We not only WANT Ukraine to survive, we NEED Ukraine to WIN---to DEFEAT Putin.

If you are not moved by the atrocities being visited on these innocent people, realize that it is in your interest as an American that Putin be totally humiliated and swept from power.

Ukrainians are fighting and dying FOR US.

I said, we should be grateful THEY are fighting OUR war! Their valuable service is well worth paying for. Every Russian tank, plane, or troop they destroy is one that we will not have to face in battle.

Putin has spent a great deal of time and money damaging the US and UK democracies. China and Russia aim to shift world power to fascist, autocratic forms of government. Putin is helping the GOP install this kind of government in the US.

Ukraine is standing up to Putin.
