I Am No Longer A Pacifist
The events in Ukraine aren’t a war, but an invasion for Putin’s sport
They are slaughtering people in Ukraine every day. People just like you and me. The only difference is they are unfortunate enough to live in Ukraine.
Leader Putin of Russia wants to claim their democratic, free nation as part of the empire he wants to create.
I regard Vladimir Putin as evil. His craziness may have developed as he gained ever-increasing levels of power over the people and everything else in Russia.
I really don’t care about the cause. I want him to be removed from power by any means necessary. As soon as possible.
Now that I’ve said that, I have to confess that my country, the United States, cannot take any direct action to remove Putin from power.
The irony of honor being mocked
I am struck by the irony that multiple nations, with the intention of creating treaties to prevent wars, are being threatened by a man who cares nothing for treaties or honor.
These parties to NATO and the European Union cannot directly go to war against Putin and Russia because Russia is also a member of these organizations.
