Holy moly, el Presidente Trumpo is trying to win me over today!! It was just announced that the Donald has lifted an Obama era BAN on lethal weapons sales to Ukraine – even as they fend off the Russians and Putin’s aggression!!!
NEW: State Department confirms that Ukraine may now buy weapons and small arms from US manufacturers. The US government is not providing them, but Ukraine can now source them from the US.

Wow. Well that’s just awesome.
The Trump administration on Wednesday approved the sale of lethal arms to Ukraine’s government as the country battles pro-Russian separatists in its eastern provinces.
The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the administration approved the sale of Model M107A1 Sniper Systems and associated equipment to the country at a value of $41.5 million. The administration has not yet moved to approve heavier arms requested by Ukraine’s government, including Javelin anti-tank missiles.
AND it’s also a tiny-thumb to the eye of Obama, whose former agents are now accusing Trump of appeasing Putin!
The move from the White House is a departure from the Obama administration, which frequently condemned Russian aggression in the Ukraine but refused to approve the sale of arms to the country’s western-aligned government.
First the tax cuts, and now this?!
I’m pretty close to buying a MAGA hat, you guys.
