(#4866) Stay focused on Ukraine

      We human beings are at a tipping point in our history, no different to me than the last world war. We either fight to keep our best form of government alive, democracy, or we let it slip away from us leaving our futures dark and unforgiving. Although this invasion of Ukraine is on the other side of the world from us here in the states, we are no less compromised if Russia is victorious. Because Russia will not stop at Ukraine. They are hellbent on taking the world bit by bit if we don't stop them now! If you think it is hard now to stop them then think about how it will feel when Russia takes Ukraine and then our NATO allegiances start to crumble in the face of the Russian threat.
     We, the western democracies, will never be as strong as we are right now. So now is the time to end the Russian threat and put a stop to the madness that is being displayed. If we don't stop Russia in Ukraine then expect to see China move on Taiwan. It is an inevitable consequence of being weak. If we show weakness then The Russian and Chinese governments will attack us and/or our allies hard! So every decision we make concerning the strategy of the Ukrainian defense is critical. Sure we don't want to escalate to a nuclear war but we cannot control the Russian hierarchy and it's decisions to escalate or not. All we can do is push Russia back to beyond it's borders with Ukraine and then keep them back with all our might.
     If hitting inside Russia with missiles to thwart any attempt from Russia to stockpile weapons purposed for Ukraine then so be it. There is no soft pedaling this defense of Ukraine. We have to hit Russia hard and with mighty force to get their attention and make them withdraw from their murderous attack. We must in essence beat the bully to a pulp so that the bully will never again think that they can take what is not theirs! Such is the case with putin and his Russian acolytes. Beat them down hard and then leave them harmed and begging for mercy!
