Ukrainian lives are being wasted every day while we use them as political pawns. Ukrainian resources are running out while we sit on stockpiles of the equipment and supplies they need to survive.

We didn’t build 80,000 M113 armored personnel carriers during the Cold War to let them rot in a California desert.

We didn’t manufacture hundreds of Patriot missile batteries and thousands of missiles because we liked how the smoke from a launch looked against a European sunset.

Either save the Ukrainian people or abandon them to their fate behind the new Iron Curtain. Toying with them like our politicians have been is cruel.
