U.S. Military Aid For Ukraine

While Ukraine continues to protect their freedom against Russia. Earlier today, September 18, 2014 CBS published an article" Ukrainian president asks U.S. for military aid " in which Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko reached out to the U.S. for military support against the Russians. After Poroshenko met up with President Obama they made it clear to the world and Russian president Vladimir that America would stand by Ukraine. Poroshenko made it clear, that the U.S aid will prevent Russia from attacking because Russia will be afraid to put their soldiers in danger. Emphasizing the U.S. world power. Poroshenko claims that Russia doesn't only threat Europe but the entire world.
            The U.S. is concerned that if they don't cease Russian hostility. Russia will try to attack the NATO allies. In which would cause a larger world problem. Therefore The Senate Foreign Relations Committee plan to vote on a bill in order to aid Ukraine. Poroshenko finishes his claim by saying, "You support a nation that has chosen freedom in the most cynical of times. In Ukraine, you don't build a democracy, it already exists -- you just defend it." As Americans we understand what it's like to fight for freedom, similar in the way as we fought for our freedom against the British. Aiding Ukraine could cause another problem for America, but it will display the U.S. sympathy towards a nation who is fighting for their freedom. As well as make it evident to the world that America is a country that supports world peace.
