My children are older than your son.

Having been born in the Soviet Union, it so happens I understand Russian, although that is not my native language. Me knowing that language is a consequence of Russian occupation that my nation went through. I can also read Ukrainian, but to a lesser extent. I am saying this to explain that I can and do consume primary sources on what’s going on in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus. Your assessment that Ukraine is ‘worse’ can only be a result of some type of propaganda that you have been exposed to. Because if you would have gathered information from primary sources for the past decade, you would know that this is simply not true.

I don’t ask for Americans to send troops to Ukraine. Not least because that would provoke a direct confrontation with NATO, which would pull my country directly into the conflict, and part of the frontline would be situated directly in it. The fact of the matter is though, that Ukrainians have nowhere to go. The beast has come to their house, the fight is on their soil. Where are they supposed to flee to?

All I’m saying is, while they are fighting, they should get everything needed to defend themselves. Because if they stop fighting, and Ukraine stops existing as it gets subsumed by the beast, that will just embolden it. And less than a decade from now, there will be an attack on a NATO country, and that’s when you’ll end up sending Americans to again die in faraway places. That’s the path we’re on of Russia doesn’t suffer a decisive defeat resulting in the collapse of Putin’s regime.
