Even those Americans who have sought out news about Ukraine can do little more than watch from the sidelines as those currently leading our nation inch us toward a potential catastrophe.
President Joe Biden threatens that Russia would "Pay a heavy price" for any incursion into Ukraine.
While Russia's concern is obvious, the Biden administration has never even tried to explain the existence of any vital national interest of the United States in Ukraine that could justify hostilities.
If President John Kennedy was justified in risking war to prevent nuclear missiles from being installed in Cuba in 1961, then why exactly is Russian President Vladimir Putin being reckless in risking war to prevent NATO weapons from being installed in Ukraine in 2022? Would any great nation allow the development of such a threat on its border?
First, "Every nation has a right to prevent other nations from obstructing her preservation that is, to preserve herself from all injuries called the right to security It is safest to prevent the evil, when it can be prevented." This principle is the basis for the Monroe Doctrine and was exactly Kennedy's response to the threat of Russian missiles in Cuba.
Second, "Every nation is obliged to cultivate the friendship of other nations, and carefully to avoid whatever might kindle their enmity against her." De Vattel then added: "Wise and prudent nations often pursue this line of conduct from views of direct and present interest; a more noble, more general, and less direct interest, is too rarely the motive of politicians."
These great nations each have thousands of nuclear weapons that could kill hundreds of millions.
