I suggest you read up on Crimea.  They have long considered themselves part of Russia, their population was mostly Russian, they wanted to be part of Russia not the Ukraine.  Trump is right, Ukraine is a basket case.   They'd probably be better off under Russia again.  the reason they are not  - becuase there is a huge Ukrainian national lobby in this country, who have never gotten over that they were invaded and made a satellite of USSR. 

There is no circular argument.  We were going to equip Ukraine with defensive weapons and now we aren't.  The truth is we just don't care that much about Ukraine.
