U.S. weapons will do more harm than good <br>  <br> over there. <br>  <br> Even if the Ukraine and its current leadership <br>  <br> claims that U.S. weapons will be used for <br>  <br> defending the Ukraine only how does Russia know <br>  <br> that future Ukrainian councilpeople and presidents <br>  <br> will not use warehouses full of U.S. weapons <br>  <br> to invade Russia and kill poor Russian civilians? <br>  <br>  A medium sized example of the unreliability of groups <br>  <br> of elected politicians is the Los Angeles City Council which <br>  <br> passed 41.18 in 2021 after debating and a councilman who opposed <br>  <br> requiring homeless people to remain standing forever <br>  <br> decided to add in a time limit to each enforcement <br>  <br> zone that does not exceed one year so each enforcement zone <br>  <br> that prohibits sitting lying sleeping and storage of <br>  <br> personal property on the public right of way within <br>  <br> 500 feet of its address should expire after only one year <br>  <br> and its signs should then be removed. <br>  <br> Today I discovered signs for a large enforcement zone that <br>  <br> started enforcement on February 03 2022 and should have ended on <br>  <br> February 03 2023 but the signs are still posted on <br>  <br> June 05 2023. ( already 16 months instead of only 12 months. ) <br>  <br>  The councilman who had opposed permanent enforcement zones <br>  <br> has been term limited out so he is no longer able to remind <br>  <br> the 14 other councilmembers in Los Angeles to vote to <br>  <br> terminate enforcement at locations that have already been <br>  <br> enforcement zones for one year. <br>  <br> The text of L.A. 41.18 includes a one year time limit for each <br>  <br> enforcement zone. <br>  <br> Try to imagine poor civilians in Russia. New elected politicians <br>  <br> in the Ukraine are probably not going to limit themselves to using <br>  <br> vast stockpiles of U.S. weapons only to defend the Ukraine. Many of <br>  <br> the Ukrainians running for office are planning on invading Russia <br>  <br> and punishing Russia with powerful weapons that were provided <br>  <br> by the United States. <br>  <br>  Back in 2021 Homeless Americans exercised their right to peacefully <br>  <br> protest against Los Angeles 41.18 and its enforcement zones. <br>  <br> Does Vladimir Putin have a right to protest against the United <br>  <br> States continuing to send weapons to the Ukraine that might be used <br>  <br> by the next group of Ukrainian politicians to invade Russia and <br>  <br> kill poor Russian civilians by introducing a resolution to the <br>  <br> United Nations that requests that the United States stop sending <br>  <br> any additional weapons to the Ukraine? <br>  <br> . <br>  <br> Eric Matteson <a href=\"mailto:ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com<\/a> <br><br> <\/p>\n","contact":"ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Does Putin have a right to ask the United Nations\r\nto vote on a potential resolution to ask the\r\nUnited States to stop shipping any additional \r\nweapons to the Ukraine??","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2023\/06\/301508.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
