In a recent interview with conservative talkshow host Charlie Sykes, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) criticized President Obama's lack of action in dealing with Russia's recent annexation of Crimea and offered up his own solution:
How about we send in a military mission? We all agree that the Ukrainian military is hollowed-out, why don't we send military advisors-- not boots on the ground-- not combat boots-- le't assess what the Ukrainian military needs short term as well long term. That will send a pretty strong signal. Why don't we send those MREs in, why don't we fly those in with C-130s and get an American aircraft on the ground to show Vladimir Putin that we are going to, finally, stand our ground and we are going to stand-up for other freedom seeking people.
Earlier in the interview, Senator Johson also criticized President Obama for refusing a request from the Ukrainian Prime Minister for fire arms.
