How much are you upset about what Putin is doing in Ukraine? How much have you committed to supporting those people who want the same rights as we have? Are you willing to hurt yourself some financially to hurt Putin and maybe help Ukraine’s desperate people? How much do you believe the war in Ukraine is not going to be the end? How much do you think we need to stop it now?

            If you want to get in deeper and as deep as armed conflict with Russian troops, then tell your Senators and Representatives you want the tank busting A-10 Wart Hog jets and munitions given to the Ukrainians. You want Russia’s oil and natural gas exports sanctioned causing your costs to go up. You want secondary sanctions to go against any country buying or selling to Russia including China.

            We need to be prepared to counter Putin’s cyber attacks on our infrastructure. As they disrupt our electricity, fuel supplies and transportation, our cyber people will counter in Russia’s infrastructure. Will Putin go to a greater conflict like nuclear? Nobody knows. Would his military carry out his orders to launch or to attack a NATO country? It is not known.

            People in Russia are starting to protest in the streets and when it grows to tens or hundreds of thousands can he survive? Will his sycophants continue to support him when they see his end or their end written on the wall?

            How much are we willing to do at this time to stop him now?
