It appears finally that the West is going to get off the dime and send Ukraine the heavy weapons it needs to defeat the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin has responded by using his flying monkeys to send a message to the West that if Russia loses, the result will be nuclear war. There's just one problem. Putin's Russia has shown what it will do to all those whom it conquers by its treatment of Ukrainians in Russian-occupied territory. By the pronouncements of not only Putin, but of fascist thugs like Aleksandr Dugin, Russia has shown what it wants to do to the entire world. If Russia is allowed to win, Russia will turn the entire world into the toilet bowl of Russia. That is unacceptable. Given a choice between this option and nuclear war, frankly, I'd rather take my chances on nuclear war. I do not say this lightly. Because of my moral stance, I would much rather see a nonviolent solution, especially if that nonviolent solution was achieved through the coercive use of nonviolent economic power to destroy Russia's ability to make war. But allowing Russia to have its way is not an option. Russian power must be destroyed. And those in the West who continue to make excuses for Russia or to play telephone tag for Russia or to be sock puppets for Russia must learn to shut their mouths.
The West must stop allowing its fight against Russian imperialism to be dictated by the rules the Russians seek to impose on us. In other words, we must do whatever it takes to destroy Russian imperialism. Whatever it takes.
