Few leaders are more despised than England’s Neville Chamberlain. His efforts to appease Adolf Hitler led to World War II. He could’ve stopped Hitler when he was still weak. He failed to do so. The strength of the evil was allowed to grow. Appeasement failed. Chamberlain will always be viewed as a coward and a failure.
President Joe Biden needs to take decisive action to stop the growing evil coming from Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Just sending weapons is not enough. We need to get warplanes to the Ukraine. NATO needs to establish a no-fly zone and engage the Russians if they violate it.
Putin has already started World War III. Let’s fight Putin now in Ukraine so we do not have to fight him in Europe and on our own shores. Declare war if necessary. Be decisive. Stop the carnage. Save Ukraine. Save Europe. And save the United States of America.
What the hell do we have a military for if we’re not going to use it to save Ukraine?
