(#5640) Russia must be made to stop in Ukraine now!

      I find it telling that the US media is all about telling Joe Biden, the fierce defender of democracy to step down. While not at the same time chastising trump for his anti democracy statements and actions. There it is in a nutshell. The corporate media has struck a bargain with fascism and is now willing to forego our democratic roots. The America we once lived in as children is no more. There is a scourge in the republican party highlighted by trump but the roots of it has been dormant for decades. The rot of republicanism is here now and in full display for all to see.
     The republican party has been playing the long game with keeping our society from enlightenment just so that they could better control those who do not now have critical thinking skills. What does this have to do with ending the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Everything! Ukraine is a symbol of democracy trying to keep its right of self rule. If we don't stop the putin madness then we are enabling him. Justice is a word that has few definitions. Give Ukraine all that it needs to justly end this putin led cabal of democracy destroyers then we will see that our own democracy will strengthen. Otherwise the republican party through its disgraced leader trump will find a way to turn our shining city on a hill into Moscow.
     Ukraine has a plan to end Russia now and we in the west are not being helpful to Ukraine. We put restrictions on the weapons we give them despite the advantage that gives to Russia in its continued onslaught of Ukraine. Democracy under Ukrainian control is going to be magnificent. But to get there the Russian invasion must be made to stop and putin must stand trial for his thousands of war crimes! I know that fear plays a part in how we decide to let Ukraine use our weapons but fear is nothing if we lose it all in reality. The time is now for bold action with courage and then let the chips fall where they may but only through bravery will we be able to claim that democracy is for all people not just for those who can easily defend it!
