The Nightmare in Ukraine

[peter92305]

I am beginning to worry that we may be losing our resolve to ensure that Vladimir,( his parents must have named him after the Russian hero Vlad the Impaler!) Putin fails to take Ukraine. If he does succeed in his quest, his next target will probably be Finland and possibly even Sweden. We must not be taken in by his propaganda. Anyone who genuinely considers Ukraine to be the aggressors here is misguided in the extreme. Ask the residents of the old East Germany whether they were happier under the communist dictators rather than the freedom that German Unification gave them and see what they say.

Neither Finland nor Sweden are members of Nato so they would get no protection from the West either. Putin must not be allowed to rape any more of these Sovereign independent Nations of the world. The Prime Minister of Sweden is on record as saying that Sweden joining Nato would destabilize Northern Europe. I think she is ill-advised. What will destabilize Northern Europe will be Sweden becoming part of the Russian Federation.

We must continue to support Ukraine as far as possible by helping to supply them with munitions and giving financial support to the numerous aid agencies like Red Cross, Unicef and Medecins sans Frontiere whose volunteers put their lives on the line to attempt to save others.
