No excuse for this war in Ukraine

A recent letter used the presence of Nazis in Ukraine as an acceptable reason, by Russia, to invade Ukraine. I want to remind you all there are atrocities in China (against the Ugars,) North Korea, (against its own people,) and countries all over the world (Africa etc.) They have not led to wholesale missile bombardment of a country. Russia invaded a smaller country! They have leveled whole cities with their missiles! There is no acceptable excuse for this war. Ukraine is an ally of the United States.

The United States signed an agreement in 1994 with Ukraine and (laughably) Russia. It was a non-aggression pact stating that if Ukraine gave up its nuclear missiles, the US and (laughably) Russia, would protect it from aggression from any country. Wow!

Do we look the other way when an ally’s destroyed?

The world is watching. Bullies like China and Russia will keep coming for smaller nations if we do nothing. Taiwan is scared: China’s flying fighters over them every day. The Balkan states are worried. And they should be. Putin has stated “We’re coming for you next!”

The United States’ word used to be golden. Biden has taken this country to the brink of destruction. All you “Green New Deal,” “Global Warming” activists, won’t like it when nuclear fallout destroys our planet!

Wake up Democrats you must not let this happen! November is a “water shed” moment. Change the way you vote and vote Republican, even if you don’t trust or like them.
