THE UNITED STATES AND NATO WERE QUICK TO DISARM UKRAINE in 1991 - AT THE TIME OF ITS INDEPENDENCE - HAVE WE BEEN QUICK TO DO A NEEDS ASSESSMENT - WE HAVE OVER ONE MILLION UKRAINIANS LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES.

 

The United States has promised the Abrams tanks - they will take months to deliver. The Germans, too, will take their time to provide the Leopard tanks - perhaps the only Nation on the mend - Poland will give access to forty tanks and more to follow.

The United States, Britain, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) - the United Nations - were quick to disarm Ukraine - in 1991 - at this time, Ukraine declared its independence.

President Mikaili Gorboshev was the President of Russia - and the United States, Britain, France, and other NATO nations - never ever saw that monster like Vladimir Putin - would become the President of Russia -  and terrorize the entire free world.

These nations who disarmed Ukraine took over 1900 strategic warheads, other nuclear missiles, and weapons that Ukraine could use today - to deter the Russian Bear that has gone berserk.

We have over one million Ukrainians living in the United States.

Again and again, we need to do a needs assessment.

If we can spend billions of dollars - to send the needed support in arms, ammunition, communication equipment, and other much need materials to support President Volodymir Zelensky in this war effort - we can do an in-depth needs assessment - too.

The United States government is now in flux - with fanatics - so divisive that the President of the United States has become weak in the knees - and even though he says something, it means nothing at all. 

The two failed impeachments have emboldened some Republicans.

The Democrats keep singing the blues - it does not help Nancy Pelosi is still around - she should have packed her bags and left Congress.

Her defiant move to go to Taiwan will come to haunt us.

Much like the exit that President Joe Biden took - which has caused our Nation - irreparable damage. 

The United States - spent twenty years in Afghanistan - spent trillions of dollars fighting a war involving Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, our U.S. Navy patrolling the Southeast Asia Oceans - while the Chinese were flexing their muscle - intimidating our U.S. Air Force and even challenging our U.S. Navy careers.

The United States must be innovative - if we have one million Ukrainian Americans in the United States -indeed, we could prepare well - for the current situation at hand  - the invasion of Ukraine. 

All the needed technicians, mechanics, logisticians, and other needed technicians involved with the Abram tanks and other equipment could have been carried on - our citizens formerly from Ukrainians already trained - helping Ukrainians - uplifting one another. 

We could have been ready one year ago if we had done a deep needs assessment and had the vision for a better tomorrow.

German-built Leopard tanks - can do the job.

Capitol Hill, where fanatics have invaded the U.S. Congress.

The United Nations - the many ploys, machinations, and shenanigans. Russia must be put on the international pariah list. Debarred from any vote -  Russia, debarred from the General Assembly and Security Council - the only pariah nation on this sordid list.

We all know that World War I and World War II originated in the Balkans.

Russia has taken advantage of the United Nations - the Veto Power; bestowed on the United States, Britain, France, China, and Russia.

The Veto ploy does not work and must be removed by the United Nations - General Assembly - this must be done on a War Footing.

Merkel and Putin

Erdogan and Putin

The Demon himself

Nancy - her visit to Taiwan

Diane Feinstein - her memory fails her - yet she won't step down.

Putin and Xi Jinping

The thug from hell

The Security Council is a sham -  again and again, the mandates of the Security Council fail because nations like Russia will lie, cheat, deny facts - and make a mockery of the Security Council.

It is time that a Special General Meeting is noticed and held, and Russia removed and debarred - from the United Nations.

Russia must be put on the PARIAH List - Crimes against humanity - what we see in Ukraine cries to heaven for justice and the Hague.

