The Russian reaction to that news should be really interesting. The American's know that they can't put their troops on the ground in the Ukraine, without causing a holy hell storm reaction from Putin.
I would think that he would react strongly to seeing Ukrainian troops cruising around in M1 tanks or flying F-18 Super Hornets, so arming them might not be a great move.
Nor can the American's afford to do nothing beyond useless diplomacy because no one will trust the American's again if they abandon the Ukraine after the disarmament treaty that was signed in I think 94
