I write these words with a heavy heart, watching on television and social media the destruction of Ukraine at the hands of an evil Russian regime. My heart goes out to the Ukrainians in their valiant and defiant battle against the invaders who now look to pound the country into submission with artillery and cruise missiles.

Putin is more likely to be eliminated by his own inner circle. And that may very well be what finally puts an end to this.
A copy of my email to the Kyiv Post, a still-functioning news paper in Ukraine: Hallo Kyiv Post. We are a mixed English/German family living in Spain. My wife is from the ex-DDR/GDR, I served in the British military during the cold war. We wish to apologise to the Ukrainian people for the behaviour and cowardice of all our west European governments and their politicians, for their ignorance and neglect, and for their hypocrisy in pretending to help a free European nation being destroyed by a modern Hitler, right on their doorsteps. We, and our friends here are disgusted with those we voted for. We must show the dictator that he has gone too far, and actively go to the aid of the Ukrainian people, before it is too late. The Germans sent you a store of old cold war East German weapons – very useful against overwhelming numbers of soldiers armed with modern weapons. The British are doing nothing except talking about commercial embargos, freezing Russian capital etc., America is doing absolutely nothing effective. NATO is keeping a very low profile. We are ashamed. When Adolf Putin has destroyed your country, we do not believe he will stop – sooner or later he will force us to defend ourselves, more than likely sooner. He has a lot of personnel, but you have shown us that the situation is similar to that during the cold war – he has a very large army, but the majority of his soldiers are to a great extent almost schoolboys, ignorant, badly trained, and with absolutely no motivation except fear of their superiors. Driven by fear but being devastated by, in comparison, a handful of motivated and very brave reservists brought up in a peaceful country. The thoughts and hope of every peace-loving West-European are with you. We are with you, Ukraine. All the best, Roy & Claudia Mallorca
To stop Putin now is to have him assassinated. I would like a team of SAS or SBS sent to remove this mad man from the face of the Earth. With the warning that the same fate will be applied to his Generals. Russia and its people are now outcasted from the world. Unless they take it upon themselves to kill Putin. Their futures will be put in permanent jeopardy. Russia will be illiminated from Society.
