(#4999) Take out Russian conventional missiles launched from Russia at Ukrainian population centers

      When one nation is trying to destroy another nation the rules for engagement must not restrict the nation from being attacked to defend itself. Regardless of the consequences the nation being attacked, in this case Ukraine. must be allowed and helped to destroy the offensive capabilities of the attacking nation, in this case Russia. No matter what military might the attacking nation poses through threats. If this is the moment of truth for which we have all been living under then so be it. Many have put this kind of threat in the back of their minds pretending that it is not real, however it is real and must be dealt with when a bully triggers the possibility.
     One who is in a fight cannot be asked to save his own life with one hand tied behind him. The one being attacked is the victim. Treat him as such and help him fight the unprovoked attack. Russia will do what it does and that will be on them so we must do what we do and not be hindered by threats from a cruel and brutish dictator. Our way of life is being tested so we must meet the test head on with all our principles for democracy intact. There will be no cowering to a bully only raised fists. It is on putin to prove he is a weakling or a madman. Either way he will be finished over this.
     Whatever long range missiles or fighter jets required must be allocated if we are to defend democracy for Ukraine. The Russian long range missiles need a response or the civilian population in Ukraine will continue to feel the throes of agony for generations to come. The madness of putin and his ease at committing war crimes must be put to an end and that means right now! The world is watching and will take their cues from those of us who have said we will protect Ukraine but what does that protection look like. Will we help Ukraine stop all attacks on it's  homeland or will we stand by and let the scoundrel putin murder scores of people because we are reluctant to face our own destiny?
