  1. PART-ONE: Indeed really, this letter SHOULD BE read by the three mighty leaders of, Germany, USA, and UK, because contents here related, and ordinary totally powerless person like me can ONLY hope they might read if my quite reasonable request is granted by forwarding, prefer or notifying German leader’s Office Person and UK leaders’ Office person AFTER both* DW and Times Radio, Sky News, or BBC editors read first is what I am requesting. Contents herein are nothing but my sincerer apology to 3-UK leaders (PM, DM, FM), and useful information to deal with both China and Russian in grand-scale indeed, why have merit to read about NOT so short letter! Well, I can send to my Pres. of US, but I have NO way of conveying to BOTH** German and UK leaders. Note **the date Posted on both DW and Times Radio on ((*1-*21-2023)), but will post on BBC, Sky News, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, SO, my only hope is BOTH DW and Times Radio or Sky News or BBC would forward to UK leader stated herein: *May be I am questing too much; however, Times Radio team editor can see I have spent considerable thoughts and spending decent time and efforts to state the points stated herein have *much merits to read about; yet, my underpinning *singularly pressing efforts is to convey worthy of *read about points to {very respectfully request Times Radio Editor to either forward, prefer, or at the least notify, UK, PM, DM, FM to read about and accept my apology and when the aforementioned leaders do that in spiritually, I will be more than glad indeed!!! Reiterate, to the mighty UK's 3-leaders that *I owe ***them** [PM, DM, FM], cordial apology to them, as I have characterized them as such **semi-cowards** (with acceptable reason though), I was very much frustrated, but the 3-realder make up, **particularly I am absolutely delighted that Challanger-2 tanks is on the way to Ukraine, after immediate training to VERY FAST learning Ukraine brave, courageous, resilient, and smart, solider. Accordingly, I {Pres. Biden knows who I am}, hereby taking back ** in light of UK, formally Great British Empire {sun never down still exist given the cold fact that United Kingdom, Briton, Scotland, Canada, almost the same size if not bigger than US in terms of landmass size, AND we MUST not forget *island continent Australia, (must not allow illegal immigrant or human invasion (must not allowed at all regardless of *moving performance to get in by means of quickly and *illegally unfair to other orderly immigrants!), to undermine the fabric of England tradition Kingdome of Australia and not ever taken *tradition including *original-domestic-make up, (stating and from as non-white-skin-but-virtually westernized person…) {why I have been said ever since Pres. Obama the border wall must be build and it was EVEN politically mistaken to stop completing the border wall why lost or NEVER had a chance to turn Representative in most, if not all, border states Representatives seats! NOW, *getting back to Ukraine related matter, yes indeed, {naturally many kudos to UK setting example of donating Challanger-2 to Ukraine (hope-long range and Merlin helicopters to fight against *impunity war criminal Russian submarines that have been attacking Ukraine and will do so continually until the evil war and more is over…}, speaking from US Citizen, yes, I quite clearly agree with German Chancellor is making *cowardice and wrong decision, but there is ALSO US *must take blame for keep on refusing to making symbolic gesture by NOT setting example or donating symbolic 100-tanks THAT *brilliant Ukraine engineers, {NO doubt about that!}, can modify M1A1 tanks **{[ NO doubt that brilliant Ukraine engineers [like US engineers], can convert Abraham tank engine to use diesel-fuel!}.** will be able to run with diesel-fuel is VERY MUCH possible. US setting example like U.S first donating Patriot SAM donation to Ukraine which Germany followed and now Netherland EVEN exceed by 2-battiies. What is absolutely despicable, foolish, childish, coward and **shameful behaviors of US foreign policy makers *evidently violated the VERY *rudimentary and principle foreign policy grand strategy against cardinal rule of one of 4-Saint, Socrates’ *know thyself and WHOEVER came up with such childish AND foolish foreign policy that *capitulated to China and EVEN promised China that US will not supply ****absolutely ****warranted counter-offensive weapons to Ukraine to drive out evil war criminal Putin’s devil army from Ukraine is MUST and why this such basic comment sense is so hard to understand certain European counties is such *tragedy for sure indeed! Based on public information that is *truly **sickening-factual information that it is *OK for, with impunity, Russian evil army troops from Ukraine was based on report I have learned is sickening anyone with fair mind: US imbecilic moron plus minded our, US, foreign policy leaders promised to China that US will not supply any offensive weapons to Ukraine that Ukraine Army can use to expel Russian evil army occupying Ukraine land. Immensely proud US Army Infantry Division veteran! USA

  2. Ukraine should have surrendered Zelensky.

  3. You killed a million people in Iraq' George Galloway tells Jacqui Smith – BBC News

  4. What do you think the end of this is going to look like. Not good

  5. American missiles murdered more than a hundred women and children in Ukrainian Dnipro apartment buildings not Russian missiles North Russian missiles Eddie's was fired by the by the orders of a dictator of Ukraine and the European Union NATO military Dnipro apartment building is the biggest cover-up of murder by the United States government and the American Media was not even investigating this murder of Joe Biden's military arsenal deceive what helicopter crash opposition leaders to the Ukrainian dictators and the CIA is living in Ukraine

