Since the moment Russia invaded Ukraine, I have admired the bravery of the Ukrainian people in defense of their nation. Vladimir Putin wants to destroy Ukraine and restore the Tsarist Russia of his disgusting dreams and destroy Ukraine.
For three years now, Ukraine has stood against everything Russia can do--killing hundreds of thousands of Russian troops and wounding even more. For Ukraine, this war is existential. If Russia wins, Ukraine and all of its history and culture disappear as Russia continues to murder, rape and dispossess the people of Ukraine.At this critical moment, America is abandoning Ukraine. Trump is attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the same moment he giving the war criminal Putin anything he wants in regard to Ukraine.
As we approach the Quarter Millennial Anniversary of America next year, we are on course to betray Ukraine, desert Taiwan, take Greenland, attack Panama and threaten our closest allies--and as the frosting on this shit cake, leave NATO.
Forty-nine years ago, my tank flew a Bicentennial American Flag as we trained to face Soviet tanks on the East-West German border. I enlisted during four different wars in the past fifty years. The Cold War was the only war America won. And now Trump has given that victory away by siding with Putin against our allies.
I hoped to celebrate America on July 4, 2026, but it is more likely I will be in DC protesting the betrayal of Ukraine: assuming we still have Constitutional Rights next year. I wouldn't bet one way or the other.
