Over 2,000 years ago, Pontius Pilate “washed his hands” of judging Jesus Christ in order to appease his followers. All nonsense of course: Pilate was just virtue signaling.
Hours later the Romans’ scoured and crucified Jesus.
Today the feckless US and venal NATO are washing their hands of an entire country with their application of spineless sanctions. But it’s all for show, an attempt to virtue signal their disdain for Putin and stand with Ukraine.
The West will let Ukraine be crucified while the latter-day Pilates wash their hands of the whole affair in extra helpings of Russian oil.
