Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Melik Kaylan: Obama and Merkel are clueless about Putin
US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel hold a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, Feb. 9, 2015.
Apparently a strategic consensus now emerges that Ukraine cannot win the struggle against Moscow, not even on its own territory. The Russkies cannot be beat. Therefore Ukraine should receive no arms. That's the logic. Obama, prodded by Merkel, largely agrees though makes noises about keeping 'all options' open.
