of grave importance. I also trust the Ukrainians with the equipment. Sink all the Russian ships; take out the Sevastopol port, and pound Crimea.

The UN has already taken note that a whole lot of the world will physically, not just monetarily, face starvation and food shortages if this nonsense by Russia is not ended. I want Ukraine to prevail in everyway possible, and I want them armed to the teeth to deal with the Russian navy. They have an absolute right to protect Odesa, and the Russian ships and subs have got to be neutralized.

Russia will not suddenly change its tactics. It is successful because it is willing to bomb entire cities to the ground, killing noncombatants indiscriminately and without remorse. THAT'S what it will do to Odesa if allowed. So, ship those anti-ship missiles pronto.
