Short of what Rick said, the only way Putin will be stopped is from within......Hopefully the Russian people will take matters into their own hands soon. The vast majority of them do not agree at all with this invasion.
The administration approved $350 million in military aid including javelin missiles a week ago. Congress is arguing over $10 billion because they combined it with a covid relief package. Why is it whenever there is a spending bill, someone has to tack on something that is going to stall it or even kill it. It never fails. As a result, the Ukraine will fall before it gets approved.I think the window of opportunity is closing on what can be done. Artillery would help, air support if they have pilots. TOW 2's or maybe drones. I'm not sure if civilian contractors would be allowed at this point.

If you want some insight about how most Russian families think about what Putin and what the sanctions are doing to them, look at"Dan Sheekoz" videos on YouTube. I have been watching him for 2 years now and he has opened my mind to the Russian people.Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Again, we can hope something happens internally where his own turn on him. I can't believe the moral is high among the Russians let alone his army.
Thanks. I will watch a few. I listened to a little of one video so far.If you want some insight about how most Russian families think about what Putin and what the sanctions are doing to them, look at"Dan Sheekoz" videos on YouTube.

I would have expected that anyways. Right or wrong I don't expect my enemies to adhere to the GC.‘I Just Can’t Stand By’: American Veterans Join the Fight in Ukraine (Published 2022)

In keeping with the title of this thread….that is "Sad but True".Right or wrong I don't expect my enemies to adhere to the GC.
Yes that is true. And even more disturbing reports/ escalation this morning. Made me look up this morning for what is good. And I realized the blessings near me and am thankful for them.In keeping with the title of this thread….that is "Sad but True".
Quit buying Russian oil and continue to build the keystone pipeline would be the two biggest things that could be doneThe meme does some it up to some extent and it is sad but what other choice is there without starting WWIII? I have heard allot of criticism of NATO and the US but I have not heard any suggestions on what they should do. Other than military aide and crippling economic sanctions, what can they do while avoiding WWIII?
Gotta start somewhere.Quit buying Russian oil and continue to build the keystone pipeline would be the two biggest things that could be done
