We Need Real Leadership to Help Ukraine
Ronald Gipper Reagan
Joe Biden's weak leadership on the international stage has led to an enormous international crisis. Not only is he inept, but we need to speak plainly and call him out for what he really is; a disgrace. Biden is complicit in the despicable crimes being committed against the Ukrainian people by his lack of action. The United States of America has the military and political power to have already put an end to this, yet he has chosen to do the bare minimum, and as a result, thousands of people are needlessly dying, and mass destruction is being brought to a great and historic nation.
It is made all the more worse when you consider this man has no consistent policies rooted in any sort of logic. He was the senate sponsor of the failed Kosovo resolution, which still led to the Clinton Administration committing war crimes against the Serbian people, and murdering hundreds of civilians in the process. He passionately insisted that he was in favor of bombing Belgrade, yet is too afraid to confront Vladimir Putin, who is mercilessly bombarding the innocent people of Ukraine. This sort of double standard is unfitting of an American President, and the world is in great peril to have such a man as the de facto leader of the free world.
We must ask the question as to why it is okay to ignore the United States Congress in its refusal to endorse a military campaign against Yugoslavia, but when there is a wide-ranging outcry across the political spectrum to take more action in defense of Ukraine, he remains on the sidelines. The American people have always been willing to step up and sacrifice in defense of freedom and for a just cause and righteous intent. This is one of those moments in history.
This was the same supposed leader who made a campaign promise to hold the Saudi Crown Prince accountable for the murder of a journalist, which he then shamelessly broke. His rushed, disorganized, and cowardly surrender of Afghanistan to a terrorist organization we had battled for two decades led to the deaths of 13 American service members, countless friends and allies left behind to be persecuted or hunted down, and showed that the word and commitment of the United States means little in today's world. Now we stand by as a nation which values and yearns for freedom faces a new evil, and do relatively little.
While there is near universal consensus on strong sanctions against Russia, and supplying the Ukrainians with whatever aid is required, this needlessly prolongs bloodshed, and raises the real risk that an irrational and frustrated Putin could use chemical, biological, or even nuclear weapons. How many more people have to die before America does what it has done so many times throughout history, and stands strong as a shield of liberty against evil in the world?
In another sign of cowardice, the Biden administration shot down a Polish proposal to give Ukraine much needed fighter jets, for fear yet again, of upsetting Putin, and that it could be viewed as “escalatory” in nature. All one has to do is look at the ruins of what was once the city of Mariupol, the schools, hospitals, and shelters with innocents in them that by all accounts have been intentionally targeted, and ask, have things not already escalated to an unacceptable level?
The millions of people forced to flee their homes, the great cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv and so many other places being attacked relentlessly, and the brave Ukrainian defenders holding them at bay deserve more from us. Real people are dying every day in Ukraine. A theater was bombed with CHILDREN labeled in giant letters in Russian to be read from the sky, killing hundreds by one strike alone. A lot of good people have been murdered, and I am sickened beyond words by it. Some even try to dismiss incidents like this, and listen to propaganda and outright lies. Where is your humanity?
There are even people who are openly supporting the actions of the Russian government, ignoring the reality of what is going on. In 2014, Russia marched in and stole Crimea, a sovereign part of Ukraine. They then funded and armed separatists in the Donbas leading to all these years of war, and they blame the Ukrainians for genocide? A war of their creation, which has led to many military and civilian deaths. They then launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine(despite lying about having no intention of doing so), which is killing tens of thousands of more people on both sides. It is as clear as day that they are intentionally targeting civilians, and at the very least not really caring what they hit as long as it terrorizes the population in to submission. How can you defend this?
Highlighting the extraordinary gravity of this situation, the President of Poland Andrzej Duda recently said-
“My countrymen, Poles, are looking today at Mariupol and are saying, ‘God’ — they say it with tears in their eyes — ‘Mariupol looks like Warsaw did in 1944 when Nazis, Hitler’s Germans, were brutally bombing houses, killing people, killing civilians with no mercy at all.”
I don't believe that the current leader of the United States, and by extension, the “free” world really understands or actually cares for the suffering these people are going through. The soldiers of Ukraine are some of the bravest in the world. The courage of their armed forces and people are an inspiration. They deserve more from us. We have allowed a KGB butcher and his cronies to get away with far more than we needed to. Some are too scared to call for regime change. The only hope for Russia is with the removal one way or another of this thug. Stop letting him send your sons to die by the thousands for an unjust war, and to murder your Ukrainian brothers and sisters. This will lead to generations of hatred between neighbors. And now 400,000 Ukrainians have been taken as hostages against their will into Russia.
