Editor:

I am happy to announce that this letter is now being circulated throughout the entire country of Ukraine and Russia.  Every government, church, bank, university and many other institutions have been emailed. The feedback is overwhelming.  The Ukrainians are ready to defend themselves and the Russians want no part of this war.

This letter is in response to the articles covering the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

As a citizen of and believer in democracy, I applaud the efforts of the Ukrainian people.  Their efforts are similar to what is happening in many other parts of the world.  Believe it or not, one thing that overrides capitalism and political correctness in the United States is the right to have one’s voice heard.  This is the foundation of which our democracy is built on.

The Ukrainian people should continue to defy Vladimir Putin’s powerful armed forces so that Ukrainian democracy can continue to thrive.  It is unfortunate that the United States compromised on one of its most fundamental values in order to protect its economic interests in Eastern Europe; something that happens all too often domestically as well.  It is not the Ukrainian people that are attempting to expand NATO power but rather it is Vladimir Putin who has engaged in intimidation to prevent the will of the people {both Ukrainian and Russian} from being heard.  Why else would he stoop to such underhanded tactics to block various means of communication among the citizens of Ukraine and Russia?  Why is Putin forcing Russia to return to the Cold War utilizing political strong-arm tactics such as violence?  Vladimir Putin, you have had over twenty years to acknowledge Ukraine and have failed them by your own choosing.  The days of your despotic regime are finally coming to an end as it appears the desire for freedom will continue to sweep among the Eastern European nations as well as Russia.

Accordingly, let the call go forth among all citizens of Ukraine that your brothers and sisters of democracy {from all over the world} are with you during every trial and tribulation you may encounter during this crisis.  To the people of Ukraine, the trumpet of freedom beckons you to rise in protest and louden your voice to preserve your sacred heritage, promote your children’s future and obtain the blessings of liberty we all cherish.  Ukraine, the hour of your redemption is at hand.  As you the rightful citizens move forward to reclaim your own country, rise and strike!  In the name of those who were murdered fighting for everyone’s rights, rise and strike!  To push back this evil regime, rise and strike!  Let no one continue to fear this man.  Every Ukrainian must be strong and fight on for their freedom.  Rise and strike!

Vladimir Putin, you little weasel…let Ukraine go!

PLEASE SHARE THIS LETTER WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE TO LIBERATE UKRAINE…