I apologize to the children of Ukraine

to the citizens of Ukraine too

Russia should be ashamed of itself

More the thug Putin 

the devil himself

This invasion is totally uncalled for

the United States, the United Nations, 

North Atlantic Treaty Organization

so many were murdered - we cannot take this lightly

the children, the Elders, so many women, and men

Ukraine has paid a heavy price 

Blood on the hands of Putin and his lackeys

The infants, the children, the beloved Elders

cannot take this anymore

the free world must act and act now

we must take down this one, Demon 

the Russian Generals surrounding him - hate him

the soldiers hate him - Putin is using conscripts as fodder

Where is the Hague on this and the United Nations?

Since when can the Wagner renegades be considered an Army

the Wagner thugs are all over the world - mercenaries

they kill and steal resources in Africa

sent to countries to assassinate those that speak against Putin

Putin is a Pariah - Russia is a Pariah

It is time the United Nations, the Hague - declare 

Russia - debarred from any civilized entities that

abide by law and order - local, state, national, and international

The infants, children, youth, young adults

are traumatized - much like what happened in Cambodia, Rwanda,

Croatia, Serbia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya

we know the places like Sudan, Eritrea, Kenya, Nigeria,

Pakistan, Ukraine, the Middle East - food insecurity

the repercussion wide - the suffering deep -

there is a God; the Great Spirit sees it all. Aho

GLORY TO UKRAINE! THE WARRIORS FROM UKRAINE FIGHT FOR THEIR LIVES - ALSO, FOR THE FREE WORLD - NATO SEEMS NOT TO COMPREHEND THIS - THE UNITED STATES HAS AWOKEN TO SOME REALITY.

 

Ukraine has shown us that freedom does not come easy when folks like Donald Trump, Bashar al-Assad, Vladimir Putin, and many other egotistical maniacs are playing with fire.

All the time the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was formed - all those belonging to NATO gave Russia a pass.

 That time is over - the maniac must go - and believe me, he must go. 

As much as this flag once commended respect - the thugs - here at home have tarnished the name of the United States - allowing - autocrats to challenge the decent citizens of the United States - that is why it is critical - we win and support Ukraine - now.

Let us not think for a nano-second - the thug who invaded Capitol Hill did not tarnish the name of the United States.

The Constitution clearly demarcated a traitor's identity and the punishment a traitor deserves.

The U.S. Department of Justice has been slow - to slow - by now, Donald Trump should have been put away. 

Kevin McCarthy cannot take care of his own constituent - in California. They lack clean water and have for years - imagine clean drinking water must be shipped in. The constituents cannot take a shower - they line up at a gas station - and here is a man trying to make decisions - for our Nation - and we have allowed a jerk like him to come into power.

Ukraine needs the patriot missiles and more.

Ukraine needs the best long-range tanks to do the job.

Here we have Ukraine doing the heavy lifting, and each time they request aircover - we, the United States, and NATO, make excuses.

Ukraine asked for the Patriot missiles, and it took forever.

Ukraine needs the Leopard 2 ranks - more of them - and other tanks that can do the job - and the free world is very slow in responding.

I am cognizant of the satellites that provide precise information that has helped Ukraine. The best technology in communication that aid Ukraine. Some drones have done the job - and soon, better ones will penetrate -  deep into Russia. 

Vladimir Zelensky has made his point - he has been able to stay afloat and send the enemy packing. The Wagner renegades are hurting - Putin is pulling his teeth and hair - and there is more to come.

Several blizzards will strike Russia in less than a month, reminiscent of the time when the Third Reich attacked Russia.

There are still some veterans in Russia that can explain to Vladimir Putin - how their balls froze and how thousands - had frostbite - and more than thousands died in the trenches.

This time around, the Russian conscripts, the Wagner thug, those Russian soldiers who are sent to fight but have no clue what is happening.

Russia will lose the many maneuvers it initiates.

Ukraine will send the Russians packing and drowning in the cesspool of their own creation.

Secretary of Defense - Lloyd Austin - time to make a move.

It is a pity that President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, one worse than the other - have yet to learn about the history of World War I and World War II.

We can draw whatever conclusions about World War I.

