WAR

 

We have war today. I was born in 1941; I lived through the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. I read and heard news about Evil every day.

 

The Evil is back now, today. Tyrants are Evil, regardless of the time and location. If we do not stop tyrants, they will expand their depravity until we force them to stop.

 

Putin is a tyrant, plain and simple. Tyrants act Evilly, it's what they do.

 

We define Evil as the complete lack of concern for those souls harmed by their actions; tyrants like Putin inflict their Evil on their subjects. We see it when Russian officers force Russian soldiers in Ukraine to step over bodies of their fallen comrades to advance Putin's interests.

 

Here is Evil defined:

Some Americans support Putin and work to prevent the USA from stopping Evil. They do Evil work by preventing actions in the United States designed to stop Putin’s war.

 

Putin’s Russia started a War in Europe by invading Ukraine and threatening to expand his invasion to other NATO countries. Since we are the principal arms and munitions suppliers to Ukraine, the United States is involved. Putin tries to infiltrate American elections to create an American inability to act. That makes his invasion campaign easier when Ukrainian troops run low on ammunition.

 

Putin actively sows misinformation about domestic US conditions in various channels. He hopes doing so will make the US weaker;  click here for proof. Trump and the far right GOP in Congress accept Russian propaganda as justification for their actions to weaken the United States.

 

We should find a way to deliver weapons and munitions to Ukraine quickly, in spite of GOP tactics designed to delay our response. I am certain our failure to do so will expand the War to other European countries.

 

Part of Putin’s control of Russian citizens relies on blocking messages from the West reaching them. We created Radio Free Europe [RFE] after World War II to ensure delivery of truth to Russian and other Soviet Bloc nations. RFE succeeded in that task. We should expand greatly those activities today. The goal will be to stir unrest in Russia so that Putin fears for his control.

 

We should also initiate activities designed to foment unrest in Russian citizens. We can support Expat Russians planning a transition to a new Russian government after Putin dies. We can encourage those Expats to write a Constitution, create plans for nationalizing enterprises and ensuring military cooperation to prevent any new tyrants from taking power when Putin dies.

 

These tactics will help our War Effort.
