Mercenaries for Ukraine
Oh the humanity, fathom I cannot.
Men of aggression hell-bent to unravel.
A friendly people who seek only peace.
Only to be pummeled by men of disease.
The world talks softly in hopes of reprieve.
But it must wake up, for we can’t be naive.
Mercenaries of honor, poised to deliver.
An act men of dishonor would surely cower in shiver.
I ask my fellow men and women the same.
How can we stand idle while the innocent flame.
To claim one is virtuous, honorable, and sane.
Only to turn a blind eye to this delusion and shame.

Mercenaries for Ukraine
Proposition: Due to the sensitivity of the world powers engaging directly in the Russian Ukrainian war Citizen Vatch proposes that the world powers who are providing monetary and military aid for Ukrainian defenses to also provide (with the same funds) a mercenary compensation plan for private citizens of the world to enlist on a volunteer status to provide the aid the Ukrainians need most urgently, man power.
I see this as an extremely elegant solution since we already know Russian Mercenaries were used in the taking of Ukrainian territory and they continue to exist and fight to this day. Russia cannot make any legitimate argument of one country or another is directly engaging since the use of Mercenaries were a Russian tactic to begin with. It would be a tit for tat response. The free countries and the free people of the world have every right to start a GoFundMe type of donation for a private Mercenary recruitment to help Ukraine defend itself and I for one would and will contribute.
This is the freedom that makes Authoritarians shiver in fear, when the masses amass.
With adequate man power and proper weapons I strongly believe Russia would see the light and wish to negotiate quickly, very quickly when they start losing their gains and the Crimea peninsula is legitimately threatened, a prize that would surely hurt Putin’s political standing within his own Government and with the good people of Russia.
With proper armament Ukraine could and should cut off the Crimea peninsula from mainland Russia which would severely impact their supply lines. And with their supply lines severed their ability to continue supplying their troops adequately would be threatened and Russia would have no choice but to retreat or risk getting cut off and be choked to death of all of their military men and equipment who would be caught in the Crimea peninsula.
A simple and solid solution and if you the reader can see the elegance and the logic in this approach with the lack of US troops in direct conflict please forward your opinion to the world. Talk as if innocent people are being murdered every minute from their inaction. Ukrainians need help, Ukrainians did nothing to deserve this brutal assault of death and destruction of their whole country and we the good people can actually help these people to save their homeland with a simple redirect of strategy.
Fund a Mercenary Army with some of this aid.
