A deep bow of gratitude to Olya and all Ukrainians for so bravely standing up to the biggest bully with the worst weapons. I am sickened by Trump and Vance’s inclinations to appease Putin instead of wholeheartedly helping defend Ukraine.
I fear her message will fall on deaf ears; although, I certainly hope not. I can’t fathom what is currently happening to those still behind Putin’s new ‘Iron Wall.’ Were Ukrainians summarily executed in place like Mariupol, who haven’t seen freedom in 3 years? What about towns that have only recently found themselves under that dark shroud of Putin’s reconquest—I can’t imagine what is not coming out because of the control of the narrative, and the language disparities that don’t allow the many stories to come out.
Whenever I hear Vice President Vance or President Trump proclaim that they are working “to avoid World War 3,” I’m reminded of Patrick Henry’s words 250 years ago…
Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! … Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!
I understand why Americans have become weary of wars after Afghans Iraq. But there are no boots on the ground and arming Ukraine powers our military industry that benefits American workers. We had a great chance strengthening NATO while bringing Ukraine into the alliance permanently. But alas, right wing propagandists including Tucker Carlson has a fetish for Russian power and supposedly responsible Republican Joni Ernst shrilled for Trump in a WSJ op-ed criticizing wasteful spendings by the Ukrainian government. I hope Europe wakes the hell up since America had fallen and cannot get up.
Meanwhile in the US Universities and Nazi Christian Nationalism
To paraphrase JD Vance’s attack on universities and upper education, “the government should honestly and aggressively look to destroy the university system of higher education because it is the enemy to American Christian values” (November 2021) This is fundamental to the Christian Nationalist(CN) movement currently propagated by the Nazi regime in the White House and is the fundamental pinning of the regime’s attack on Harvard university
What is one of the essentials of the CN propaganda is born out of American societal’s longstanding debate(since 1740) about the haves and have nots with respect to education according to historian Heather Cox Richarson in her Letters from an American Substack column The have nots have argued that higher education threatens Christian values and even goes so far as to relate government and universities in cahoots with each other to decimate the Christian fabric of society But among other issues under this cloak of being a proponent of Christian values is the elimination of the boundaries of Church and State thereby attacking the First Amendment’s freedom of religion
In Nazi Germany the CN movement led to book burning and the regime’s tolerance of Universities that touted the Nazi way of thinking(“We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.” Adolph Hitler 1928)
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 this flag will remain and all the current injustices will be made right. Blue Revolution now and live the Constitutional democracy our families have fought and died to preserve…embrace your power through our sovereign fiat currency to make billionaires irrelevant.

I am reminded that WW III is well under way. And that Ukraine is standing between the enemy and the rest of us. An amazing people.
