(#4810) Ukraine is the make or break moment for the civilized world

      What will we in the west do while we combat our fear of a nuclear war? Are we willing to stop the genocide in Ukraine despite the threats of a nuclear war from putin? Or will we continue to sit by doing what is barely minimal to keep the genocide from happening? Let me explain this one point before I go further; putin will never stop threatening to start a nuclear war. So the question is will we disregard his threats now or later? Now would be my choice because if not now then many more will suffer from his genocide. A choice will have to be made, live on our knees in putin and trumps world or stand up to the bully and force him to choose the world war he threatens.
     I would submit that putin is blowing hot air up our asses because he knows a nuclear war with the west will leave the west at least partially alive while the Russian state will no longer exist. Even if putin hides out in his bunker for a few years he will have to eventually surface. Then what is left of the west will hunt him down like the world destroyer he is. We will all die eventually so our loss of life is to be expected eventually or in this case offered up in order to constrain and depose putin. To let putin frighten us from doing the correct moral and ethical thing is not to be allowed at any cost!
     We have to have the courage of people like one of our founders, Nathan Hale, who said "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Such is the honor and dignity that we are seeing displayed in the Ukrainian people. It is up to the western democracies now to decide the future of our planet and to live under a despot like putin because he thinks we are weak kneed is not a choice I would ever make. Let the mighty be mighty and that is what the Ukrainian people are exemplifying. We in the west are of the same ilk so it is time to for us to display the same courage of the Ukrainian people now!
