As we confronted Hitler, we must confront Putin

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

America’s support for Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion is in our critical national interest. It mirrors the challenge that our nation confronted in 1940 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought to support Great Britain with arms needed to fight Nazi Germany forces that were attacking Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France.

That spring, Hitler’s armies marauded west. The American public was not eager to engage in a second European war. Roosevelt did what he could to support Great Britain in its darkest hour because he understood that this was in America’s national security interest. He had the breadth of vision to see how our fate was bound to the outcome of this new conflict.

America today faces a similar situation. Ukraine — a democratic country and one aligned with the European community — has been viciously attacked by a Russian dictator who is seeking to extinguish a bordering nation that is showcasing the benefits of integration with European states enjoying free markets, freedom of expression, and democratic institutions and elections.

President Joe Biden rightly seeks to send more military aid to Ukraine for the same reason that Roosevelt in 1940 sought to aid Britain. Biden, like Roosevelt, is a serious leader. But he is being hobbled by a Republican-dominated House that takes orders from Donald Trump, who wants to slow or stop the United States’ military aid to Ukraine.

2. Hitler didn't have nukes

If Putin didn't have nukes he would have been stopped by now. The whole problem with this conflict is it's purely defensive on Ukraine's part. No on dares invade Russia and take out the guy who is responsible for this all. instead Russian soldiers who have no say and no value to Putin are paying the price.