  6. STOP jeopardizing the planet from nuke scenario! This is what USA is doing, who blatantly dismisses any warnings from Putin. The only thing Zelensky repeats is about ukrainians dying, never mind the +100 000 dead russians, and the evil of Putin. Are you all, 50 vs 1, oracles knowing for sure no drastic actions will ever be taken? Its no comfort that nukes would be used as retaliation in return, because you would be dead anyway and have radioactive land. You are creating a situation with the West selfproclaiming as enemies to Russia with russiophobia, sanctions, global slandering, military and intelligence aid, etc.. I am sure Putin and soon russians will feel threatened by the West, not knowing your true intentions. If this escalation by USA continues, Russia could use nukes against West in preemptive purpose and Russia have enough nukes to devastate all western countries. Fools! Morons!

  7. More is better. The alternative scenario is a lot worse. Just do it.

  8. Dig deeper to make more money for fat cats and make 99.9% US citizens to suffer.

  9. America and Europe plus like-minded buddies are in Europe working on a mother of a project. Its goal is a simple one…digging hole.

    Europe:
    "Hey my American brother…you gave us shovels, you gave us buckets, but you didn't give us a plan. You want us to dig a hole, but we don't know how deep you want it."

    America:
    "Don't worry, buddy. Keep at it, dig deeper. You will know it when it is deep enough."

    Europe:
    "How would we know ?"

    America:
    "Well, when it is deep enough for you lot not able to climb out."

    Europe:
    "Why are you taking away the ladder?"

    America:
    "You don't need one."

  10. America and Russia are both the strongest, if you can dare America to fight Russia alone🤭

  11. yes dig deeper and make anericans go bankrupt and struggle on streets in minus degrees wow

  12. Mr. Raytheon has a message for his allies. ''dig deeper'' lol

  13. So…it’s world war…

  14. Lets Zelenskiy solve this problem ! He is the one who made this mess…

  15. If you USA people don't do anything you are the problem not joe Biden o the man's in black the control all of you you will pay for food more but Ukraine 💸 loving 💸 you money . USA is playing god put you USA people are paying 10 dollars for 🥚 . You will see the Russia will win and you kid will see nuclear disaster

  16. Take care of it now,
    or we will all be paying with blood later.
    Dallas, TX

  17. The number of pro-Russian ideologues here is stunning.

    Here are facts:
    1. We've tried what you're suggesting in 30s last century, the problem only got bigger and eventually hundreds of millions died. There are good reasons to stop the aggression before it grows.
    2. You either have values or you don't. If you don't you're no better than China, Russia, Iran or North Korea. It's your choice who you are.
    3. Economy is not a zero sum game. Spending can actually be a good thing. More production, more jobs, modernized defensive capabilities etc.
    4. If nothing else, having Ukraine keeping Russia (an official adversary of NATO countries) occupied for the next 50 years is a great "chess move".

    A little less factual: I want to stop a fascist regime from killing people. It's part of my values. I hope it's not just me, but I'm willing to sacrifice more than just 1-2$ at the gas pump to see Ukraine win.

  18. Our country has reached max limit debt and is falling behind on their bills yet we send billions to a lost cause

  19. This effort is only sustainable until Biden is in the office, whats afther Joe other than angry Russian resentment directly focused on retaliation

  20. The democRats use the puppet state of Ukraine to launder money to themselves. This is why we are literally at war with Russia. Look at foreign donations to the Clinton foundation and hunter on the burisma board.

  21. Digging deeper for war, why not for the peace….

  22. Let Hunter and Joe help Ukraine

  23. Nobody outside of the obiden crime family wants anything to do with zelenskyy's war….hpl

  24. QUIT giving AMERICAN taxpayers $$$$$ to UKRAINE!!!!!!!!!! Take care of the AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST!!!!!!!!!

  25. I think we already stole all the ammo from dead guys too.
    The well is dry, God abandoned you, I say you're the evildoers on my planet.
    Rite?

  26. Did deeper and ruin your economy like the US

  27. Get them while they are down lol

  28. About time to help Ukraine to put a boot in Russian back sides for good amen hallelujah praise God

  29. Oh but when Trump told them to start paying their fair share EVERYONE THREW A FIT. My how things have changed.

  30. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT Nazi Ukrainian Chemical Medical Weapons Builders. PUTIN SHALL WIN.

  31. Big money for the military industry

  32. Go well you know where. Oh that's right we the payers don't have any say in this. They will take everything.

  33. ' Ukraine 🇺🇦 ' White Flag " GIVE IT UP " ! ' 🃏 ' Zelensky plays the Stage for O'Biden's War Games on Russia ' 🇷🇺 ' ! ❤️ ! " Responsibility Matters for ALL Lives " ! 🇺🇸 !

  34. Dig deeper and weaken yourself, Russia will sweep in and destroy you all. Best to keep your powder dry and attack your enemy when you’re ready.

  35. Ukraine can go pound sand. So can defense secretary Lloyd Austin.

  36. Maybe our "Allies" are coming to their senses and moving away from the constant war and bloodshed that the US demands.
    Say no to killing. Tell the US "enough is enough."