When it came to World War II, Winston Churchill persuaded Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, to rescue Britain.

In 1991 - the United States and Britain, at the time of Ukraine's independence - persuaded Ukraine to hand over 1900 strategic warheads, 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and 44 strategic bombers.

Ukraine was promised, as most stupid nations do - when they have nothing much to lose.

At that time, many in Ukraine did not trust the Russians - today - Russia is deemed " persona non grata. "

Weak in the knees - President Joe Biden.

The Democrats are weak in the knees. - they lack sound leadership.

They spend billions of taxpayers' money - and this is not fair.

They wasted million on two impeachments that led to nothing at all.

Today our military is our only firewall - one-third of the population of the United States does not believe in the Constitution. 

Our military swears on the Constitution - but that too is eroding - and we saw many military participate in the insurrection, including elements linked to the FBI, the CIA, and other law enforcement entities.

Those with high clearance know how to handle the Top Secret documents, not the White House - Donald Trump, Pence, and Biden - pathetic.

Those who have access have to fill out documents - usually, you read the papers and immediately give them back - following a process - until the documents are returned to the archives.

Our Supreme Court is contaminated by embracing " dark money. "

Our Supreme Court has taken it upon itself to disrespect women's rights.

Donald Trump sold our Nation to Russia and other entities for money. 

Donald Trump took large loans from German banks - the golden showers he took when he was in Russia. The man is anathema - a disgrace to the human race.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Ukraine!

In the end, only good actions count.

Putin is a coward and does not have the balls to push that red button.

Truth be told - in the first 72 hours - as Puting was preparing to invade Ukraine - last February 2022 - we could have taken him out.

Several Russian Generals are feeding us with the correct information - so it is not that we do not know the empirical data - we need to remove cancer - once and for all. Aho.

UKRAINIANS LOVE THEIR HOMELAND - NOT SO THE HIRED HANDS - USED BY WAGNER ROGUE SOLDIERS - THOUSANDS DIE - TREATED LIKE FODDER - BY PUTIN.

 

This map gives the reader some semblance.

War is not for the faint of heart - innocent people die - thousands of them - while the Hague and other entities promise to do something about Crimes against Humanity - it is mostly - kicking the can down the street.

The Ukraine war is one of deceit and manipulation - by one egoistical maniac - Putin, with no conscience - killing infants, children, innocent women, and men. Putin is a coward of the highest order. 

A time coming will bring Putin and his lackeys to his knees. Putin will lose his mind - and join his wife - who has been delusional for decades.

Those with compromised health - more our beloved Elders - are put in harm's way and will die in the hundreds. Lacking electricity - many Ukrainians are suffering daily - devoid of amenities - God sees it all.

Putin has no empathy, and his hate for those that do not agree with him - cannot and will not be understood -  by sane people. Putin is deranged and has been for some time now - for decades, he has played minded games - the time is ripe to take him down.

Putin's evil actions are not about understanding - when you see cancer - you must deal with it - malignant.

We must stand tall and speak truth to power.

There has been a history with Ukraine and the neighboring areas, including Russia - the cold winters stop warring parties - and luck mostly favored those attacking - those confronted - pushing back the attacker. 

We could speak about the Third Reich - other entities - who suffered - thousands dying - the biting cold - doing its thing.

As things stand today, if the Ukrainians are given the correct type of tanks with long-range capability, drones, sound communication equipment, ammunition, and missiles that matter, aircover worth the salt - Ukrainians could send the Russians and the renegade Wagner group - drowning - into the cesspool of their own making.

In recent years Germany has been reluctant to send Leopard 2 tanks - even though Poland and other nations that have Leopard 2 tanks built in Germany - are ready to come to Ukrainian aid immediately. 

Ukrainians are not just ordinary soldiers - they are quick to adapt - have a love of their nation - and are ready to lay down their lives to stop Putin and his autocracy - nip it in the bud.

When you talk about warriors - of a kind - women and men - Ukraine stands out and is feared on the battlefield.

