(#4766) Like a rabid dog, putin needs to be dealt with

      There is no stopping putin if the rest of the world just ignores him and says that it is not my problem. He is like trump, a bully, but unlike trump in that he is much more psychotic. Both he and trump exhibit the same traits of not caring about anyone but themselves, yet putin is a much more cold and calculating killer than trump will ever be. So to not pay attention and then give putin free reign to threaten and demand as he will is tantamount to suicide. Because putin won't stop. He wants it all and he wants it now. If it is war putin wants above all else then we all have to prepare to make the sacrifices necessary to defeat him and put him away.
     There is no place left for murdering psychopaths to have free reign over our societies. They must be dealt with harshly so as to promote an outcome none would dare try again. Swift, powerful, and deliberate action is always the cure to those who would bully and kill to enhance themselves. I am a civilized man who cares about the rights of all people. But to defend that which who I am now takes courage and the nerve to stand up to anyone even if it means harm to myself or those like me. There is a better way to live in society that has no mentally unstable ruthlessly cruel leaders at the helm. Our democracy shows us that when it is protected and participated in it is by far the greatest form of government ever devised.
     So as the lying and threatening putin continues to try to muscle his way into the sovereign territory of others those of us who stand by and say it is not my problem will eventually face the same problem. Like with Germany when too many stood silent as each right was stripped away from them by the nazis, when we fail to defend the obvious violation of laws and the logical loss of innocent life we are in our omission complicit in the dastardly deed. We must do all we can to stop putin now before he gains a momentum to do even greater harm where our own values will again be tested. Putting an end to putin and his unstable world view is our top priority and must be dealt with now or the stakes become even greater!
