FREEDOM VS. TYRANNY: The BATTLE for UKRAINE

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign, independent nation has shocked the world and rallied free democratic societies against Putin’s Russia. The United States with NATO has provided billions of dollars in aid and military equipment to the Ukrainians. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shown immense courage and strong will to fight for the Ukrainian people in order to remain a free democratic nation. Putin’s obsession with Russian expansionism attempting to bring some new glory to Russia in the 21st century has completely failed with Russian military casualties mounting in the thousands. Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine will go down in history as one of the biggest blunders in this century. The Ukrainian military is well trained and has inflicted serious damage to the Russian invaders. Putin has underestimated the will of the Ukrainians to fight for their independence to the end. The battle for Ukraine is simply the battle of freedom vs. oppression and most people would rather live free or die fighting for their freedoms. Putin is now a coward and war criminal using his military to kill innocent civilians in their homes to instill fear in their hearts and minds. This tactic will not work since Ukrainians have been an independent people for over thirty years since the fall of the USSR and do not want to be under the Russian umbrella again. The upcoming months and years will be extremely difficult for Ukrainians living under siege and seeing family and friends murdered by this ruthless tyrant. The Ukrainians will prevail with the help of the West while stopping Putin’s ambition in the region. Putin’s collapse will happen swiftly with Russians having a real opportunity at free and legitimate elections of their leaders. This has been a colossal error in judgement and will cost Putin everything.
