Missile systems for Ukraine may kill more Ukrainians than Russians

Uncle Sam continues to ingest stupid pills in his lust to isolate and degrade Russia over their war in Ukraine.

Thousands of sanctions and $54 billion in weaponry are not getting the job done. It’s just getting more Ukrainians killed for nothing, when negotiations and diplomacy could have ended the war early on.

A hundred plus days of U.S. failure in Ukraine has not deterred our obsession with weaponry over diplomacy. We’re now contemplating sending our High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) with a range of 50 miles that could hit targets in Russia. Not to worry. President Biden will only send them if Ukraine President Zelensky promises not to fire them into Russia. What’s the penalty if he does…Double Secret Probation?

Russia’s war demonstrates Russia does not bluff when it comes to protecting its perceived existential national security interests. It may be criminal, just as every failed U.S. initiated or joined war this century was criminal.

Yesterday, Russia fired missiles into Ukrainian capital Kiev to destroy U.S. made tanks. Missile systems that could target Russia will almost certainly bring a more robust Russian response killing only Ukrainians, not the missile systems makers.

After a hundred days both the U.S. media and populous has largely moved on from Ukraine to more immediate concerns such as mass shootings degrading machine gun nation.

That’s unfortunate because U.S. abrogating its responsibility to use diplomacy instead of endless weapons will simply get more Ukrainians killed…and possibly blow up the whole world as well.
