How dare they? Right…? I mean can’t they take time in between them burying their women and children, the ones that weren’t kidnapped, and their soldiers to thank us for them fighting a war that was eventually going to happen to a NATO nation if they had just laid down and did nothing. The one thing that is definitely going to be an outcome of this debacle is the Russia is going to realize that they have no chance of winning any land war or incursion in a NATO nation and that’s because Ukraine punched back. While Ukraine should be thankful, I think that we should be just as thankful that they are fighting a NATO war…. I think the least we can do is make sure that are properly equipped, that should include long range missiles. If NATO wants a quick end to this incursion, it has to get a backbone and let Russia know that any threat of nuclear deterrence by them would be met with the full force of NATO making Moscow the world’s largest crater within minutes and NATO should be giving Ukraine the ability to strike deep in Russia if they want… without asking what Ukraine is going to do with those long range ballistic weapons so they could plead ignorance. Ukraine cannot win swiftly if Moscow is still enjoying their lattes. They have to give Russia a reason to quit and fighting in Ukraine alone won’t do the trick. As for the thanks being requested, I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians are busy now and will thank us properly with a plaque of participation later.
