Today is the anniversary of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of
Ukraine
Undeterred by Biden’s threat of sanctions if they did not refrain
Why should Putin have worried as when Biden was V.P.
The only aid we sent to counter Russia was blankets and MRE’s?
Even this time if military aid would be sent Russia would have taken Kviv by
week three
Instead the Russian Bear was met with force and courage they
never thought they would see
On the road to Kviv they were stopped in long lines in their
tracks
Had the U.S. artillery and Javelins been there the slaughter would have more
quickly forced them back
As China and India and other nations ignore the sanctions and
Russian oil continue to buy
Russia can finance its military invasion as Ukrainian cities are bombed and
citizens by the hundreds die
Putin must have thought Ukrainians’ resolve to fight would crumble
As their cities became more and more of destroyed rubble
He ignored the lessons from the bombed citizens of London and Berlin
Killing citizens from the air is not a guaranteed way to win
141 nations have supported the end of the war and for Russians to withdraw
Putin will ignore the resolution until the body bags flowing in become the last
straw
It took 15,000 dead Russians for them to come to their senses and leave
Afghanistan
That number has probably been greatly exceeded how many more body bags will
Russian mothers withstand?
A good number of Putin supporting oligarchs by sanctions and seizures are feeling
the pinch
How much more pain before these wealth oligarchs tell Putin it is time for
Russian troops to squinch?
As NATO offers to insure that Ukraine will not join NATO
But treaties are signed to defend it if Russia again into an
invasion mode goes
