President Zelensky, this is about the threat of a Russian invasion that President Biden is warning against.

On one hand you expressed appreciation to the United States and its partners for providing your country with "effective support."

But on the other hand, you have said you do not expect any Russian invasion anytime soon. In fact, you seem to doubt President Biden's story and even asked him for proof.

Different fates await you and your country depending on which way it goes.

There is a safe way out of this dilemma for you. Be forewarned it is iconoclastic. But, before identifying it, allow me to review the background.

Here is what President Biden says lies in store for you:

Russia may invade at any moment. At first Biden was focused on a likely land invasion over your eastern border. Lately he's talked of an air attack on Kyiv to kick off the invasion. He says a bloody and destructive war would ensue. People on the ground would be killed indiscriminately.

What's at stake is the killing of Ukrainians, the ruination of Ukrainian cities, and the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure.

But that's not all. Biden's alleged war would create an enormous humanitarian crisis.

Reflect upon what happened in Donbas since 2014. It is widely understood that the conflict there has claimed about 14,000 lives. The United Nations reports that in just 3 years of conflict 2 million Ukrainians were displaced from their homes; 100 thousand were forced into asylum in other countries. Given the population size of all Ukraine, the impending crisis could be more than five times worse.

Now, also consider exactly what the "effective support" is for which you credit President Biden -- and what it isn't. There'll be no troops to help save your country. All you'll see is the imposition of more sanctions on Russia (the last ones didn't accomplish much) and you'll get more weapons. But where are those weapons going to get you?

Do you really believe that you could win a war against Russia and its vast might? If you think so, you might want to reassess that conclusion. Russia has the capability to turn most of your country into a big Chernobyl Exclusion Zone in just a few minutes.

Why risk that or other dire consequences? You're not completely convinced of Biden's invasion story. You publically asked for proof but apparently received none. Why don't you honestly reject the invasion threat and be done with it?

The invasion story is unsubstantiated. That does not mean that an invasion will never occur. I don't know if it will. But for now the story appears to be a fabrication.