The United States has learned not to underestimate the Ukrainians.

The United States has helped piecemeal - and this must be changed - the necessary tools must be given to the Ukrainians - to defeat the Russians.

The United States can easily flood Ukraine with long-range missiles - if it does not want to part with the heavy and expensive and maintaining Abrams tanks.

There is always more than one way to skin a Russian bear - the analogy is used - because the Russians - have lost their mind - those that support and believe Vladamir will take them to a better place - when Russia is spiraling and swimming and drowning in the sordid cesspool - of its own creation.

 

Rewrite history that favors the Ukrainians - who will leave a legacy - make a bold statement - about how to deal with an autocrat and his lackeys.

The Germans were slow, and it all started when the German Defense Minister - agreed to send the Ukrainians - helmets - instead of ammunitions and other much need equipment - missiles, drones, tanks, aircraft - and all this will be noted by historians - more, military historians.

Germany must stop pussyfooting with Russia, and the Russian oligarchy that Germans fail to understand is history. Russia has lost its respect and honor.

There is not an iota of honor left - the demonic Vladimir Putin - that many Russians still look up to - the tiny bit of Russian Vodka that tastes stale - that caviar that stinks to high heaven - the world now knows when it sees a Russian bear - be ready to deal with excreta. 

Poland, for example, has thousands of Leopard 2 tanks - and can send them to Ukraine and may do that - if shortly the United States and Germany still drag - and cannot make up their mind.

The United States is a superpower and has failed to execute promptly - a plan that includes the  U.S. Abrams and the German-built - Leopard 2. We helped the Germans after World War II.

At this juncture, we paid the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bill in full - allowing many NATO nations - to save money - and now is the time - to fess up.

The Germans must learn by now - they were taken for a wild ride - investing billions of euros building the Nord Stream gas pipeline - only for Vladimir Putin to hold Germany - hostage.

On one level, the Germans have something for the Russians - which may be fine as long as they are on their best behavior.

However, this has not been the case - Russia has failed on many levels - the Olympics come to mind. Gymnasts take enhancing drugs - the Russians shame themselves - failing to abide by the rules.

The Oligarchs have milked the Russian system -  making investing the Russian military hardware and software - cutting corners - Russian tanks and other equipment have broken down - and become stuck in the mud.

Today conscripts - jailbirds are sent to fight - they have no training - and many are told lies - the parents told after the fact - and when some parents are told they will be compensated if their sons die - this does not happen.

Russian soldiers captured are quick to tell the Ukrainians how they were ill-treated - and most do not want to fight their cousins.

The Ukrainians - Vladimir Putin is dreaming of Stalin and Lenin - both autocrats who are not respected by the Free World. 

Stalin and Lenin have blood on their hands - Vladimir Putin - a million times more.

It is just a matter of time - Vladimir Putin is assassinated - he will die and miserable death - good riddance of awful rubbish.

It is the same with France, Italy, and any nation that puts their faith in Russia and Vladimir Putin - promises made and never kept.

It is time that Europe invest in clean power - and transfer building docks that can import and stock Liquid Gas - as well as petroleum - working with some democratic Middle East countries.

Norway has stepped up, and so can the United States and other nations.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization - must amend its policies, and so must the United Nations - the veto power given to the five nations - Britain, United States, France - China, and Russia.

NATO could have brought in Ukraine and some other nations -  lingering on the NATO list.

NATO has not invested as much as the United States it is own organization - the United States and the American citizens - subsidizing  NATO's bill - and is now processing- the application of Ukraine to NATO - at a snail's pace.

We may want the General Assembly to come to our rescue - but United Nations General Assembly - simply put - needs to be more potent - for all purposes, too much hot air - diatribe.

We, too, in the United States have a monster, President Andrew Jackson - he was responsible for removing the indigenous tribes and putting them on Reservations far from the land of their birth and that of their ancestors. Thousands were mascaraed, and we must not forget these atrocities - over 25 million acres taken from the indigenous tribes - were given to Whites - few know this history.

