The world is becoming more complicated every day and it just got a log worse. Russia’s Putin and China’s Xi have openly met and promised to keep the West from interfering in their affairs. Both countries are planning to use force to take control of another country. Putin has over a hundred thousand troops and equipment just over the border from the Ukraine. Xi is threatening to invade Taiwan.

            Why should we care about either country? Why should we lose an American life over the independence of either country? Is our national reputation and promises worth supporting them when they are in danger or are we only an ally when there is no danger? We, as a nation, need to make that decision in the next few weeks. The choice is to be a paper tiger or an active friend and ally.

            The decisions must be made soon because I think both invasions are being planned to occur together. Putin wants to keep NATO out of it by cutting off their natural gas for heating their homes, so he needs to act while it is cold. Xi needs to act while we are so dependent on Taiwan’s chip factories. Without those chips, our economy could implode. Once they get control of or destroy those factories they can control our policies and economy.             Don’t be guided by Russian or Chinese lies and misinformation any more. Get off the internet and look at a world globe using the brain you have and not what Xi and Putin tell you to think! Quit believing the Big Lies!
