If Russia would stop fighting, the war would end today. If Ukraine stopped fighting, there would be no more Ukraine. The possible outcomes could be no more stark.

Time is of the essence in ensuring that Western democracies unite to support Ukraine as America is no longer considered to be the leader of the free world among many who find the alignment between the POTUS and Putin to be appalling.

There is no logic in thinking that Putin will stop at Ukraine. His free neighbors to his west instantly become targets in his quest to get the old USSR back together. This, at a time, when NATO faces the loss of US support.

That is something to think about while adjusting our clocks to daylight saving time. Could the time come that America will regret abandoning friends and allies? If your answer is yes, it may then be too late to turn back the clock.
