Putin starts his war


It’s around midnight and war has begun in Eastern Europe.

It is Russian President’s Vladimir Putin’s war, pure and simple. The early hours were reported by AP.https://apnews.com/article/626a8c5ec22217bacb24ece60fac4fe1

Russia has marched into a neighbor, something we have not seen since the prelude to World War II.

Actually, we saw it after World War II, when Russia took over Eastern Europe, moved into Georgia in 2008 and took Crimea in 2014. 

Putin talks of “aggression” on the part of Ukraine, which is laughable. 

Russia has threatened Ukraine with dire consequences if it resists, and has also threatened the U.S. and NATO to stay away.

The U.S. has said it will support Ukraine in many ways, but not with troops in Ukraine, despite what you have heard from Tucker Carlson.

As this unnecessary war opens, the question is how long and how well Ukraine can resist, and at what cost.

Every life, every drop of blood is on Putin’s hands.
