Close the skies over Ukraine.


         Posturing for peace does not stop invasions by Putin's Russia

President Volodymyr Zelensky is asking for a united effot today and for tomorrow. He is looking at the issue of how the world protects from wars, disease, climate and natural disasters. He literally wants a reaction force of nations at the ready to stop catastrophe of all kinds without disasterous time lapses. His view is that of the world and not that of The West or the USA. These are countries that need the same efforts that are known to Americans. It is an embrace of life, freedom and democracy.

President Zelensky asks for more sanctions that will be felt by the Russian Duma and the Russian people. It is appropriate. This attack by Russia is destroying the land and killing innocent people. 

Persident Zelensky wants to defend his country and is asking for the methods of weaponry. He is not asking for soldiers. He is asking for supplies for his military to use to end the Russian assault. Ukraine is at an immense disadvantage to oppose Russia. Russia must be stopped in Ukraine. If it is not stopped it will continue to move against NATO. There is no doubt Russia is at NATO's doorstep. It is foolish to ignore the obvious.

Ukraine needs food, water, medicine as well as all the military needs. Today, there is a reporting of the death of ten civilians standing in line to receive food. The killing is merciless. There are dearly few options for the Free World. We provide help at all levels and end the idea of The West is weak and unresolved to it's values or face this assault again by Putin and his allies. 

Russia is coming for The West. Now is the time to stop the assualt that is assured to happen in the future.