The question is when and how this will end. To me there will be no justice without Putin and everyone involved with committing these war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine being held to account. I would confiscate every last penny from Putin and these oligarchs and give it to the people of Ukraine as reparations. We need American and other allied planes in the skies of Ukraine, and we need boots on the ground. You don't tell your enemy under no circumstances will you send troops in, but that's exactly what this fool we call a President has done. It's easy to talk a big game when you're safe away from a war zone, and don't have to risk your life on a daily basis, or run to a shelter as these invaders attack virtually indiscriminately. These people needed more help weeks ago, and yet we still don't take the action needed to defeat this enemy of basic humanity itself. I am ashamed at the cowardice of the American government today, and this sorry excuse for leadership.
This is not a matter of liberal or conservative, left or right, hawk or dove. It is time we do what is right. The world still waits on the United States to lead. If we stand up against the murderous despotism of Putin's regime by whatever means are necessary to end it as soon as possible, then Americans can once again call themselves as deserving of being the greatest nation on earth. The stakes are incredibly high, and we must face this challenge with valor and boldness, not with meekness and uncertainty. We need real leadership to be shown now.

Why don’t you go ask some of the Ukrainians on here who are seeing it happen firsthand?
Some of the Ukrainians whose nickname is Bandera here, according to the Nazi Stepan Bandera?
Or some from here who founded a Nazi unit in the game - the 14th Division of the SS (1st Galician)? It has existed for a long time and numbered 30-40 Ukrainian players.
The administrator has ordered a name change.
Also, the 3rd Party in Ukraine was formerly called the 14th Division, and is now renamed the Ukrainian Division.
You have no basic knowledge, a classic dumb American.

More propaganda to god of prodaganda. Chem labs, nazi etc. So soldiers under bombing and siege torture civilians, bombing themself in hospitals and keep fighting russians?
And also FYI you know how much support right sector got on elections? Around 2% . Even if they were nazi, which they don't, they didn't get support from people. Russia oriented parties had much more support but no one cares.
Alleged WAR CRIMES:
US Navy veteran Patrick Lancaster, embedded with Russian army depicts abandoned AZOV NAZI military base in Ukrainian Mariupol SCHOOL & the corpse of a TORTURED FEMALE, with a NAZI hooked-cross carved in BLOOD on her body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LQSYmda0Sc let someone convince me that this is just propaganda. damn killers given a weapon by the west - why? to abuse and kill civilians and prisoners of war ?! https://twitter.com/i/status/1508009744602128390
It’s impossible to trust any of these videos. some people were posting maybe it was you I don’t know, showing someone being allegedly crucified, and apparently this video dates back to at least 2015 and it’s impossible to see almost everything in it. And they were claiming it just happened. And was real.
I don’t see any of your posts being outraged about the thousands upon thousands of civilians being killed because of Russian attacks? Something we have indisputable proof of
Well, check Wagner Group, Dmitry Utkin does not hide his SS tattoo and is good buddy with Putin. Only brainwashed support Vladolf Putler...
@Ronald how do you selectively accept information, can you tell me which newspaper you trust? Are you going to tell me that the video of the prisoners being shot in the legs is fake? or that bound people were thieves and Russian spies? young boys, girls, gypsies were also seen there. Not everyone, as far as I can see in the footage, was in places where there are fights because I see a lot of people around, they also carry bags ....
Maybe some of these things are true, I don’t know, but you’re focusing on that as opposed to the other side which is committing far more war crimes and killing far more people. So why don’t you care about that? Yet your sympathy is with the invaders?
@Ronald just tell me which newspaper do you trust? cnn, bbc, fox ...
Ukrainian Nationalist Volunteers Commit ISIS-Style Crimes"This is the headline of a 2014 American Newsweek article. An article about how the Nazis from "Azov"tortured the workers of the Mariupol port.West,can you stop pretending?You know very well WHO the Russian army is fighting https://prnt.sc/j9ryaRBAnEhr
You’re looking for any possibility of any sort of war crime or offense from the Ukrainians. I haven’t seen any outrage from you over the clear and obvious immense war crimes from the Russian side. In a war there’s inevitably going to be some things done by everyone, but the sheer scale is not comparable at all. You’re talking about entire cities being destroyed, civilians being targeted, completely innocent bystanders being killed to cause terror, people being deported and being held hostage. You don’t seem upset about this at all.