We honor the Lakota nation and Chief Sitting Bull.

One-third of our Nation - are fanatics - they do not believe in our Constitution. America is on the verge of change - those considering fair play and justice - are the poor - the filthy wealthy one-tenth of one percent control ninety-eight percent of our economy in the United States - think about that - as we survive to hold on to our values. 

We have over a million Ukrainians in the United States - I have told the story as best I can - more to honor the infants, children, youth, and Elders in Ukraine - those with compromised health - and I hope to visit Ukraine in the future.

Kudos to the Ukrainian soldiers - women and men. President Vladimir Zelensky has led Ukrainian well-speaking Truth to Power.

President Joe Biden -making up his mind. Screwed things up in Afghanistan - his exit plan was a disaster. This disaster prompted Vladimir Putin to make an illegal move in Ukraine. Time will tell.

Glory to Ukraine

General Mark Miley and General Lloyd Austin can make good things happen - they may have to consult retired General James Mattis - and do the right thing. Aho.

UKRAINE HAS A VERY NARROW WINDOW - THE RUSSIANS ARE SUFFERING LARGE LOSSES ON THE BATTLE FIELD - UKRAINE IS POISED TO MOVE INTO A POSITION OF STRENGTH - LONG RANGE TANKS CAN COMPLETE THE JOB.

 

General Lloyd Austin - United States Department of Defence.

Here is what General Lloyd Austin had to say to those he met with leaders from Germany, Ukraine, and other NATO leaders:

https://www.defense.gov/News/Speeches/Speech/Article/3273016/opening-remarks-by-secretary-of-defense-lloyd-j-austin-iii-at-the-eighth-ukrain/

The German-built Leopard 2 - is a tank that can help Ukraine at this juncture - mobile and has the long-range capability to do the work - pierce the rag-tag Russian army and send them packing away.

No military expert can make sense of the Ukraine invasion by Vladimir Putin. Soon it will be a year - since the attack - thousands of innocent infants, children, youth, young adults, and our Elders - those with compromised health - have died in Ukraine.

Ukrainians are some of the world's best soldiers - women and men. The layperson in Ukraine is well educated - and many have invented and adapted to the situation at hand. 

The tenacity and fortitude of the average Ukrainian have impressed the world.

Ukraine is requesting tanks with long-range capacity - to pierce through the rag-tag ranks of the Russians and defeat Russians once and for all.  

General Mark Miley - we cannot permit the rogue  Putin - to carry out horrendous atrocities against infants, children, youth, our Elders, and those with compromised health. Putin targeting schools, hospitals, and residential buildings - Crimes against humanity.

The critical Generals and decision-makers are currently meeting in Germany to decide how best to provide the required tanks to Ukraine.

Before that, it was airpower that Ukraine kept begging for, and all sorts of excuses were made.

We all remember in 1991 when Russia had Chairperson Gorbachev in charge - and Britain and the United States convinced Ukraine to hand over 1600 nuclear missiles to Russia - and promised Ukraine all the protection they wanted.  

Disarmed when Putin invaded Crimea, Georgia, Belarus, and some other former satellite nations in 2014 - the world looked away. 

One year ago, when Russia flexed its muscles again - the United States was slow to understand the situation.

We all remember Vladimir Zelensky refusing to take refuge in the United States - " I do not need a ride - give me ammunition. "

Ukrainians are highly educated and skilled.

As a matter of fact, we have over one million living and contributing to the United States of America. In the military, contributing to our technology and other professional fields.

Poland has thousands of Leopard 2 tanks - made in Germany - the mainstay of their long-range tanks - ready to take on the Russians. 

In a worst-case scenario,  Poland can have the tanks transported across the border to Ukraine - to keep the rouge Wagner army a proxy army doing the dirty work for Putin and his lackeys.

