Unacceptable for Putin to win war in Ukraine

BROOKLINE — The world needs a new New World Order.

There is something fundamentally and drastically wrong with a world that tolerates one man who kills thousands, injures thousands more, destroys a country, and harms millions through food and energy deprivation.

Perhaps the United Nations should change its governance to eliminate the Security Council, develop an international military, and install a system whereby a majority vote of countries allows the U.N. to act against dictators.

Or perhaps NATO should defend not only its members, but its members' neighbors. Or perhaps the United States should increase its support of Ukraine, in order to allow that beleaguered country to win this war.

Ukraine has to win. If not, Putin has won. And that would be completely unacceptable.

It is time for leaders to get more creative.
