Some criticism of our Ukraine policy claims that we limited what we had been doing in terms of military aid to protect that nation from Russia (just as Henry Kissinger had capped military aid to Israel to 'just enough') thereby encouraging Putin's military attack. Even today, we correctly oppose the 'no-fly-zone' that Zelenskyy wants since, in enforcing it, the danger of direct conflict between American resources with those of Russia would risk igniting a nuclear World War Three. Zelenskyy responds that World War Three has already started, in Ukraine. Western democracy has to do better for Ukraine than what it did for Spain in 1938, but the danger of nuclear war limits options.

Jack, all true. It may be, as Zelensky and many others have suggested, that WWIII has begun -- but it is not nuclear war yet. And Joe Biden with NATO are trying to keep it that way, with the hopes of all rational humans upon them. We must agonize over the suffering of an innocent population, in order to avoid the annihilation of potential billions of humans. It is that simple.

Do all you can do: Support our President, send prayers, send courage, send Light, and maintain your hearts and humanity.-- it probably will get much, much worse.
