NATO's eastern nations want better protection from alliance

5. Ukraine is running out of ammunition for its old Soviet era weapons.

I doubt any other country has a stock of much of these ammunitions. Ukraine needs NATO help now, not in a few weeks when some new weapons reach them, weapons they’ve never been trained to use. Allowing this war to go on by parcelling a few weapons out to Ukraine at a time seems senseless. It’s time for the UN to form a force to help Ukraine. I keep thinking of George H. W. Bush and the UN forming a coalition to kick Iraq out of Kuwait. Kuwait was not a NATO member yet NATO members came to their aid. Why is Ukraine different? Yes, yes, Putin has nuclear weapons and Iraq didn’t. What’s the likelihood that his generals will follow orders to launch a nuclear attack knowing that retaliation from the West would be swift and it would not target Ukraine. It would target Russia itself.

It’s either call the bully on the threat or watch as millions more Ukrainians die needless deaths and perhaps millions around the world face severe famine. It is inhumane to refuse to stop this war when it is within NATO’s power.
