Russia invades Ukraine and every politician and talking head is now shouting “Democracy is at stake” so, let’s look at our track record for going to war to “Save Democracy.”

Vietnam: Thousands killed, countless wounded.
Result: Death and Destruction – No democracy

Iraq: Thousands killed, countless wounded.
Result: Death and Destruction – No democracy

Afghanistan: Thousands killed, countless wounded.
Result: Death and Destruction – No democracy

This faux outrage from our political leaders is meant to redirect our intention away from their failures. The truth is that their feckless leadership and impotent foreign policy are the reasons this invasion is taking place.

Weakness invites war, and this administration is pathetically weak. This president and congress have turned a blind eye as millions of unvetted foreigners have invaded our country this past year.

Not a single politician or media minion ever uttered “Democracy is at stake” during this ongoing invasion. They’ve also given us a skyrocketing national debt, out-of-control inflation and record-breaking food and gas prices, all in a year.

Don’t forget the historically high crime and murder rates throughout the country, while they protect criminals and ignore victims.

Our department of injustice is not blind, they prosecute based on politics, meting out punishment, instead of equal justice.

The people don’t want any of the things you’ve given them.

That is the unvarnished state of our union.

Americans don’t want to get involved in a war between Russia and Ukraine.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines democracy as “government by the people”.

Over the last year, our elected leaders have acted more like autocrats in a totalitarian government, instead of representatives serving the people.

Yes, the politicians and the media who are shouting “Democracy is at stake”, are correct.

Unfortunately, they got the country wrong.

Democracy certainly is at stake, right here in America.

Every American should be outraged that our leadership wants to get us involved in another foreign war for “Democracy”.

When Hunter Biden, Paul Pelosi, and at least one immediate family member of every member of congress signs up to fight Russia, then we can send troops to defend Ukraine

Until then, please, let’s not Play it again Uncle Sam.
