Outnumbered and outgunned but the brave people of Ukraine are still fighting for their freedom and their national life. Massive Russian military forces are meeting heavy resistance, and the people of the world are inspired by their courage and patriotism.
Dictator Putin clearly underestimated the resolve of a free people and has resorted to targeting civilian targets while a forty-mile-long armored convoy closes in on the capital city of Kyiv where Ukrainian President Zelenskyy refused our President Biden’s offer to air evacuate him. Instead, Zelensky responded with the now-famous words.
I don’t need a ride. I need ammo
Too bad we don’t have a president with a fraction of that courage.
Not only has Zelenskyy’s courage and leadership inspired his people but has inspired the world. All of NATO and all of Europe (even Switzerland!) have unified in opposition to Putin and are sending weapons, food, medical supplies and placing crippling sanctions on Russia. The ruble is now worth less than the American penny.
Putin’s plan was to divide and fracture both entities – he has failed badly. Even China is backing away from him.
So, where was the leadership from the “Leader of the free world” before this? Where was the awareness that Putin was a dangerous despot and that Putin had, for years, made it clear he wanted Ukraine under his control? President Trump knew this and kept the lid on Putin’s ambitions. How did our Leftists now running things miss it?
Too busy trying to establish a Marxist Socialist ideology right here in the US, I guess. Calling it Progressivism or Socialism doesn’t change what it is. Socialism, Marxism, Communism it’s all the same ideology of Big Government in control of everything and everyone. Follow the Party line or suffer the consequences; sound familiar Americans?
Look closely, people. This is what the current political Left seeks to establish right here in America: speech control, media control, thought control, and your children will be programmed and indoctrinator in Government schools. How easy it will then be to put their own Putin clone in as “Supreme Leader”?
Not that far-fetched – look at China, Russia, N. Korea, Cuba, Venezuela as they all devolved from a Socialism variant into dictatorships. It’s what always happens, and we are not immune. It could happen here, and it’s the goal of all Marxist Socialists. It doesn’t matter where it begins. When a central government gains too much power and control, it becomes convinced “it” is infallible and has all the answers for all the people. Any resistance becomes a deadly threat to the orthodoxy that must be crushed by any means necessary (see Trudeau and his actions against the Canadian truckers).
Is this what Americans want? Will we continue to accept and tolerate it?
