HOPEFULLY SANER MINDS WILL PREVAIL

It doesn't take a long time for me to get tired of a war. This Ukraine mess has been going on for over three weeks now and I have already had a belly full. I am sure I am not alone. Putin is an international terrorist who is also now a war criminal. He's a baby killer and seems to especially like civilian targets. 

 

Other world leaders seem reluctant to call him out for his crimes. But Ron, he's got nuclear weapons. We don't want to upset him. Well guess what. We have nuclear weapons too and probably much more sophisticated than Russia’s. It is long past the time when Putin worries about what we might do as we spend less time thinking about what Putin might do. Nobody wants a nuclear war but we cannot show any reluctance to defend the free world. 

 

We have seen the level of incompetence of his army just recently. They seem poorly trained and poorly led. Most are extremely young and miss their mommies. As more and more of them are shipped home in body bags, believe me, the parents and relatives of these kids are going to have some serious questions for Putin and his generals. Speaking of his generals, it has been reported that 3 or 4 of them have been killed by the Ukrainians in battle.  In addition, reports today are that up to 10,000 Russian soldiers have also been killed by the Ukrainians. I'm pretty sure that's not what Putin had in mind when he decided to invade this little country. 

 

Already thousands are demonstrating in Russia and other countries around the world. You can't do what Putin is doing without consequence. He has arrested thousands of his own citizens for even questioning the emperor's decisions. The news media in Russia can only report what the Kremlin allows. Any criticism of Putin results in a 15-year prison sentence.  

 

All of this leads me to hopefully believe this war will soon be over.  We are left with a nut case in Russia and a questionable case of senility here at home. Not a happy place to be. One hopes saner minds will prevail. We can only hope.
