The courage and creativeness of Ukrainian President Zelensky is in stark contrast to the lack of fortitude, and decisiveness of the leaders of the NATO nations. President Biden could learn a lesson from his predecessor, President Kennedy’s response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Direct confrontation and zero tolerance is the only effective means to solve a problem like the one the world now faces.
Not giving Ukraine the fighter jets needed is
resulting in an extremely bloody and destructive war. The mortality, morbidity, torture, and
displacement resulting from this protracted war is inexcusable, not only for the
Russians, but for those nations which have not given the needed fighter jets,
while making outward shows of ineffective support.
In addition, the billions of dollars spent on sending
band aid weapons to a patient fighting for life, not only causes extended
suffering, but also unnecessary future economic hardship for the United States
and other donor nations.
Poland, Moldova, Romania, and other nations hosting the
countless Ukrainian refugees are among the few heros in this conflict besides
the super-human Ukrainians.
While attention is on the unjustly incarcerated US
citizens in Russia, where is the concern for the thousands of Russians also
unjustly imprisoned in Russia? Or those
people forcibly ‘filtrated’, tortured and relocated? Or the children forced to watch their Mothers
gang raped and murdered? Or the ten-year
old Ukrainian boy ‘conscripted’ into the Russian army to kill his own people? Not to mention the thousands of innocent
peopled killed in a conflict not of their making?
I pray every night for peace and justice in
Ukraine. But right now, prayers are not
enough! Where is the courage of the NATO
nations?
