Vladimir Putin is playing word games with the rest of the world about what is transpiring in Ukraine. Putin calls the Russian military move on the sovereign nation a “military action.” Umm, no, Vlad. It is nothing less than an invasion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One country’s military machine is moving against another one. The intent is to bring the population of the attacked nation under control of the attackers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

NBC News reports: “Putin is going to seize the entire country,” retired U.S. Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey told NBC News. “This is an air, ground, sea military campaign” and the goal is seizing all of Ukraine “to the Polish border.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Putin is fabricating a scenario he said justifies the Russian invasion. He is lying through his teeth about Ukraine posing some sort of military threat to its gigantic neighboring nation. If there ever was a David vs. Goliath battle occurring, this one is it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Ukraine isn’t totally defenseless, to be sure. However, for the Russian dictator to suggest that Ukraine presents a serious threat to Russia is reprehensible on its face.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He appears to U.S. and allied intelligence officials set to seek a “regime change” in Ukraine. Putin wants a puppet government in Kyiv. There are fears being expressed that Putin might want to capture or even execute Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That’s the act of a “military action?” Hardly. It is the act of a dictator who leads an invading nation that seeks to overthrow a duly seated sovereign head of state.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The blathering of a tinhorn strongman cannot be allowed to stand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
