Letter: WW III in Ukraine

Anyone who thinks that we should hold back with our money or weapons in support of Ukraine against the aggressor Russia has not yet understood the real implications. Iran, North Korea, and China supply drones to Russia, Belarus is on the side of Russia, whereas the entire West supports Ukraine – currently 54 countries. If the military threats by Putin cannot be stopped, he will ruthlessly take over Ukraine and crush that country, leading to Holodomor II. Next would be the Baltic countries, Poland, Romania, and then Western Europe. The battles in the Kursk region and the Donetsk Oblast are substitutes for the real conflict pitting Russia against the West altogether. But how do you win a war? Half-baked efforts, often limited through bans on using the weapons directly against Russia, do not achieve the desired effect. The cost for all of us if Ukraine cannot force Putin to withdraw his troops from their territory will be enormous, namely World War III, which is already happening, though without nuclear weapons.
