  1. Contact your representatives and make sure they know that we expect the huge financial contributions we are making to this war to be used more aggressively. Cynical western bean counters rather like the idea of grinding down Russia’s (Putin’s) power by forcing him to throw all of his resources into the bottomless pit of Ukraine. They would see to it that Zelensky only ever keeps get these small, incremental bumps in the war effort aid we offer, making the conflict last indefinitely. But, if Ukraine had 20 or 40 Patriot systems, operational all over Ukraine now, Putin would be powerless to commit his war crimes and would be seeing nothing but one defeat after another, as a more focussed and concentrated Ukraine can spend its resources on ejecting every last Russian boot from their soil. Putin wouldn’t survive that domestically, and all of the chaos we’re seeing in Europe, from Germany to the Russian border, would be thrust back where it belongs: INSIDE RUSSIA! So, yes! I agree. Don’t let ANY news service sell you the, “long term,” or, “stalemate,” line, as it’s rubbish! It really is up to us. Do we want to save ourselves a fortune by investing now, giving Ukraine a Navy and Air Force so seal their border from Russia, from the Black Sea to Donetsk? Are we willing to push this mess back into Russia and gamble that we can influence the outcome toward a democracy there, where they get so desperate that their new administration is willing to trade away their nukes for aid and embargo concessions, and looking to the west for rebuilding? Or do we want to keep standing by and watching these war crimes, EVERY DAY, in which the innocent are slaughtered by a coward leading cowards, who only ever makes nuclear threats every time we talk about it in the western press, because he knows he’ll get a response, even though he would never dare commit suicide like that? Tell your politicians we’ve had ENOUGH! Stop giving Ukraine what they need to cling on for dear life. Give Ukraine what they need to FINISH THIS! Let’s make this Putin’s problem!

  3. Indeed. The allies need to get real and authorise a full scale bombing strategy on Russian soil. NOT the Terrorism and war crimes of bombing civilians, hospitals and energy stations. But there are plenty of troop bases, air fields, train lines, ammo dumps, fuel depots, etc, and we should have been stepping up the type of weapons we have provided from the start. Ukraine can and will eject every last Russian boot from Ukrainian soil, from Donetsk to The Crimea, whether we see to that or not. But securing all of that takes a navy and airforce. If we give them that, we will be SAVING vast amounts of blood and treasure. Write to your representatives, people. TOTAL VICTORY is the only acceptable outcome. Ukraine has sacrificed too much for anything less.

  4. Putin’s using up the last of his munitions while there’s still some hope of getting any of them through, knowing that the Patriot systems are on their way, through which they cannot penetrate. It’s desperation on his part. As well as War Crimes. The allies need to authorise counter attacks on all legitimate targets in Russia! Ammo dumps, Missile bases, troop bases, hardware storage, transport systems, train lines, everything that the Russians use to prosecute their terror war crimes. ALL OF IT needs to be bombed out of existence. Ukraine can and WILL win! We cannot weaken our support. Russia HAS TO LOSE!

  5. These are indisputable WAR CRIMES being committed almost EVERY DAY! The world should be doing far more to STOP THIS in its tracks. It effects every one of us, and we are already (ALL OF US!) financially invested contributors, paying for this war. If you pay taxes, buy fuel for your vehicle or pay to heat your home, some of that money is paying toward this battle for humanity in Ukraine, which gives every one of you a legitimate stake in the outcome and a seat at the decision making table. It’s up to ALL OF US to make our voices heard, to contact our representatives and DEMAND that our resources are used with greater commitment! If Ukraine had a navy and airforce to back its efforts, along with better missile defence, they could take Putin’s stick from him and silence his guns! This war could have been over in 2022 if the commitment had been there and our politicians STOPPED cowering every time Putin makes another empty threat! He only makes those threats because we act so scared when he does. Losing Ukraine will cost Putin his job and cause chaos inside Russia, WHERE IT BELONGS! Let us turn this tide fully back on the Russians and stop all of this slow, incremental hyper-caution! Time to defeat Russia QUICKLY, so they cannot prepare for it and all flea to South America, or do more harm before they are toppled! Time we stopped acting like such bitches and we KILL this terrorist state off and give Russia their first ever democracy! Tell your politicians this THE election issue of 2023! ✌️🇺🇦
