The U.S. is sending helmets, sleeping bags and generators to support the Ukrainian military -- but stopped short of approving other items the interim government reportedly says it needs to stand up to the might of Moscow, saber-rattling on its doorstep.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday that the U.S. will send the additional non-lethal military aid. The additional aid was announced as fighting between Ukraine's military and pro-Russian factions intensified in the eastern part of the country.

Hagel, speaking at a press conference at the Pentagon with his Polish counterpart, said the approved aid would include medical supplies, helmets, sleeping mats, water purification units, hand-fuel pumps and small power generators.

In other words, the US is now providing non-lethal aid to the russians, because they'll confiscate all of this stuff as they overrun ukraine military units and bases.

Throw in a few cases of Obama's autobiographies, just to keep 'em occupied.

[[ US sending helmets, other non-lethal military aid to Ukraine ]]

I'll guess that if North Korea invades the South, we'll rush all kinds of non-lethal aid to them, as well ???

What's the military designation for balls and jacks?
Why?  Well, because I'm a bastard, that's why.

That's an interesting idea!  Tell 'em the Russians are grazing cattle on land that doesn't belong to them!
