Sen. Romney: Putin Will Only Be Reasonable When He Fears NATO

Senator Romney discusses the threats we face to democracy. We are at a time when internal division and external pressure are meeting economic prospects for the future. It is the time when Americans should unite to build the 1.) first advanced innovative digital again nation (that includes the benefits of an innovative military, space, data infrastructure, infrastructure, and energy), 2.) walk the talk in our freedoms to maximize human capital (education adjustments, justice reform, best-brightest development regardless of socio-economic status, etc...), 3.) connect politically and economically with the world to reorient ourselves to the center of the supply chains (treaties, values, promotion of democracy, etc...). 

As far as planes to Ukraine go there can be arguments on either side. I agree that flying them into Ukraine might not be our best option but we do have trucks right? Donate the trucks and planes. Let them pick them up and drive them across the boarder 🤷(Its an option to think about, discard, accept, etc...Multiple entry points, different cargos, parts, different routes, assembly points, etc...). There are risks doing something there are risks to doing nothing. What we can say is that Ukraine is an important marker for things to come. 

I support my politicians not exclusively on party lip service or "yes" man-woman status but on their ability to lead. Democrat and Republican leaders are viewed the same in my mind. If you have leadership ability in you then have it and if you don't you should find another occupation. I think Senator Romney has integrity and moral courage (I also think President Biden has a good soul. They are just opinions.). That doesn't mean I agree or disagree with everything he (they) is saying. I'm also not of radical political bent and instead see my nation as one people suffering from the annoying aspect of hyper-politics nipping at our future vitality. (Oh yes I'm still a light right Republican.)
