My eternal thanks and gratitude to the people of Ukraine.

Thirty years ago the minions of moscow who enjoyed dominance and actively of oppressed Russia's population had a chance to join counties of the world that value freedom for their citizens more than power and subjugation. No, the tyrant oppressors couldn't do that. People around the world have suffered due to the influence of putin and the inhuman bastards around him. It is time to view them for what they are. Sometimes I think the real answer is to exterminate them like the vermin they are but that's not an acceptable kind of campaign to start.

Through their sacrifices the people of Ukraine have united most of the world against putin the group of human leaches around him.

I do hope putin and his thugs spend their lives in ADX-Florence or some similar place. I regret that the world didn't unite against this political cesspool sooner. I know freedom isn't free but I remember what Churchill said:

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed;
if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly;
you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."


"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves." - William Pitt


"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Daniel Webster
