Stop Putin Now

Stop Putin Now!

Putin is an evil man, a thuggish dictator running a kleptocracy. He kills journalists. He kills political opponents. He kills innocent civilians by the tens of thousands.

Putin said he wants the Russian empire back (Belarus, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia...)

In 2014, after the Ukrainian people demanded and started their journey towards democracy, Putin took Crimea from the Ukraine and occupied the Eastern regions of Ukraine.

In 2020, when the Putin backed Belarus dictator stole an election and remained in power, Putin provided him with the “police forces” to quash the demonstrations and financing to overcome the West’s sanctions and Belarus became a vassal state of Russia.

Now, after an hour long passionate speech where Putin claimed that the breakup of the Soviet states was illegitimate, Putin invades Ukraine, a fledgling democracy. A country that gave up its nuclear weapons in return for a promise, including by the US, to protect Ukraine’s border integrity. A country that volunteered to help the US fight wars including Afghanistan. 

As Russia continues to kill thousands, cause millions to flee and destroy cities in the Ukraine, the Biden administration continues to be afraid to stop Putin.

Just recently the US refused to allow Poland to donate their Mig29 fighters to Ukraine  Poland asked the US to be the party to transfer the jets to the Ukraine because Putin threatened Poland (a NATO  country) with war if Poland sent the planes directly to Ukraine and Poland is afraid that the US may not help them if Putin attacks them.

Sitting safely in Washington DC, the Biden administration refuses to transfer the jets, claiming that Zelenskyy doesn’t really need them, despite the Ukraine begging for the jets, deciding how Zelenskyy can best defend his civilians.  Biden is afraid transferring the jets would start a war with Putin. This despite that we are sending thousands of javelin missiles and stinger missiles that are killing Russians.  

What should be obvious from the inept performance of the Soviet army in the invasion of Ukraine, there is no reason to fear war w Russia. 

The only possible thing to fear is that Putin might use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine. However, this is a false excuse. If Putin is willing to use nuclear weapons to take the Ukraine,  he’ll be willing to use them to take the rest of his empire (Baltic states). 

Stop him now!
