. . . that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Vladimir Putin played dirty. He had his North Korean friend, Kim Jong Un, send 11,000 troops to fight with the Russians in Ukraine. According to Putin’s own philosophy, that calls for a response. But Ukraine doesn’t have the option of calling on outsiders to do their work for them.

So why is the aggressor surprised when his victims fight back with the only means available to them? Has Putin seen the devastation his weapons have caused in Ukraine? The civilians he has slaughtered? The hell he has created for a peaceable nation that was no threat to him?

Ukraine’s missile struck an ammunition warehouse — a legitimate military target — not a school, or an apartment building, or a maternity hospital.

Paybacks are hell, Mr. Putin. You started this. And Ukraine isn’t anywhere near to being even yet — nor do they want to be. It’s time for you to stop whining, admit the monstrous crimes you have committed, and call an end to it.

You want to be a hero? It’s simple: First be a mensch.

Just sayin’ . . .
