and Europe faces another moment as it did with Hitler with the Anschluss and Sudetenland. Stop Putin now or face nuclear blackmail etc later.

If Putin invades a NATO country then he will be stopped.

This is why Putin demands Ukraine not be allowed in NATO. Because if it were, he couldn't set foot in it.

That's a bit out there. All of Europe is not going to fall.

He has great acting skills from his former career, but he needs to remember he's in a position of leadership now.

If we do not have the courage to save Ukraine, we do not have the courage to save Europe.

However, he cannot be correct.

Even if Ukraine does fall to Putin, it will be temporary. The entire continent of Europe will never fall to Putin. Never. Putin couldn't sustain the large aggression drive and he doesn't have enough soldiers or military materiel (tanks and planes) to overrun the entire continent.

If Ukraine does fall, we'll (NATO allies) go in and win it back.
