(#4888) If Ukraine had the needed firepower this Russian invasion would be obliterated!

      There is no doubt that the Ukrainian people are a fierce and determined culture. There is no comparison between them and the Russian horde. The Russians are not fully determined to fighting at all costs to defeat the Ukrainians whereas the Ukrainians are more than determined to kill every invading Russian on their soil. the difference is stark and exemplified. The only thing holding back a complete annihilation of the invading Russian army is the lack of the military equipment Ukraine needs to get the job done. We in the west who have promised to help Ukraine are being subdued by the right wing fanatics in our individual political arenas.
     In Europe there are those who still have allegiances to putin and make fighting against his murderous invasion difficult. Same here in the States. We have practically the whole of the political republican party betraying their oath to defend democracy even here at home, let alone in Ukraine. Despite that though there are enough of us to force the reluctant and obstructing putin supplicants to bow to our demands to protect and defend Ukraine. The pressure we apply here at home on our politicians can have a positive effect even when it seems impossible. Fortunately there is an election in little over 4 months so the republicans are nervous about their individual futures and publicly observed connections to putin.
     I have been so impressed with the Ukrainian fighting spirit and am jealous that I am not over there fighting with them. If I have learned one thing in life over the span of all the days I have lived it is this; fighting to maintain democracy like with our ancestors in the two previous world wars is an honor and worthy of participating in whenever democracy is threatened. Ridding the world of the power of the Russian horde is a bonus alongside the prominence of Ukraine rising to a level of distinction that deserves the world's applause and gratefulness. Long live Ukraine and hopefully they will get the armaments the need to stop the putin murderous onslaught as quickly as possible!
