  1. I would like to answer Wolff’s question to Senator Blumenthal about what the tanks will mean in the spring offensive. They will certainly help. But may I say something to you Wolff, Senator Blumenthal, General (Ret.) Wesley Clark and Jill Doughtery? I think the best thing that will greatly help end the war in Ukraine with Russia is to begin opening a dialogue with Russia. We are ramping up military support for the Ukrainians and it is a very good thing, but isn't this the way to go ahead with the Ukraine war with Russia? President Putin and his entourage cannot---it seems to me---connect the dots to see the whole picture. The big picture in my view is this---and I am an artist and inventor and not a military strategist or leader of NATO and experienced in any kind of military activity like General Clark, or the others who are specialists in your fields---but for me, the concept that President Putin needs to understand is this: (WE) the west, will not now and/or forever be able to accept that the Ukraine is taken over, conquered and absorbed into greater Russia no matter what the cost. What I think will help President Putin and his supporters understand this is for leaders, journalists, senior political figures and former military officers like you to speak like this: Dear President Putin, we are not against Russia in our resolve to assure Ukraine’s sovereignty. We have nothing personal against you. We want only the best for the Russian people, but President Putin, you must understand that you have crossed a red line by invading a sovereign nation and it is imperative for you and your administration to know that we will not and cannot now and for all eternity allow this to happen. It is an existential problem because your invasion of the Ukraine goes against all of our principles and it is our very existence as democratic nations that is being threatened here. So; in no disrespect to what you have decided to do as far as the Ukraine is concerned i.e., Russian doctrine, this time the goal posts cannot be moved. We understand your motives, but please try to comprehend that nothing will change our minds; the Ukraine must be liberated and the sooner you accept this, the better for you and the Russian people and the Ukrainian people and the west. It's an opinion.
