A letter to Mr. Putin

I normally write about kindness and love.  These are such important topics.  But there comes a time on the world stage when something else needs to be said.  Sometimes doing the right thing is very difficult and painful and costly...  So here I go... 

 Forgive me if this feels political, and it might, but I cannot watch any longer without speaking out.

Dear Mr. Putin...

Mr. Putin we have not seen such naked aggression and such arrogance since Adolf Hitler in 1939. You took the  Crimea in 2014 and the West did nothing.  You moved into the Crimea with troops that were not identified with your national colors, which is against international law, and the West did nothing.   

Now you have annexed the provinces in east Ukraine. And the West has done nothing. 

If I were president of the United States, this is what I would say to you...  "if you step one foot into the Ukraine, We are at war. Man to man, soldier to soldier, tank to tank, airplane to airplane, submarine to submarine, President to President we will be at war."

Good people cannot allow tyrants to take what they want.  Mr. Putin, please reconsider your actions.

It is a very tense, worrisome day in God's world......
