Biden Moving To Send Long-Range Ballistic Missiles to Ukraine

February 24, 2024

In one sense the Ukraine conflict is over.  In another sense it is dangerously expanding.

Quick and Simple Chair... Fitzgerald, Audrey Check Amazon for Pricing. Biden and Putin are taking the path to nuclear war.  Biden by providing long range missiles to Ukraine, and Putin by refusing to use sufficient force to bring the conflict to an end before it spins out of control.  

To again repeat my warning, by allowing the war to drag on, Putin is inviting more provocations and more dangerous provocations.  Putin’s way of fighting the conflict has cost far more lives than a quick and total military victory which would have been over before Western involvement could be organized.

The Kremlin should have seen the Maidan Coup in the works and stopped it. Failing this, the Kremlin should have accepted the request of Donbass in 2014 to be reincorporated into Russia like Crimea.  Instead, the Kremlin sat on its hands for 8 years with a totally unrealistic belief in the Minsk Agreement  while the US built an army for Ukraine, the Kremlin itself making little, if any, preparation.  When the Kremlin finally was forced to intervene in Donbass, the bulk of the fighting was done by a small private military force, the leader of which was disgusted by the Kremlin’s defeatist restraint. Putin broke up this superb fighting force, and its leader died in a suspicious airplane crash.

It seems the Kremlin is always caught off guard and unprepared. This is a certain road to nuclear war. See here.
