Ukraine is Europe's future. Finland is about our future, too.
Putin must be stopped. Without that, WWIII is upon us.
Thank you for this thoughtful piece. We all need to learn the lessons -- no more turning the cheek, no more optimism. We are where we are, and that means our choices are to stop WWIII before it starts or fight it later.
We must remember that Putin is Hitler. Hitler gobbled up country after country, one war crime after another and that is exactly when Putin is trying to do. Full of optimism, country after country stood by ... "oh, he won't come after us," but he did and finally when only England and the U.S. woke up, and began to fight, did WWII get stopped. Let's not wait until the odds are almost impossible. Let's be serious opponents of Putin and his ilk right now.
Amen, Barbara. Putin is a monster and even though he doesn't emote like Hitler, he aspires to be him. Too many Russians and American conservatives don't understand this nuance.
Hi Aidan, I am indeed an American. I have, however, been living ex-America for 30 years. I go home often, but it is true that there is a historical naivete that sadly leads us down the wrong rabbit holes. And, thanks for reminding me about Hungary! I forget to add them to the list--their leader is a major fascist s***head!
You are right as usual and your communication is penetrating. I like your style. You must be non American, because you use irony, which Americans don't understand. You may be Canadian.
I'm pleased that you have called out Serbia, Hungary and now Slovakia for edging toward the camp of the new Napoleon, Vlad the Invader. France too is somewhat ambivalent, and Poland is wavering. It gives Naputeon hope of weakening the opposition.
I would like to support you financially but as an 80+year-old married pensioner living on my life savings and Australia's generous old-age pension I am limited to a select few very worthy charities. I can only clap, encourage and admire.
Today I am preparing for Australia's Day of Shame tomorrow. Leave me to my grief, and prepare for America's days, weeks and months of shame as its President pledges to support Netanyahu's Cabinet of Crazies into all kinds of horrors.
The human race, led by Nappy, Xi, and soon US Emperor Donald the First is showing increasing evidence of mental collapse as the angry planet prepares to wipe humanity off Her face like an annoying mosquito.
The term 'the Angry Planet' is attributed to General Angus Campbell the Chief of the Australian Defence Force who, like your General Milley, is one of the stoutest morally courageous supporters of our liberal democracy in these days of peril from 'enemies domestic' as my oath of loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen and her Heirs and Successors expressed it sixty years ago.
