Putin violates residences, schools, apartment complexes, civilians,
nuclear power plants.

Sen. Lindsey Graham calls for Russians to carry out a Julius
Caesar-style assassination of Vladimir Putin: 'Is there a Brutus
in Russia?'

"Just because one guy wants something, why should these kids suffer."

Garry Kasparov

We are witnessing, literally watching live, Putin commit genocide
on an industrial scale in Ukraine while the most powerful military
alliance in history stands aside. It's impossible not to be emotional,
but let us also be rational and focus our rage on the facts.

Putin once again told Macron to go to hell, no surprise. NATO/EU
has already told Putin they won't touch his forces, so why should
he listen? Russia is lifting target limitations and the death toll
is rising every hour and lack of water & electricity is critical.

No treaty forbids NATO nations from fighting to defend in Ukraine.
It's a choice based on the risk of Putin going nuclear, many say.
That arming Ukrainians is an acceptable risk of WWIII & the citizenship
of the pilot or soldier changes Putin's nuclear calculus, or NATO's.

If they care so much about the fine print and think Putin does too,
ask Zelensky to issue Ukrainian passports to any volunteer to fly
in combat. Sell jets to Ukraine for \xe2\x82\xac1 each and paint UKR flags on
them. Do you think Putin will care? Is it worth the lives lost?

This is already World War III. Putin started it long ago & Ukraine
is only the current front. He will escalate anyway, and it's even
more likely if he succeeds in destroying Ukraine because you have
again convinced him you won't stop him even though you could.

Biden & others insist NATO would retaliate should Putin attack
Baltic members. Watching Ukraine, I am not sure of that at all, and
Putin won't be either. If the calculation is about nuclear risk,
it's no different over Estonia than Ukraine. Don't say "Putin would
never".

If this sounds familiar, it's the same argument from 2014, when
Putin invaded E Ukraine and annexed Crimea. It was too risky to
stop him, I was told, as I pleaded for intervention and warned he
would never stop there. Here we are, with bombs raining down.

Risk and costs are higher now because the "reasonable" people in
the West always choose lower risk today to guarantee higher risk
tomorrow. Clearing the UKR skies after a warning period is risky.
Letting Putin destroy Ukraine is riskier, & a human and moral
disaster.

There is no waiting this out. This isn't chess; there's no draw,
no stalemate. Either Putin destroys Ukraine and eventually hits
NATO with an even greater catastrophe, or Putin falls in Russia.
He cannot be stopped with weakness.

The corridors to get weapons, food, and medicine in and refugees
out are narrowing and can be closed. Putin can bomb the trains,
close the borders with NATO nations. The odds of Russian forces
hitting a NATO asset are increasing, and then what? Still watching?

If your answer is no, that if a wing of a RU jet crosses Polish
airspace, of course NATO will engage immediately, ask why thousands
of Ukrainians civilians dying first matters less than a treaty, and
what that says to Putin. That you're honorable, or a fool? We know.

As I said in 2014 and a fateful week ago, the price of stopping a
dictator always goes up. What would have been enough to stop Putin
8 years or 6 months or 2 weeks ago is not enough today, and the
price will rise again tomorrow. Fight. Find a way.

Putin vows to exterminate Ukrainians while we watch. Ukraine did
nothing wrong but try to join the democratic world that is now
witnessing crimes against humanity in real time. Not unable.
Unwilling.
