The Putin lovers in the US Congress, especially the House, don’t help (apparently they reflect some idiots in the sports world: A Colorado audience jeered a Ukrainian player, screaming “Russia!”), but President Biden and his administration’s dragging their heels (and knuckles too?) about helping Ukraine is killing Ukrainians, both soldiers and civilians. Show some moral spine and leadership, you SOBs! Dragging your heels about the tanks was bad enough. Doing so for longer-range artillery and F-16s leaves Ukraine’s people vulnerable, which is even worse!
Ending this bureaucratic hesitation should be a moral imperative for the Catholic Biden. Putin and his treasonous acolytes in the US Congress (and elsewhere!) might not have souls or ones that can ever be saved, but Biden claims to have one. And that evil Putin is willing to use the murdering Wagner group to throw hardened criminals against the Ukrainians, kamikaze orcs by the thousands. The moral thing to do is to give the Ukrainians what they need to battle those evil hordes!
The Biden administration’s tentative actions seems to be driven by cowardice—apparently they’re afraid the soulless Putin will call their actions an escalation! What bullshit! Putin’s even got the Pentagon shaking it its boots. This smacks of appeasement, and everyone knows how well that worked in WWII.
By showing the rest of the world they’re cowards, Biden et al are enabling Kim, Xi, and other despots. Especially Xi. You can bet he’s watching how the West handles Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. Their cowardice with respect to Ukraine will only convince Xi that he can invade Taiwan. His disrespect of international law with that damn spy balloon masquerading as a “weather balloon” already indicates that he’s getting bolder.
The dominoes have started to fall, and autocracy will continue to run over democracy if we allow it. Biden et al appease fascists, both here in the US and abroad, at our country’s peril. To do nothing will most certainly hasten the the death of America as a beacon for democracy in our hostile world.
