Ukraine has been through 3 years of a war which it did not want, but though bloodied and bruised, it has managed to fend off a Russian bear attack which NATO had feared for decades. They put a cork in Putin's territorial ambitions of rebuilding the former Soviet Union, and also showed the world the the strength of Ukraine's resolve not to fall behind Russia's shadow again. That resistance has come at great cost though, and Putin's Russia seems only more emboldened by a US president willing to repeat the kremlin's own talking points.
Today, something happened which will be seen as the breaking point of US leadership among developed nations, and it will have repercussions that will ripple through the next few decades. There has never been such a display of the humble leadership forged in war, juxtaposed with the petty wickedness and greed of a wannabe king and his couch jester, broadcast live from the center of US power. The message of ineptitude, perfidy and weakness that was sent, will be as clear to our allies as it is to our adversaries.
So what can anyone do about this? First, I suggest calling your Senator or Representative in Congress, and let them know how you feel about what is going on. Next you can look at the events over on www.fiftyfifty.one, and let your voice be heard (the next nationwide bipartisan protest is March 4th). And finally, today (February 28th) you can send a message with your dollars, by joining a 1 day nationwide economic boycott. That just means buying from local businesses only, and avoiding major retailers or large purchases in order to send an economic message that things are not OK.
