We heard that the United States doesn’t want to risk helping Ukraine because helping Ukraine would pull us, NATO, into a war with Russia. If we, NATO, get involved, then such involvement might/will make Putin mad, and Putin might use his nuclear weapons. I guess we don’t want to make Putin mad. So, let him slaughter the Ukrainians. What happens after he destroys Ukraine? What will we do if he invades Norway, Sweden, or Finland? Again, we don’t want to make Putin mad. We think we know what will happen if he invades NATO countries. Then, again, do we know? Well, we don’t want to make Putin mad. We don’t want to anger a ruthless barbarian. What will we do when he uses chemical weapons to annihilate innocent Ukrainian civilians? If we don’t want to anger Putin, then we should give him any country he wants. When do we tell Putin that his reign of terror is over? When do we tell him that Russia will experience what the Ukrainians have experienced? While we wait for sanctions to cripple Putin, he continues to murder, and he won’t stop as long as he knows we don’t want to make him mad.
