Politics, Resist: Donate to support Ukraine

Yesterday, King Krasnov (Russia KGB’s code name for the current US President) and Hillbilly Vance ambushed Prime Minister Zelenskyy of Ukraine in the Oval Office. Disgust is the least of what we felt as we saw what took place. We found out about U24, where normal people can donate to support Ukraine in Defence, Humanitarian Demining, Medical Aid, Rebuild Ukraine, and Education and Science. We made a donation today to support the Defence fund. We will be making monthly contributions going forward to support.

A word from Tom Nichols

Tom Nichols is a conservative columnist and a retired professor at the U.S. Naval War College. He wrote a piece in the Atlantic called “It Was an Ambush.” We note down some of the words he said here.

“All of the ghastliness inflicted on Zelensky today should not obscure the geopolitical reality of what just happened: The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence.”

“Today’s meeting and America’s shameful vote in the United Nations on Monday confirmed that the United States is now aligned with Russia and against Ukraine, Europe, and most of the planet. I felt physically sick watching the president of the United States yell at a brave ally, fulminating in the Oval Office as if he were an addled old man shaking his fist at a television. Zelensky has endured tragedies, and risked his life, in ways that men such as Trump and Vance cannot imagine. (Vance served as a public-relations officer in the most powerful military in the world; he has never had to huddle in a bunker during a Russian bombardment.) I am ashamed for my nation; even if Congress acts to support and aid Ukraine, it cannot restore the American honor lost today.”

“… the strategic reality is that this meeting is a catastrophe for the United States and the free world. America’s alliances are now in danger, and should be: Trump is openly, and gleefully, betraying everything America has tried to defend since the defeat of the Axis 80 years ago. The entire international order of peace and security is now in danger, as Russian autocrats, after slaughtering innocent people for three years, look forward to enjoying the spoils of their invasion instead of standing trial for their crimes.”

A word from Timothy Snyder

Timothy Snyder is a famous historian. He breaks down the Five Failures in the Oval Office. He saw five failures on the American side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence.

Today’s word of the day from Merriam-Webster: betrayal

betrayal: the act of betraying someone or something or the fact of being betrayed : violation of a person’s trust or confidence, of a moral standard, etc.
