Ignore history and we are condemned to repeat it in Ukraine
Maine Writer preface: This opinion letter reinforces, in my mind, the reality of calling the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by the Russians, what it is: World War Three. "....condemned to repeat it", i.e., September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland.

Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Belarus, Kazakhstan and now Ukraine. Next, Moldova, the Baltic States, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, maybe even Germany.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is a serial killer and mass murderer. He has to be stopped. If he is not stopped, his ally, Chinese leader Xi Jinping, will see the West’s passive, weak-kneed response as a green light to invade Taiwan.
Where will the U.S. fight? Will the fight be easier later, or now, when Ukrainians are putting up such stiff resistance and insist they could win with air support? I hope our government stops dithering while mass murders of civilians are growing by the day.
President Joe Biden, please send planes. There is, as the Bible says, a time for peace and a time for war.

There is a moral imperative to help Ukraine, and there are plenty of reasons to believe that things will be worse for us if we don’t and Putin succeeds in crushing another country.

This is the time for war.
By the way, I’m a lifelong pacifist who participated in non-violent demonstrations during the 1960s with the Rev. Martin Luther King in Mississippi. If Putin had been in charge, I would be dead. Sometimes, the moral and the practical line up.

P.S. IMO The only way to stop World War Three, is to destroy Vladimir Putin.
