So, just go right ahead attack with full-on war, wrecking cities and killing people?
You are making the case - retroactively - that Ukraine should have been accepted into NATO - they did need protection after all.
So...Russia is supposed to wait until Zelensky uses nuclear and biological weapons on them?
Do you really believe Putin is "just a mad man" and he "attacked Ukraine for no reason"? Ukraine is a crime syndicate and Zelensky is a corrupt as they get. The Democrats REFUSE to address their underhanded dealings in Ukraine.
As for killing people, two things: 1. The Ukrainian militias are attacking those trying to leave. 2. Russia has granted safe passage to anyone who can make it past the Ukrainian militias. Since Democrats in this country are aiding ALL foreign invaders across OUR southern border, the Ukrainians can't claim they have nowhere to go. They can keep even their names such as Josef instead of having to change it to Jose.
