Russia invades a sovereign nation (Ukraine) under a clearly false narrative. It’s a clear case of a large nation bullying a smaller nation. Why?
Because their leader is a dictator and because they can.
Because the dictator was trying to recreate the Soviet Union.
Because the dictator knows they can leverage (size & numbers) to their advantage.
Because of their nuclear capability (threat), everyone treats the situation carefully.
What does my beloved country’s new leadership decide to do about it?
Buddy up to the Russian dictator—taking their talking points, perspective, and side.
Calls Ukraine’s president a dictator.
Blames the war on Ukraine.
Defunds military support for Ukraine.
Try to guide a peace plan that supports Russia’s interests.
Whatever happened to the United States being—
A role model and leader of the free world?
Someone who pushes back on bullies and dictators?
Someone who is principled and does what’s “right?”
I feel like we’ve lost our way. And I wonder if we’ll ever find it again.
I sure hope so…