Western media before the war started. https://prnt.sc/AyGLvM9L8YWf or NBC news that made a short video about Ukraine's Hyper-Nationalist Military Summer Camp for Kidshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpV16BQfbrQ
Dude,
There are people in this game who are in cities being shelled by Russia. I assure you they are not Nazis. Why don’t you talk to the people who are actually there?
in every war, civilians suffer the most. I think a lot about all this, about the media in general and how they affect people. when the USA or NATO conducts military interventions in the world, through the media you have information from your media (only) and you are told that there are monsters, murderers, that they want to make a nuclear bomb .... there are never reports from the other side or they all call it fake. for the attack on Libya, you were told that Gaddafi kills people like that, tortures like in the Middle Ages .... (... I lived there as a child for some 3-4 years and I have beautiful memories). Muammar al-Gaddafi, from Libya, which was one of the poorest countries, created a nation with the highest standard in Africa. Since the Libyan revolution began, most of the Western media have portrayed Gaddafi as a criminal and dictator who oppresses his own people.
Today, we know that not everything was exactly as the Western media machine portrayed it, and that some of the achievements of Gaddafi's rule were kept silent all the time. Did you know that he lived in a tent? that until every Libyan gets a house, neither will his family. As for Saddam, they told you that he was assembling nuclear weapons and that he would attack you. nothing was ever found. They told you about Yugoslavia that we are butchers and that we are killing Albanians and who knows what else. They bombed the state television station with all its employees. And statements and reports on the other hand have always been called false propaganda. Do you know how much money was blocked (seized) in the banks and who later appropriated that money? or where did he go?
The war in Ukraine started. all Russian media are blocked, banned ... reports and videos that can be seen on a small number of social networks, which carry reports from the other side, are again immediately called fake. you say that all the reports about the Azov battalion, the right sector are just lies and extortion. you say that the USA has nothing to do with biolabs and what was done there and that all the reports are forgeries. you had official reports and recordings from some media, Ukrainian official sites about the bombing of housing that later turned out to be fake. And you are still not trying to accept reports from the other side, at least 10%, or to think about it. Inflation, oil, food ... your prices have started to rise, so is it possible that you all depend so much on Russia? What if, in the end, it turns out that your authorities are behind a lot of that and that Zelensky is just an actor and a puppet who drew the Ukrainian people into this conflict?
I understand, you will say that there are many "ifs" and that none of that is possible.
look at the prices have started to rise, fuel, food, industry is already feeling the consequences, inflation ... is it possible that you depend so much on Russia? At the NATO summit in Brussels, US President Joe Biden announced that the United States would send weapons and other security and defense equipment worth one billion US dollars to Ukraine. Billion US dollars for WEAPONS!
And not only you, but weapons are being delivered from almost all NATO members. Why all this? Defend Ukraine? or the weakening of Russia and, of course, the increased production of new weapons, in order for Congress / Senate / Assembly / Parliament to approve higher monetary expenditures for the purchase of new weapons. and from whom? so at least 80% from the USA.
when I look at it all like that, the ban of the Russian media, who would benefit the most when this is over and the people who have been suffering for years in those areas .... not just for a month, my finger is pointing to the west as the biggest culprit in all this Ukrainian civilian casualties (on both sides) as "collateral damage" that you are willing to bear for the sake of "higher" (your) interests. I do not mean every inhabitant in general, but your authorities.
Yes, through another game I corresponded with a man from Kiev, Horiv was his name (or just nick - we didn't discuss it) and before the conflict broke out I asked him about the Azov clan (that's what he called them). The clan is not a battalion or army .. .he said he was not very proud of what and how they did and how they behaved. He did not believe that Russia would attack. The second day after the outbreak of the conflict, he only sent a message that he was not up to the game and that he would not respond until this was over. My other source of information is a Serb, a volunteer since 2014, who has been fighting on the side of the DNR and has been reporting on events there ever since. There I see the same destruction, I see the stories of people - civilians who have been living in basements for years .... about their victims and suffering by Ukraine and those "armies" (Azov, the real sector ...) I may be wrong, I may be enraptured, but for now I am convinced that the West is largely behind all this.
