Enough of the Non-Military Response to the War in Ukraine!

I don’t play poker but if I did, I’d be smart enough to know that one of the most effective strategies of a good poker player is the bluff. I would also surmise that you should never tell the other player what is in your hand.
I mean its San Tzu, Machiavelli, Musashi or Von Clausewitz 101.
Yet every single one of the fearless leaders in the West has told Adolf Putin right up front we have no Aces. Maybe none of our leaders ever read classic books on war strategy, it wouldn’t surprise me.
But I bet Putin did, he fancies himself as a bit of a history buff you.
So, Mr. Putin just to let you know up front before you invade Ukraine, murder their children and flatten their cities.
But if you don’t stop your invasion, Russians won’t be able to eat at McDonald’s or enjoy a coke with your Vodka.
That will fix them!
Are you kidding me?
What gives Putin the right to invade another country, and then tell the rest of the world if you interfere with my evil plans of wiping Ukraine from the map, for that is exactly what he intends to do, we will nuke you?
Let me get this straight:
But now we won’t lift a military finger to help a pro-Western, European country, and brave citizens of Ukraine, survive the most brutal attack on a country since Hitler bombarded Stalingrad.
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war, and I sure as hell don’t want my kids to die in a nuclear war but I’d rather risk it than see Putin succeed in destroying Ukraine or anywhere else for that matter.
That goes for China too!
You must stand up to bullies or bullies become Hitler’s and Stalin’s with an unquenchable desire for power and property.
I am ashamed of the US, UK, France, and Germany’s, lack of any military response.
Germany donates free, moldy anti-tank missiles that don’t work, and then still pay Putin millions of dollars a day for gas because you are hooked on it like a heroin junkie? Screw you Germany!
And it’s not just Germany, Russia is still getting paid an estimated 289 million dollars a day for oil, and gas this has got to be stopped!
MESSAGE TO UKRAINE — Blow up the dam NORDSTREAM pipeline if Europe won’t stop buying Russian oil and gas.
Macron who was showboating for worldwide attention for his diplomatic efforts with Putin now looks like Coco the clown.

Poland offers 28 Migs to Ukraine if the US will deliver them, and we say NO.
Ok it was a clever political move on the part of the Poles, I get it, but the US immediately say “Untenable”
No Mr. Biden it’s not untenable, it’s just that you and your advisors are weak. As are Boris, Olaf, Macron, and the rest of the EU crew.
Oval Office, October 23, 1962, Sign orders during the Cuban missile crisis
Do you think “Untenable”is what JFK or Churchill would have said?
No, it’s not, they both had a brain, experience with dictators, and some balls.
If we don’t grow some it’s only going to get worse. While the sanctions look good on paper does anyone think Putin’s or his Oligarchs are going to miss any meals?
Or that they really care what the plight of the average Russian peasant is?
They don’t!
I know that it’s a complex situation but removing the obvious options, including helping Ukraine militarily has made a bad situation much worse. The West must do more and they must do it now!

2 年When the US, China and the markets like stability Putin and his chaos and selfish war will run out of rope. These are big stakes on the biggest stage and Putin is going "all in" on a time that has passed. Every day that goes by will bring more dissent from his own people and the rest of the world and he will be done once and for all, even if it means nukes, which he would initiate unless China steps in to mediate.
