FACE PROBLEMS HEAD ON_UKRAINE EDITION

 

  


 


The sunflower is the national flower of the Ukraine. It doesn't take a stable genius to see what naked aggression looks like. War is hideous.

"How wrong can one man be?"


December 23, 2015 - two days before Christmas, Russia uses cyber warfare to attack the Ukraine power grid plunging thousands into darkness in frigid cold temperatures. Later, Vlad gets caught in a blood doping scandal at the Sochi Winter Olympics (2016) in what is described as a "culture of cheating." January 2021 - failed insurrection by his pals and admirers in the U.S. goes off the rails. April, 2021 - Russian dissident Alexi Navalni ends a 24-day hunger strike after being poisoned by the Kremlin. In 2022 - a Russian skater is caught and thoroughly exposed on the world stage using a banned substance during the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Ukraine - Vlad planned this invasion for a long time, moving satellites and troops into position and creating a massive disinformation campaign to mask what he was doing. The Ukraine response - $%#& You. We're NOT going to roll over. The World response, we are not going to be bullied. Vlad did this. He built it over a career of resentment toward the West. He is finished.


When approached by the West and asked if he wanted to be evacuated in the time of war, Ukrainian president Zelensky is quoted as saying: "I need ammunition, not a ride." In a remarkable display, he stood up to an advancing thug. How can we do anything less?


We all make mistakes, and no one is perfect. Each of us has our flaws. Each of us carries the burden of our regrets and mistakes. Vlad has been stewing in his own ambition and resentment for so long that I feel like he truly believed that the world would sit idly by and do nothing, NOTHING. He believed that there would be no consequences. He believed that it would be easy. How wrong can one man be? He needs to be brought before the world to answer for war crimes and whisked off the world stage. Bullies like him need to be taught a hard lesson that naked aggression will create a swift response. There must be consequences and anyone enabling him must also face the music.


It is better to stop a fire when it is small than when your house has burned down.


Americans need to constantly evaluate their place in the world. It is a burden but with great power comes great responsibility.