On many levels, this invasion by Russia defies all the lessons we earned from World War I and II.

The United Nations is impotent - the International Courts are moving at a snail's pace.

Ukraine has collected millions of pages of documents and photographs, videos, and other digital documentation and empirical data and statistics - one of a kind.

The U.S.-built Abrams tank can do the job - too.

Germany and the United States must quickly make up their mind - help provide the required long-range tanks built in Germany-built Leopard 2 - the Unites States provide the heavier Abrams tanks. 

So far, when it comes to drones, sophisticated communication equipment, satellite photographs, and a host of other sophisticated technology - the Ukrainians - have far exceeded the expectation of the world.  

It is a shame at this late date - the United States is making excuses - when Poland and other nations are ready to start the logistics to deliver the long-range tanks - before winter truly sets in Ukraine.

Daily the civilians in Ukraine are suffering - thousands have no electricity, no heat, no running hot and cold water, experiencing food insecurity, and a host of other maladies. 

Glory to Ukraine

A master communicator - Vladimir Zlensky - has clearly laid out his plans - and promised the free world - Ukraine will do the heavy lifting and take on Russia and the thug - Putin. 

The Patriot missiles serve some - a couple of cruise missiles - sent deep into Russia - should have been executed in the first 24 hours - after the invasion last February 24, 2022. 

Kevin McCarthy is a lost soul.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has no clue - what is happening all over the world. Now that he has decided not to address - the debt ceiling - we must address the debt ceiling - simply because we must pay our debts. You buy something - you do not get anything for free.

The Ukraine war was much like the war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria - in past decades, our involvement in the Banana Republics we created - assassinating leaders and putting in place lackeys who made to our whims and fancy.

This past history has come to bite us, the United States, in the butt.

As of January 19, 2023, our debt ceiling stood at $31.4 trillion.

If we do not pay our debt - our reputation will be tarnished forever.

We print the dollar - there is no backing of gold against the dollar - no gold is stocked up and guarded at Fort Knox.

In 2021, for example, corporations paid low taxes - trillions of dollars that could have come into our coffers - were hoarded by the corporations who occurred trillions of dollars - under the Trump administration. 

Speaker Kevin McCarthy wants to target Social Security and Medicare - typically of an idiot who has no sense - and is not fit to be the Speaker.

Kevin McCarthy became Speaker selling his store - promising this, that, and the other - and now cannot deliver - something like the debt ceiling. 

Kevin McCarthy wants to target the Seniors - who paid into Social Security and Medicare - only an idiot of the highest order would go there.

The Republicans will lose two years from now - the people are fed up with Donald Trump and his fanatics. 

The citizens and constituents are fed up with Republicans always pointing fingers at others - they cannot unite the Nation - this Nation that belongs to the Native Americans. 

More indigenous people than Whites were destroyed in three hundred fifty years - what was once pristine and wholesome.

As long as you have greedy Whites who focus on lying, stealing, cheating, and being as selfish as possible -  we will not see change - lacking empathy, love, innovations that matter, and caring for our Elders, our infants, children, and those with compromised health.

Our military respect our Constitution, which is our only firewall left.

Few military leaders and even fewer politicians are educated on issues.

In all the discussion and deliberation no mention of the Native Americans whose land was stolen.

Over a hundred treaties signed by the United States and the Native American tribes - every treaty reneged - this singular fact - says it all.

Do not trust those who speak with a forked tongue.

When anyone targets the vulnerable - the Elders, their Social Security, those living on a fixed income - the Republicans must be ashamed of themselves - scumbags that most of them - are.

These bastards do not want anything to do with our Constitution - and the January 6, 2021 insurrection reveals where these "thugs" come from - a cesspool.

The United States is the only free Nation allowing traitors to roam Scott Free. 

The time has come to deal with traitors and nip the issue that we have - kicking the can down the streets - while allowing Donald Trump to use license to neutralize - FREEDOM.
