(#5140) Give Ukraine what it needs short of nuclear weapons

      Let me be perfectly clear here. The Ukrainian military is doing the world a favor right now. Sure they are fighting for the right to self determination and preservation of their country. But they are also fighting to stop putin from advancing further into a larger scale war. Ukrainians have made it clear from the outset that if the western nations would only supply weapons and munitions, the Ukrainian forces would fight and defeat the Russians right there in Ukraine. If Ukraine is not successful in stopping Russia from over running its borders then the Russian horde will be further emboldened to cross into Poland, Moldova, Finland, Sweden etc... and other European countries as Russia wants to begin by consolidating the whole of Europe into its egoistic sphere.
     So stopping putin now in Ukraine is the single greatest event that we in the west need to accomplish. The only way that Ukraine can stop Russia is for we in the west to give Ukraine the modern weapons and munitions they need to not only defend against Russian attacks but to move offensively against Russian military targets outside of Ukraine. Russia has stockpiled weapons and troops just beyond the Ukrainian borders in order to have them ready to attack inside Ukraine at a moments notice. Well Ukraine needs to be able to destroy those military targets in Russia that are a direct threat to Ukrainian sovereignty.
     So giving Ukraine a full compliment of strategic conventional weapons is in the interest of Ukraine and as well the interest of all freedom loving nations on our planet. From tanks to planes to missiles, the greater good is achieved under the scenario of Ukraine being a trusted partner in the dissolution of the Russian plan to dominate the world. As a trusted partner we have to supply Ukraine without apprehension nor doubt. Ukraine needs the modern warfare armaments in order to defeat the larger army of Russia. There cannot be any doubt now that putin is not interested in peace. He is committing war crimes every day so does not want a world after he is done that would hold him to account for his atrocities. Give Ukraine everything they need under the heading of conventional weapons.