Of course, I note again that I feel sorry for the killed civilians and the suffering they are going through, but I am still convinced that surrendering Ukraine instead of arming civilians would result in much fewer casualties and much less destruction of infrastructure and the entire economy. The consequences are yet to be felt. Ukraine is one of the largest producers of grain and exporters worldwide. now it was necessary to sow there, and it will not be like this, not even close to the needs of the whole world. the consequences of all this are yet to be felt. May eternal glory be to all the innocent victims on both sides, may God grant them peace and the kingdom of heaven
Who launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine? RUSSIA. No one forced Putin and co. to do that. So don't try to pass the blame on to ANYONE else. He waged war against the Ukrainian PEOPLE. I never defended Azov, but all some people do is talk about them. They're a small fragment in the grand scheme. The bio-weapon nonsense is propaganda manufactured by Russia. Just look at all the stuff they say and Putin say, and it's usually the opposite. Remember how they insisted they weren't planning to invade? Oh yeah, LIED. Why were you living in Libya? As for that other stuff, these are questions to debate about history. This is happening NOW, and I'm not going to play this game where the blame gets put on anyone else but the person/people who actually started this current madness. It's Russia who first sent in their military in secret and denied it was them, big surprise, to Crimea, and then they supported these "rebels" in Donetsk/Luhansk. I wouldn't trust any state propped up by Putin. Look at his ally in Chechnya. By all accounts this man is a BRUTAL leader who personally participates in the torture of his political enemies. Look at the way he talks. He's a sicko, and this is who Putin puts in charge? I guess so Chechens forget about what his government did against them.
Why should Ukraine surrender their country? It's horrifying to see what is happening, but it is the INVADERS who should be surrendering. They are the ones losing. When you have seven dead generals and lots of other significant officers eliminated in a matter of a month, you're clearly doing pretty bad.
I once considered becoming a US military officer, but because of all the SJW and left-wing BS they pushed on our armed forces, glad I didn't, BUT if I actually had the training and experience, I would be tempted to go and help them directly. I don't have that experience, and I am not interested in dying after 3 days of training, but I think it would be a worthwhile cause. I don't think I'd be willing to risk my life to die for ungrateful people in Afghanistan by comparison.
At any rate, Putin and co. have sent young Russian men to die for an unjust cause(and Russia is a dying country like many other nations these days) at the expense of many Ukrainians, a lot of whom were not even fighting being killed as a result. Maybe Putin saw himself as a modern-day czar. Peter the Great's name goes down in history pretty admirably even if he could be a bit brutal at times. Putin's name will go down far different... I am sure.
You see, we don't agree at the beginning. you trust your authority and what the media under their control tells you. I'm sorry, but I don't believe anyone who is guilty of bombing Yugoslavia and who voted for the attack on Iraq - responsible for the deaths of thousands of civilians. I don't believe they didn't get involved in what they now call fabrications. I don't trust the western media as long as the story is banned on the other side as well. we all know that foreign intelligence services also took part in the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the USSR ... that's how you made yourself an enemy in the eyes of the Russians. I myself felt a "merciful angel" and I can't believe everything the media from that side tells me. you only send weapons to civilians, because there are few trained armies left and they are surrounded, so your weapons will not only fall into the hands of soldiers, but mostly civilians. I do not agree with such actions of the West. Civilians are dying on both sides. And your grenades and rockets hit civilians too ...
So he does but who'd give you one?
Hey Ronald Reagan, we aren't in the 1980's any more... your feverish nukes dreaks aren't needed.
Well, one Reagan would be much better as Obama, Trump or Biden

We really appreciate any help to Ukraine. Even a kind words matters.
But we want to finish with bloody russian imperialism asap. Every day of war means more deaths, more pain, more suffering. We want our allies to stand beside us so we can kill the beast faster.
that's why this war needs to end yesterday, prolonging it just means pointless deaths, pain and ruins
you need to surrender. so only you can save civilians and destruction. The West will not send its soldiers to die - I guess that is clear to you. It sounds scary, but it's better than giving weapons to civilians
I can't remember any people that surrendered to russia and avoided mass slaughter of civilians, robbery and destruction. Only after Ukraine surrender will the ethnic cleansing begin. No ukrainian man or woman can be safe under moscow's occupation. And the history of my people is the best proof for this.
Yes, surrender. And when Russia restricts the teaching of Ukrainian, as they've done in Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk, surrender. When Russia destroys your free media, surrender. When they lock up opposition parties, surrender. When they loot your country with their corrupt ways, surrender. And when they turn their loving attention to the Baltics, the Baltics should surrender. And then will come Poland's turn to surrender.
The easiest way to stop this is USA surrendering to Russia.. 🙂
So you are saying that civilians deaths in OTAN bombing on Serbia was becouse you didn't sourrended the first day?

