I'm all for this, believe me, and I have already donated to United24. But there is another issue here, and it concerns the very belated and inadequate response of the West to Ukraine's pleas for air defense systems. You may recall that in the early days of the war, Poland offered Ukraine their MiG-29 fighters but the US vetoed that, ensuring that Ukraine would never achieve air superiority over the Muscovites. The present situation is part of the same story: we have been giving them anti-air weaponry so slowly and in such small numbers that the aggressors have been able to disable large portions of the Ukrainian infrastructure.

So I would suggest that in addition to donating to United24, we press our leaders in Congress and the White House (or as appropriate in other countries) to provide Ukraine with state of the art anti-air systems and provide those systems in quantity, NOW!!

I cannot run, but I can donate. And I will, gladly.
