BREA, California – This is Sir William Shortspeare taking a short break from trying to be funny. The world has suddenly become a far more dangerous place and it’s all due to one psychopath trying to re-create the USSR. If he gets away with it, don’t think he will stop there. He will seize upon the West’s lack of resolve as a weakness to be exploited. We can’t let that happen.
The courage of the Ukrainian armed forces and citizen militias has been extraordinary. If we’re too cowardly to join the fight, the least we can do is supply Ukraine with the weapons they need. That seems to be happening but I bet they will need a lot more. It will never happen, but I would love to see squadrons of American F-22s and F-35s blast every Russian plane out of the sky over Ukraine and then bomb the shit out of their artillery and rocket launchers.
Pray for peace, pray for justice.
P. S. The headline is Ukrainian for “F*ck Putin.”
Thanks for writing this, Sir William.
