Is History Repeating Itself?
If the United States is going to be able to keep any friends around the world and maintain the respect of foes and allies alike, then we MUST LEAD the free world in support of the courageous Ukrainian people. It boggles my mind that the same Americans who insist on spreading woke, anti-bully seminars within our education system are also demanding that we should mind our own business and let Ukraine be destroyed by Russian bullies. Are they really so obtuse that they don’t see the exact same human characteristics playing out on the world stage?
Recall the wise words of Sir Edmund Burke:
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do NOTHING.
What would real leadership in support of Ukraine look like?
- Cyber strikes to take out the Russian banking system and their communications networks
- Pour anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles into Ukraine from our European bases so they can regain control of their nation
- Send a division of M-1 Abrams battle tanks to patrol the border of Poland/Ukraine (it would be a real shame of some Ukrainians were allowed to come and 'steal' a few)
- Air drops of food, equipment, and ammunition to supply the Ukrainians courageous enough to fight
- Deploy multiple aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean and establish show of force Combat Air Patrols to discourage Russia from crossing any borders
- Remove ALL restrictions on the production of energy in the United States so our production will eliminate the need for any purchase of energy from Russia
Has Biden mentioned any of these serious measures? Are you aware that Biden has imposed more sanctions on American oil drilling than he has imposed on Russia?
Bullies are never dissuaded by cutesy talk, sanctions, and negotiations. For those of us who study history it is obvious that Putin’s goal is to create a new Russian Empire and become a modern day Catherine the Great. He basically told us so in his own writings these past several years. Putin is using the same justifications that Hitler used when he invaded the Sudetenland during World War II and he will find future justifications to take Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania. How many mothers, fathers, and children in Eastern Europe have to be murdered by this bully, thug, before the White House will get serious about putting a stop to it?
Make no mistake: China is chomping at the bit to gobble up Taiwan and they are carefully watching every move that the United States makes in Ukraine Iran and North Korea are also watching. They already believe that Biden and his Pentagon team are weaklings based on their actions in Afghanistan. Was that disaster just an anomaly or the beginning of a trend? Time will tell but everyone who voted for Biden should be deeply ashamed of themselves right now. May God have mercy on their foolish souls.

This is a great deal of Wisdom!
I do believe that world wide sanctions can be somewhat effective, but they needed to be 100 percent and put in place for a designated amount of time. Putin like the rest of the worlds bullies, will try to negotiate out of the sanctions, once he has obtained his goals. In history, with the exception of President Reagan, America has always caved, so Putin is not concerned.
The suggestions by Publius, need to be put in action today, and add to them every other thing we can do. The world has a maniac at large, who has no rational thoughts at this time, he is evil.
