After the screenings, journalist and author Andrea Chalupa hosted a far-ranging panel discussion with the videographer. The other two speakers were Mouaz Moustafa, central figure in “Red Lines,” the award-winning documentary about Syrian activists, and Michael Weiss, editor of the online journal The Interpreter and author of “ISIS: Inside the Army of Terror.”

Mr. Weiss, the remaining speaker, revealed that Vice-President Joe Biden flat out told Sen. McCain: “there is only one man in the country who thinks arming Ukraine is a stupid idea.” Despite his stirring pro-Eastern Europe/NATO speech in Tallinn, Estonia, the president stated at a recent fund-raiser: “We have no interest in Ukraine.”

Western politics has been all talk and no action. Ukraine needs anti-tank missiles like Javelins and surveying drones, yet Congressional hearings revealed even much of the formerly promised non-lethal aid has not arrived. (When Sen. McCain had asked Syrian freedom fighters about the aid America sent, they replied: “We don’t need pizzas.”)
