Much of the news centers on German Chancellor Angela Merkle's visit today with President Obama about the escalating situation in the Ukraine.
Ad we noted last week we're seeing more Western editorials calling for Western powers to send arms to the Kiev government. Last week the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal piped out similar tunes.
As odd as it seems, fear mongers and war monger sometimes occupy the same boudoir.
(Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel is set to argue in Washington on Monday against arming Ukraine in its conflict against Russian-backed rebels, while in Brussels EU ministers held off tightening sanctions to give peace talks a chance.
Merkel's message that sending Western weapons to Kiev risks escalating the conflict is likely to get a sympathetic hearing when she meets President Barack Obama later in the day.
