(#5143) Russia needs to be punished

      The bully here is Russia. So anyone who sides with Russia in the invasion of Ukraine has a serious lack of judgement. Unless of course anyone is a wannabe tyrant. much like trump and musk who seem to believe that tyranny is better than democracy. The conmen and wealthy of the world probably would find tyranny greater than democracy because it is easier to control people as property than as free human beings. Most conmen and wealthy are more psychotic than not so a lack of empathy is their foundation. Believing in democracy goes against their world view, which brings us back to Russia. With the tyrant putin wanting to destroy the Ukrainian culture, the fault for fighting back is not on the Ukrainians but on the Russians.
     Ukraine did not instigate anything with Russia. They just want to govern their nation according to democratic rule. That has nothing to do with putin and his plans for Russia, it is just that the ego of putin cannot allow a former soviet satellite nation like Ukraine to be self governing. So putin invades Ukraine because he wants to not because Ukraine attacked Russia. So if I hear of anyone who would blame Ukraine for fighting back against Russian aggression then I know I am listening to an idiot or a psychopath. There are some who think that fighting back against an invasion is wrong. Well I can tell you this much, if you don't defend yourself  when attacked then who is to stop anyone from taking all from you, including your life?
     So what must happen going forward is a real hard punishment on Russia for its provocative act against Ukraine. There cannot be any wishy washy confrontation here on the part of Ukraine because their lives are at stake. So those who are not Ukrainians and are blaming Ukraine for fighting back you are the worst of what is a human being. People who have little regard for honor or principle are prone to being unable to find the courage to stand up to bullies and would rather shirk that and live in fear. Well the Ukrainian people are not without honor and principle so those who are not Ukrainian need to understand that fighting for ones life is the most honorable thing Ukrainians can do.
