I completely agree with every word you have written in this post. As a retired US Army Colonel I have been appalled but not surprised by the conduct of the russian criminal regime and armed forces during this entire war, going back to 2014 and before. I have also been profoundly disappointed in the lack of forthright public condemnation of the same from US civilian policy makers and the US Armed Services. We have the means but seemingly not the will to do what we must, and what is right, to bring this war to a successful conclusion for Ukraine and the entire free world. It is not often the case where an opportunity presents to deal with a hostile alliance sequentially rather than collectively and we have that opportunity now. It is fleeting, and failing to act will condemn the present generation to a far more costly war, in life and treasure, that anything that might result from robustly acting to ensure a Ukrainian victory and the complete collapse of putin and his criminal regime. The tribunal necessary to bring justice to the criminals will eclipse in scale those held at the end of World War II. Thank you.
It is a moral outrage that there hasn't been moral outrage from Day 1.
As soon as the fantasy that Putin would go nuclear passed Ukraine should've received support like Nixon gave Israel in 1973, namely empty NATO stockpiles and send the arms to Ukraine.
A moral failure on so many levels going back to Obama and fanned by the isolationists.

Also, we must get rid of the ludicrous ban on Ukraine using Western weapons to strike the bases in Russia where these missiles are launched from.
We must also start ramping up pressure on thises nation such as China, Belerus, Iran which support Russia and enable her to continue the war.
