9. But, this is EXACTLY why

Putin is taking Ukraine and attempting to intimidate the world, warning of a nuclear war if we intervene.

Do we want the world controlled by Putin and Xi? Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do. We are not fools. We do not want war. But, you cannot let Putin take over the world while you sit idle, and hope that the Hitler-like entity stops at Poland or the Baltics.

We never should have allowed him to take Crimea or parts of Georgia. Now all he needs to do is talk tough and threaten nukes, and he either gets territory he wants, or other concessions that he wants.

I applaud this new warfare, sanctions out the ass until he quits. But, he is never going to give back Ukraine. Let us cry for Ukraine, because we are not doing ENOUGH to help them. They didn't need pretty speeches; they needed help on the ground.

Eff Putin, eff Xi, and all that helped them. It's crazy that world peace hinges on the whims of a madman because we couldn't find an excuse to help hidden in all those documents.
