Late for meetings and too late to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons?
Invaded by Russia, Ukraine is abandoned by the US. What possible justification for Obama denying Kiev defensive arms? http://t.co/iSAv7CJEF4

The reaction is mixed:
@krauthammer @DanaPerino guess when he was talking about flexibility he wasn't talking Pilates.

.@krauthammer @BenjaminNorman Because #Ukraine is not part of NATO, and we have no legal interest? We're not the world police.

From Krauthammer, "Ukraine Abandoned." This abandonment was, I suspect, always the plan. http://t.co/GpKFM0zkZg

@krauthammer @DanaPerino 6months ago majority of Ameri people couldnt find Ukraine on a map but we are obligated to provide arms to them now

@KellyAyotte @JoeNBC @krauthammer what a stupid statement! Are you suggesting that we enter into warfare with Russia?

@krauthammer @slone Why is it "abandonment" given a non-ally and not a country of strategic interest to US? Isn't it prudence?

The NATO summit has concluded and we’ll hear more from the president shortly.
Pres Obama nearing end of his NATO Summit trip. He meets shortly with Pres Erdogan of Turkey and then has a news conference at 1130am/ET.
