The United States nor the EU nor NATO should not use nuclear weapons. If the United States, the EU, or NATO gives the Ukrainians what they request, and we let the Ukrainians defend themselves that is not starting World War III. The war has already begun, it's just a matter of how it will end. There are American casualties already in this war.
Russia fired upon journalists from America as well as the BBC. With that being said, when did the west murder journalists when they were reporting the news?
Whether or not you deny it, or whether or not you accept it, but we are in World War III, right now.
It is true that Putin is no Saddam Hussein, but a murderer he is nonetheless. Putin has gotten away with atrocities which Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump did not address fully. From Clinton to Trump our leaders were more afraid of terrorists than Putin. The only time the Democrats were afraid of Putin, is when the Clinton campaign charged Trump with a false accusation of Russian collusion.
Trump stood strongly against Putin but if you remember the Democrats tried to undermine Trump. This empowering Putin.
Zelenskyy is correct. War is here. And it is against an old enemy...Russia. And not the USSR. Remember the Soviets are no more.
Putin is playing the west in a game of poker. Who has the greatest bluff? The west or Russia? China is watching...
Shakespeare said all is fair in love and war. Therefore, nuclear war is fair game. But it doesn't have to come to that! But as nuclear war is fair so is the loss of civilian lives. Since Putin made it so, it would be prudent to strike Russia but strike through the Ukrainians no American life no western lives, should perish.
With that being said, if Russia fired nukes we fire EKV's. The EKV is capable of taking out the nuke missiles.
NATO and the United States should protect against nuclear war. But not at the cost of innocent life.
How long will free nations allow this indiscriminate killing to continue? The mission here is to save Ukraine not to invade Russia!
Even France came to the side of the founding fathers during the American revolution! Why can't we support Ukraine? This would be the right thing to do. And at this point in time, I am not worried about China. Xi will back off if Putin loses. But Xi will take out Taiwan if Ukraine loses.
Then whose next? Iran? But if Ukraine loses, then all three countries will invade all of us. China has already begun it's involvement in this conflict...however China seems to be holding a sense of neutrality.
I understand this is scary....so we should stop it now!
