Once again I am appalled at Russian attacks on the citizens of Ukraine. Let me suggest several courses of action to counter the Russian attack on Ukraine.
First, let Putin and Russia know that Russian prisoners of war will be housed in high-rise apartment buildings, condos, swimming pool complexes, & movie theaters throughout Ukraine.
Allow Ukraine citizens to live in the same buildings and arrange for citizens to meet with these prisoners of war. Allow these citizens to express their grief, anger, and sorrow to these Russian prisoners. At the same time expose these prisoners to the truth about Putin’s war and Putin’s Russia.
If, the bombing and shelling of non-military targets are stopped, great. If, the bombing and shelling of non-military targets continue remove the prisoners of war and mark it up as a war crime of Putin against his own people.
Next, if the reports are true that many captured Russian soldiers want to fight with the Ukrainians, create a Russian Division to go back into Russia. The motto of this division; “We came as conquerors, we return as liberators.” Get this message out as much as possible into Russia. We are coming for Putin and his criminal regime. Ask the citizens of Russia to come march with us to Moscow.
If, you are a Russian pilot ordered to come bomb or machine gun our march, please protect us instead. Keep us from harm, then fly to the nearest NATO airbase and surrender your aircraft. The same for the ground troops, artillery, and tanks; point your weapons in the direction of weapons pointed at the Anti-Putin, Liberty division.
If you fire upon the Liberty Division, we will fire our weapons at you. As the Liberty Division moves forward, constantly send the message to come and join the army, and citizens march to Moscow. Perhaps Napoleon’s famous march from Elba to Paris can be recreated!
