The Skill and the Will

Where are our young people now
  Why are they not storming the gates
Perhaps they are being taught that
  Ukraine's fight is not linked to their fate

Where are the defenders of freedom
  Why are they not storming the gates
Perhaps they think their blood is redder
  that Ukrainians' lives don’t matter… 

Tens of millions should be marching on Washington
  demanding to arm Ukraine with more missiles and guns
Ukraine has the skill and the will to defeat Russia and Putin
  ~ Just give Zelenskyy* what he needs; his men will do all the shootin’

              Stop Russia now; help keep Ukraine free
        Don't let Putin, allied with Xi, start World War Three


_________________________________________________________
*Volodomyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, who has been lobbying for
  more armaments from the US for over a month now.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/11/2022 8:31:00 AM World War Three has commenced, and why? How? It is sad! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/11/2022 9:54:00 AM Well, I think that if Ukraine and the West can limit the conflict to Ukraine -- by stopping Putin there -- WWIII won't happen. But if Ukraine falls, then China will be emboldened to take Taiwan, and Putin will be emboldened to restore the old Soviet empire, and there we go... Why? -- Because the West relaxed. Freedom requires vigilance!! ... Oh, well. I'm just an old guy who can't influence anything... Thanks, Caren.

I think that young people won't respond unless and until it affects them directly; 90% couldn't find Ukraine on a map to save their lives... like most of us, I guess... At any rate, yes, let's pray, for sure. Thank you so much, Kim. :) gw

Valsa George Date: 4/10/2022 8:26:00 PM World War III is not the solution ..... ! Such a move will only endanger the whole well being of humanity . Unfortunately no viable solutions are in view.... ! May God intervene ! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/11/2022 9:37:00 AM Well, WWII eliminated Adolf Hitler, the most evil man on the planet then, (although Stalin was a very close second). Hitler, of course, orchestrated the cremation factories at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, etc. where 12 million were cremated (6 million Jews and assorted other 'non-Aryans.'). Now it is the world's turn to eliminate Mr. Putin, the current face of evil, who has murdered tens of thousands already (in Crimea in 2014, Syria in 2015, and now in Ukraine). So, wars sometimes are necessary, I submit. Solution: Stop Putin in Ukraine, before he gains momentum! ~ Gershon
