A-10: World's First and Foremost DEFENSIVE warplane, along with other jets, Advanced Air and Missile Defense and Humanitarian Relief can help save Ukraine!
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees from us - we promised to assist them if they came under nuclear attack or threat
Putin has clearly threatened Ukraine and the West with nuclear "consequences"
While creating understandable fear, and caution, those same threats also obligate us to assist Ukraine
It's not just about Ukraine. It's about us, and whether we stand by the commitments we've made
World peace may be at stake. Expansion by conquest must be resisted, peaceful progress encouraged
Our credibility to stop the spread of nuclear weapons will be reduced to nothing if we allow a country that voluntarily gave up its nuclear arsenal to be destroyed after we promised to help them
We must do more to help Ukraine!
Appeasement failed to stop World War II
Weak, half-hearted and unreliable support for Ukraine is a new kind of modern appeasement
Appeasement will fail today just as it did in World War II
To maintain peace, we must do the hard work of resisting dictators now, before it is too late
Air superiority is the key to victory in modern war
Ukraine has survived so far by preventing Russia from achieving air superiority
Russia is building up the resources - just as the Soviet Union did during World War II - and correcting its early mistakes to establish air superiority and conquer Ukraine
Defeatists don't understand or don't want to provide what Ukraine needs to win
Large scale, smart air power support is essential to help Ukraine win
Ukraine has had a long and difficult path to democracy and freedom
In the Maidan Revolution of Dignity in 2013, the Ukrainian people demanded democracy and an end to corruption
Government forces controlled by the corrupt Putin-allied Yanukovych used violence to try and stop the protests, killing at least 68 people
Ukrainians protested, died and are now fighting on the front line of freedom and democracy
How to fight terrorists - whether on the ground or from the sky
Clear, hold, build: protect and rebuild cleared and free areas of Ukraine - and keep them that way
Much more air defense needed to protect Ukraine
Better protect core areas, then rebuild and expand
A-10: the plane that helped win the Cold War
A-10s in Europe helped successfully deter the Soviet Union - an adversary with many more tanks and much more conventional military power than NATO
Today's attacks on Ukrainian language, culture and identity are the latest in a centuries long struggle
The Holodomor man-made famine, and the purges that accompanied it, tried to destroy the will and capacity of the Ukrainian people for independence and self government
Russia has used corruption and other Soviet dictatorship legacies to attack Ukraine
A new generation of Ukrainians is fighting for a better future for their country
