We are living in dangerous times. Russia is like a scorpion and is just being Russia as it has been for 500 years. But our leaders have ignored that and completely failed us and are still failing us and are slow-walking us towards WWIII. And I will not sit quietly and watch. 2/14

Russia is dangerous and MUST be stopped. In both Ukraine and Georgia. Most urgently in Ukraine but imagine if we had helped Ukraine to decisively repel Russia in 2014? How much bloodshed and heartache and rape and torture and murder could we have spared the Ukrainian people? 3/14

Instead we pretended the green men were separatists, that it was unclear who shot down MH17, and accepted Obama’s Russian Reset. We did not help Ukraine after Euromaidan in 2014, nor did we help the brave Belarusian people in 2020, but we can help the Georgia people in 2024. 4/14

For one because it is the morally right thing to do. It is actually morally imperative to help the brave people of both Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus to break free of Russia’s brutal interference, invasion, occupation and repression.

Otherwise what are our values worth? 5/14

But also because it is the only way to actually stop our progress towards WWIII. Russia is being its own brutal self and will not stop. Not in Ukraine, not in Georgia, and please believe me when I say:

We’d be FOOLISH to bet our future on Russia stopping at the NATO border. 6/14

Instead we need to recognize that Russia is more than likely to continue. And most likely until it is stopped.

It will never be satisfied.

After Ukraine comes Georgia, then comes Moldova. After Moldova comes … we don’t know. But an emboldened Russia is not likely to stop. 8/14

Not dealing with Russia after it attacked Georgia, and not dealing with it after it invaded Crimea/the Donbas were the two biggest mistakes of the Obama administration. The US was stuck on Russia being the big power, while Georgia and Ukraine were invisible to them.

It is surprising, because Obama despised Putin. But Obama placated him.

I suspect (although it is probably irrelevant) that Obama was well intentioned, but he was one in a too long string of frustratingly weak US presidents. The US has been rusting for years, and this insanity is the the bump the country has hit where everything seems to be falling off the car.

Yeah. Huge mistakes. But sort of followin US policy back to the 90’s and the Budapest memorandum and Bush’s Chicken Kiev [sic] speech.
