‘It is the fanatic and the moderate who are poles apart and never meet.’ Marjorie Traitor Greene and other figures on both the far-right and hard-left say Russia just wants to be our friend and we’re being awfully unfair to them. - Who the hell does Marjorie Traitor Greene think she is? Who the hell do the likes of Ilhan Omar and AOC think they are? Who the hell does any American who stands against aiding Ukraine and praises Putin think they are? Ukraine is protecting the entire world from the biggest menace to global security since the days of Hitler and Stalin. Do we not understand what is at stake here? Clearly, no. Ukrainian people are dying so rednecks, hillbillies, and other assorted bigots, racists, and awful human beings can whine about gas prices, watch ‘reality TV,’ eat junk food, and boast about how superior they are in peace.
Nationalist populists praise men like Trump and Putin as virtuous leaders who are going to save the world for Christianity and the white race, but in the end they’ll meet the same fate as the lay Germans who went along to get along in Nazi times. The German people were held liable for the crimes of their leaders and were punished - they were forced to tour the ruins of the concentration camps they had previously heard the rumors of but steadfastly denied existed, their nation was divided into two with the eastern half living under a tyrannical Communist regime for 40 years. Even today, elderly Germans who participated in Nazi war crimes are being brought to justice. Germans were able to rebuild and redeem themselves, because the Germans are an exceptionally industrious and intelligent people; they learn from their mistakes and do not hesitate to correct course. #Murica and Americans possess none of these qualities.
In time, the American people will be held to account, when this experiment with being a global Fascist menace is brought to an inglorious end. Held to account for allowing Trump and the rest to coddle our enemies, betray our allies, and pervert Christianity. Held to account for oppressing millions of their own people, and for destroying America’s international standing. Americans are already the most hated people on earth, and will never regain the world’s trust and friendship; nor does it appear interested in doing so. Ukrainians will not forget who stood with them, and who did not. Ukrainians will not forget that the overwhelming majority of Americans saw men, women, and children being killed and maimed, and those Americans shrugged their shoulders, declared it wasn’t their problem, and that it probably was the Ukrainians’ own fault. The U.S.A. is no longer a good country, and few embody what we have become better than Marjorie Traitor Greene - her star within the Republican Party will only continue to rise and her approval ratings will soar, the further #Murica goes down the dark path of Christofascism.

{VIDEO} Oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, known as ‘Putin’s oldest enemy,’ stresses the only way Putin will be stopped is by force - One of two things will happen: America will either firmly reject Fascism at home and stand with Ukraine and NATO to put down the Russian menace, or #Murica will capitulate completely to the Fascists and join the Russians in directly waging war on Ukraine and all of Europe. Right now, I’m sorry to say, my money is on the latter; and there will be a very harsh price to pay if Americans decide to not merely turn the other way as Putin commits genocide as is happening now, but to actually participate. But I fear that’s coming. Ukrainians need to understand that while some Americans and the Executive branch of our government do support them, millions more are increasingly hostile to Ukraine and admire Vladimir Putin. This is so because their cult leader, Donald Trump, commanded it (at Putin’s behest), and #Cult45 is just about at the point where their brainwashing is leading them to commit atrocities, as Voltaire warned of long ago. (‘Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.’) One way or another, Americans will be drawn into battle, domestically and abroad. All that our country purported to stand for is now being thrown away so we can help a Russian despot satisfy his bloodlust. All of this would have been unimaginable 25, 30 years ago. (CBC News 7/10)
