Thanks for this Charlie. I was dismayed by the walk back. As I am dismayed, disheartened and discouraged by all the NATO countries pussy-footing around Putin. Scared to piss him off. Well, you know what?!? I AM PISSED OFF! We all should be!

Zelensky is correct: We are ALREADY in the beginning of WW3... Just look at the news. It has begun.
If Putin is deranged enough to drop a nuke later, then he's deranged enough to drop it now. He is a rabid dog and needs to be put down either by dying, or by arresting, or by a violent overthrow by the Russian people.
I wish to God Biden's WH had not tried to tiptoe backwards out of the room. When Biden makes a "gaffe" it's usually because he's telling the truth, in an unpolitic way.
Biden was correct in the first place: Putin must not be allowed to remain in power. It's time we go into Ukraine to protect the innocent, and be as brave as the Ukrainian people. Putin is why the world cannot have nice things.
BTW... giving in to the demands of a psychopath only encourages them... it does NOT stop their bad behavior.
NATO is trying to sacrifice Ukraine to keep themselves safe. But it won't work. They need to go in en masse and put an end to the slaughter. Shame on us for trying to use the Ukrainian people as a shield. We are sacrificing them on the altar of fear.
I'm frustrated too, but I think saying that NATO is using Ukraine as a shield is not completely accurate. In order to get a coaltion of countries together in a meaningful way takes time and cooperation. If you go too fast and too soon....you risk losing the coalation.
I'm guessing that there's coming a time where Putin ups the ante with an egregious use of WMD's or just out-an-out firing squads killing Ukrainians or something...and the world is going to say "enough!" and will start issuing Putin some ultimatums. The coalition will be strong and unified and if he doesn't back down at that point...then the world will do something about it...with the US and NATO leading the charge.
Okay. But it appears that the Ukrainian people and Pres. Zelensky are the only ones fighting and dying for Democracy. I find that morally questionable at best. And I think to tiptoe around a bully is the surest way to piss him off, which is what leads to escalation. Punching him roundly will make the bully back off... Didn't you ever watch any popular teen movies? (that was rhetorical) Who knows what will happen? Probably not even Putin.
The sanctions are probably a bigger punch then you are giving them credit for...especially if it starts impacting his oligarchs. There's already been some rumbling about them not being too happy with this invasion.

I hope they find a way to remove him from power.
