(#5516) A third world war is ripening!

      Let me be perfectly clear. No third world war need to be had. It will only come about through ignorance, obstinance, and selfishness. Yet it seems that all three of these negative otherworldly characteristics are much in vogue in the current iteration of republican political circles. For the most part however there is much in the way of this scenario of foolishness and greed. Yet not enough to stop the current momentum that is being actuated by some who should know better. We have somehow gotten to appointed leaders who would rather gamble on a world war then not. As incredible as that seems our reality is proving it true.
     For months many of us have been boldly exclaiming that if we don't do the right thing by honoring our national commitment to helping Ukraine stop the mad rush of the tyrant putin at Ukraine's doorstep the whole of Europe will become involved in stopping the madness of putin further into central and western Europe. With that NATO will be activated and all the world will have troops in Europe fighting to protect the alliances and treaties negotiated since the end of world war two. A third world war will not be the same as the land war of world war two. It will involve sophisticated weaponry that will hit all cities from any country. no one will be safe from a third world war anywhere on our planet!
     All of what I have just expressed could be avoided simply by letting the brave Ukrainians stop the putin rush at the border of Ukraine and Russia. But not until the republicans in the House find both their courage and sense to allow a vote on the Ukraine aid we all need to keep putin within his own borders. If ever there was a simple turning point that could be activated to prevent world wide despair and misery this is it. The history books will either herald the defeat of Russia at the Ukrainian border or they will lament the lunacy that the House republicans caused through a third world war. There is still time for republicans in the House to do their duty to democracy and the world but that time is quickly running short...
