You are right! There are, obviously, choices to make. The problem is that Putin wants his way and Nuclear is one of his options which he can threat with. If he really does that then our side will also have a choice to make. The whole thing scares the sh*t out of me! I suspect that makes me a coward.

If we don't do what we are doing Putin will continue to all countries to Russia. He has made no bones about that one. Apparently living under Russian rule is something that's not real fun. Remember, Ukraine actually preferred the Nazis to Russia! In other words Putin will keep on going, and accumulating, and stealing, and lying, blowing things up, killing children and raping the women until he is stopped. He has nukes and threaten with them on a regular basis. I personally think that we have no choice unless we too want to live in Russia where them in charge will continue to take everything for themselves.

I have no idea how this whole thing is going to shake out. I do know that just about anybody who has any power has gone to Russia and attempted to talk to Putin and they have all failed. Putin is not going to change! My own thought is to wonder if there is anybody in Russia who knows the facts and really don't want to die and can deal with Putin. I personally don't think so but the thought is comforts me. All the people who understand the results of a Nuclear war is the complete destruction of anybody involved and, probably, the end of the world as we know it. NOBODY WINS!

Ukraine is, right now, bombing stuff in Russia and when we give them more stuff they will be getting bombed even more. I don't see where we actually have any choices on this one. I also think that the Ukraine is going to win this one. Russia's army is a bunch of untrained kids as the best of their army was destroyed by Ukraine at the beginning of their attack (they say). Their equipment's technology is, apparently, 1950 tech and the stuff we are sending is up to date and, I think, Putin is starting to understand that.

I, as usual, wish us all luck!
