Ukraine

The US has taken its lumps, and rightfully so, on may occasions when it has meddled in the affairs of other nations. However, this is a case of "meddling" This is a case of intervening on behalf of a country that has asked the US to do so in no uncertain terms to help it fend of an invasion by a neighboring country that is ruled by a psychopath.

The US can and should intervene here. In 1939 when one country ruled by a psychopath invaded a neighboring country it precipitated a war killing 70 million people. Stop Putin here in Ukraine, and like any bully given a bloody nose, he'll think twice before he tries to push around another neighbor. Don't stop him here and he's only encouraged.

Putin should be killed. That's my personal opinion.

I just feel, to get to the essence of this problem, you should explore, in a fundamental way, what is your personal responsibility?

Paying your taxes? Vote? Is that all? For others to make decisions for you? Is that what you've made yourself into?

You are a part of a cooperative. Where does your responsibility begin and end? What part of your involvement in this society, in this government, do you take responsibility for?

The answer is not clear, but the question is worth asking.
