It is time to consider war with Russia (by nature of alliance that also means China)

Since the beginning the illegal invasion by Russia into Ukraine it has completely disregarded the Geneva Conventions. As this war grinds on Russia is worse and worse rather than resolving to seek peace. The sanctions important and should continue, but, there needs to be discussions among NATO and allies what character this conflict will begin to take for the end of these rouge countries.

Russia has no right to disturb the actions of Americans. Taking these men and then charging them as criminals is illegal and the actions of a rouge country.

While Russia is causing nothing but death and destruction the rest of the world is starving. This is what Russia wants. It wants to kill others because it hate us. If there is no use for a country or it's people then it sees death as a real answer. This is more than genocide of Ukraine, it is the genocide of every country that counted on Ukraine for it's food sources.

Two American veterans (click here) who were captured by Russian-backed separatist forces in a battle near Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, earlier this month may face the death penalty, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov told NBC News.

Peskov said the fates of Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, 27, and Army Sgt. Alexander Drueke, 39, will be decided by a Russian court. They were "involved in illegal activities... (and) should be punished," he said. He said they weren’t likely to be protected by Geneva Conventions afforded prisoners of war because they weren’t part of Ukraine’s regular army.

The State Department issued a statement calling on "the Russian government – as well as its proxies – to live up to their international obligations in their treatment of any individual, including those captured fighting in Ukraine."...

Russia and China wants escalation for ideological reasons. Either they learn to live with other countries to they need to be trimmed back in their position in world order. This escalation with Russia and China was spurred by Trump. Now, the world is reeling from their ideology.

The Ukrainian Navy (click here) may soon set a record for the sunk tonnage of the enemy fleet since the Second World War....

...It is noteworthy that in almost four months since the large-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Navy has not yet sent a single ship to the sea.

The war in Ukraine and now in Russia is stalmated. That does not help the world's need for food.

...After weeks of bloody battles in the east (click here) — with as many as 200 Ukrainian soldiers killed daily, by the government’s own estimate, and a similar or higher toll among Russian troops, according to Western estimates — Russia holds roughly the same amount of territory in Donetsk as the separatists controlled in February before the invasion....

Being a hawk doesn't come easily to me. But, the picture regarding Russia's illegal invasion into Ukraine has brought a focus no country on Earth ever thought possible. The very long war in Ukraine is not what any country expected.

The world, including NATO, expected the sanctions to bring Russia to it's senses. They didn't and now the confiscated boats and any other real property that has been taken will have to be sold to pay for the war in Urkaine. Russia lead by Putin has shown it's true colors on the coattails of Trump's four years of plans of sedition. It is time countries outside the circle of Russia's influence begin to not only sanction it, but, consider what a winning strategy looks like becuase I do not expect guilt ridden Putin to change his ambitions of killing and destruction to satisfy him.

If China has a conscience at all it would be working with Putin to end his plans. If China is a ridiculously ideological as Putin, then the war is inevitable.
