The West has a problem with Russia. I think Ukrainians should not be limited to fighting the war with Russia in Ukraine. That is hobbling their capacity and a real end to the war.
The issue in Ukriane is about genocide. This is not a war of disagreement. It is a war of survival and Ukraine should be allowed to carry out whatever aggression is necessary to end it. Russia is not going to the peace tables to allow a country named Ukraine to exist. Russia wants a state in it's territory called Ukraine.
The people of Ukraine do not want to be absorbed into Russia and it would appear for good reason. The Ukrainians currently held in Russia are being relocated to places like Siberia. This is common practice for Russia according to the Moscow Times.
September 8, 2014Stalin loved to resettle entire populations, (click here) casually transporting huge numbers of people over great distances like cattle. For example, over just two weeks in 1944, 180 Soviet trains forcibly relocated nearly 500,000 Chechens from their homeland to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. As the train wagons hurtled along, 56 babies were born and 1,272 died.
Two months later, Stalin decided to ship 186,000 Crimean Tatars to the same destinations. He allotted only three days for the task. Workers unloaded 200 corpses from the wagons before the trip had ended....
Ukraine needs to fight the war that it needs to fight, not the war that NATO feels safe from a confrontation with Russia. Russia is a problem. The West needs to address the short term and long term strategy with Russia because this is not going to end. Communists want the people of the free world eliminated. I would think with the brutal killing in Ukraine that would be obvious by now. Stop living in a world believing peace is possible. For communists, treaties and peace are tools to achieve advantage and opportunity to get a leg up on The West. There is peace process with communists that will live for generations.
Get over it.
Peace is a dream, not a method.
