are willing to fight Russian forces so better take care of them now rather than later. According to Clarke. Putin won’t stop at Ukraine so we are going to need to confront him at some point so better to do it now than later when American lives maybe in jeopardy. That oped is terrifying. It lays the foundation for the justification for complete genocide of the Ukrainian people under the banner of “denazification”.
