(#4844) The fight to save Ukraine is our fight!

      For those republicans who still think that putin and his invasion is none of our concern well that is bullshit! Anywhere a bully murderers on this planet is our business. We are fighting to preserve civilization when we stand up to bullies whether they are heads of states or some local gang leader. Nowhere can we let the murder of force prevail when we have laws and institutions to prevent them. If we let some off the hook for their crimes then we are vulnerable to more who would see that as an incentive. Zero tolerance for murderers is our obligation to civilization.
     We all inherently agree to live under a social, moral, and ethical contract when we reside within society. For those outside society then they have a different code and if their code is in violation of ours then they must be brought to justice however their aggressions manifest. Same with those who live within our social, moral, and ethical societies. If they violate the laws established to maintain the right to exist within the laws then they must most assuredly be held to account. What is happening in Ukraine by the Russian horde and putin in particular is many violations of our norms. There has to be an accounting but in the meantime there has to be a stoppage of the rampage putin has initiated.
     The Ukrainian people have reminded us just what fighting for survival looks like. Their very existence is on the line here through no fault of their own. How could we as a purported democratic nation not step up and help them stave off extinction from the bully putin? The Ukrainian invasion by Russia is our fight as well and those other countries in the west are coming to the same conclusion. The tyranny of murderous force must never be allowed to exist as a pathway to power. Ending the Russian murderous invasion into Ukraine and putin's dream of conquering for the sake of conquering is no less than an attack on our very souls and must not be allowed to continue!