Yes, we need the kind of leadership Ronald Reagan displayed when Russia -- errr, the Soviet Union -- used chemical weapons against the Afghans during their Afghanistan occupation. Oh wait, Reagan did nothing about it.
These situations are difficult. There are no easy choices. Unless you're sitting behind your keyboard running your ignorant mouth in between stalking victims.
uhhh .... ohhh ... so much said but like you didn't say anything.
-As for Kosovo, why was it done: half of the EU bombed Serbia together in 1999, and many of them later opened businesses there. That's why they did it!
-In 2014, Ukraine changed its government with demonstrations and murders - not a peaceful protest! After the establishment of the new government, Crimean local authorities reacted quickly, first appointing a new local government president on February 27 and scheduling a referendum on Crimea's status for May 25. At that time, out of 110 members of the assembly, 78 voted FOR and 6 abstained.Soon, on March 6, they moved the date of the referendum to March 16, and on March 11, the local assembly of Crimea declared independence from Kiev and announced that the future depended on the decision in the referendum on joining the Russian Federation. In the declaration, they referred to the case before the UN International Court of Justice on the Kosovo case of June 22, 2010, that the unilateral declaration of independence does not violate any international act. The Sevastopol City Council, which is a formally separate unit from Crimea, made identical decisions on March 6th.
The referendum question was:
*Are you in favor of the unification of Crimea with the Russian Federation in the status of a subject of the federation?
*Are you in favor of establishing the 1992 constitution and the status of Crimea as part of Ukraine?
There were 1,534,815 voters in Crimea and 309,774 in Sevastopol. The chairman of the Commission for the preparation of the referendum was Mikhail Malishev. 69 international observers from 13 countries reported following the referendum.
According to preliminary results published after the referendum, the majority of voters (turnout was 83.1😵, 1,233,002 or 96.77% voted for secession from Ukraine and annexation to Russia.
-What do you really want?
- for the USA to attack Russia?
-What if the information is correct that the CIA, Hunter Biden and companies from the USA are financing those biolaboratories in Ukraine?
Do you want to sent more weapons ? -To whom? Bandits who hide behind civilians, who tie people to poles, shoot prisoners of war and various other atrocities?
If you promote such a view of the world, then take a gun and shoot yourself in the head!
If you still want to change something, take to the streets - TO PROTEST AGAINST SUCH GOVERNMENT
The West has dragged Ukraine into all this, you are pushing weapons to civilians and who knows how they will behave in battle. It's a war - it's not a video game, it's psychologically very difficult for a trained soldier and not for a civilian.
people die there every day, on both sides. Russia wins, and whether it will be in 5 or 25 days ... the sooner Ukraine surrenders, the better it will be if they want to save civilians. The West does not want to send an army - the EU does not want, the USA only to attack alone, but you must not do that either because you know what it is leading to. and you would die there too - Americans
Oh, yes, totally legitimate poll. 96.77%? That's even better than Lukashenko's election. What an achievement.
No, I want Russia out of Ukraine, and for war criminals to be brought to justice.
Some of the things you mention are conspiracy theories with no actual evidence.
I talk of the suffering of real people, and you skip over all that.
I'm sorry you see this the way you do. It's unfortunate.
and I want the USA to care only about its borders !! if you supply people like this with weapons https://twitter.com/i/status/1508009744602128390 then you are also involved in crime
Your brain is a CONSPIRACY THEORY because you only believe what official diplomacy has to say. So they tell you the following: in 1999, NATO bombed Yugoslavia, took away its territory from Kosovo according to the UN International Court of Justice on the case of Kosovo on June 22, 2010.
and that's fine because we know it's so and we're just telling you (that's how the bombing was explained to you)
you blame your president for it, and at the same time you ask him what? more weapons for Ukraine? Well, you should demand that he be removed and tried for crimes against Yugoslavia! I don't understand - are you asking a criminal to do something?!? and will you ask him to be tried when this with Ukraine is over or you will forget
Have you cried for the murdered children in Iraq, Libya, Syria ... or do you just feel sorry for these because they are fair skinned? You Americans all need to take to the streets and overthrow your regime first, your Congress ... to the ground
I feel sorry for you too, and you got really pissed off while sitting at the computer and eating your burger and drinking coke.
Oh how difficult this world is

That is highly possible since Ukrainians and other non Russians boycotted the polls since they knew they never had a chance in winning it due to the higher native Russian population.
Either way the polls they had in Crimea are more fair than the Maidan ones in Kyiv since only one of those side banned the opposition.
Dumb Murica xDDD
