Well said. It is time to show our willingness to put an end to this invasion and to Putin’s regime. Nothing less.

Absolutely, end the reign of Sauron, destroy Mordor and all orcs that have committed war crimes. Nothing less!

So true. The Western democracies are making a similar mistake to what we did in the 1930's. Slow walking assistance to the countries that are fighting an aggressive fascist. I know if we don't support Ukraine, China is prepared to move on Taiwan. Slava Ukraini!

Yes!

Putin versteht leider nur Stärke als Antwort. UK, Polen und Frankreich haben das langsam verstanden. Die DE-Bundesregierung hat diese Erkenntnis leider noch nicht...

Exactly.

Putin the genius has new Nato neighbors and a new iron curtain thanks to his special operation of goodwill, Russia's economy is in the red same as his dwindling military

And China sits and watches, measuring the will of NATO and the West. It will determine if they attack Taiwan. But Israel, already slaughtering and starving civilian Lebanese and Palestinians, not only Hezbollah and Hamas, and U.S. can’t give enough arms and assist with actual kinetic acts of war.

That’s right, we’ve made this mistake before and worse has followed. Since the full-scale invasion, we have been so weak that the tyrants have become emboldened. Let's not repeat this mistake.

Everything about the West was correct, it’s weak, but unexpectedly, for russia, Ukraine appeared to be strong, and its strongeness makes the West responses stronger, step by step, day by day… Ukraine will win.

I couldn't agree more.

Wait till Trump takes over and negotiates away your land and asks to be nominated for the Nobel. Ashamed to have him as President.

💯

Putin is getting desperate, as his economy is imploding, and his “Kursk by J20” is looking grim, so he waves the nuke flag hoping that will stop the “escalation.”

Time to ratchet it up.

No more Twitter or it’s a block.

Twitter is Musk’s personal white board.He took the best social media company and turned it into a maga propaganda sounding board,an election interference bot nest from Russia, Iran and China.He drove out the best minds to prevent our democracy from turning autocrat.He’s a domestic terrorist enabler.

Historically the only thing what russians truly understand is a superior firepower used against them.
