We are aiming at peace ! But if someone comes toward you with a knife ready to stab you and you have a stick to stop him, you may have no time to reason with him or you may have already attempted that. Now you face the knife, and if your child and wife are nearby, will you run? And if you have a neighbor nearby seeing this happen will the neighbor examine your life and all that you have done? Or will he see the situation happening and attempt to save you and your family from the knife? This is the situation we have with Russia and Ukraine today. And when I’ve seen a friend in trouble because of a bully I have not yet run 🏃♂️ away from the trouble.
By the way I did watch some of your video. When I came to the part that the Russians are in ‘alliance’ with conservatives in our nation (U.S. for Eric and I) i had to stop watching it. Please read below you will see that contrary to the opinions of the Alex Jones video you provided … there are an abundance of conservative who want more military help to go to Ukraine 🇺🇦 not less as your video would have us believe.

Despite some reports that conservatives in the United States favor abandoning Ukraine, 100 conservative leaders just published an open letter of support. The letter was organized by the Vandenberg Coalition, a conservative foreign policy group (that I chair). The full list of signers can be found here. An article about the letter in National Review can be found here.
The text of the letter follows:
As conservatives, we are committed to the principle advanced by all Republican presidents since Eisenhower that the best way to keep America safe is to keep America strong. Without a single U.S. servicemember in harm’s way, America’s material support to Ukraine is degrading the war machine of Russia, one of the United States’ principal adversaries—an aggressive power working hand in hand with China to reduce America’s prosperity and overturn America’s victory in the Cold War.

For more than a year, Ukraine has defended itself from Russia’s barbaric invasion. Thousands of Ukrainians—military and civilians alike—have given their lives to protect their nation. Yet Ukrainians are not asking for American troops, only American weapons and equipment.
Americans are rightly frustrated by the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy. President Biden failed to deter Putin’s invasion; today, he seems more concerned about the prospects of a Russian defeat than of a Russian victory. His half measures have cost lives and time. It is a mystery to us why some would look at the president’s record on this issue and criticize him for being too "strong."
Only through decisive American leadership on the Ukraine war will Americans be safer at home and abroad. Efforts to stop our aid to Ukraine could lead to a Russian battlefield victory, with catastrophic effects for American security. Putin would eye the next stage of the Russian empire’s restoration, and China would have a green light to take Taiwan. Preventing a Russian victory is a critical American interest; additionally, continuing aid to Ukraine makes America safer because:
• Our aid has encouraged other nations to increase their defense spending and finally begin to acknowledge the importance of burden sharing, with fifteen other European nations now giving more in aid than the U.S. as a percentage of GDP.
• Improving our industrial base and replenishing our military stockpiles strengthens America’s supply chains, creates American jobs, and modernizes America’s manufacturing sector, providing a much-needed boost to our economy as well as our national security, while expanding our capacity to deter a Chinese invasion of Taiwan
