A few days in my life of roughly three decades have been pivotal moments in world history, and today is one of those days.
11 September 2001 was obviously the big one in terms of global politics, which started the War on Terror.
August 2008 saw the Russian-Georgian War, the first foreign invasion by Russia since the Soviet era. This is the point where politicians needed to realize Putin was not our friend, and he should have been removed from power at that point. We have removed democratically elected leaders for far less historically; there was no reason not to do a US-backed coup against Putin after he invaded Georgia.
The 2014 invasion of Ukraine started a now 10-year-long war, the biggest war in Europe since World War II.
Today, the US Senate will decide whether to provide Ukraine with over $60 billion of military aid.
If we provide Ukraine the aid they so desperately need so they can save their democracy, we will both save Ukraine and also prevent an invasion of the Baltic States.
If we don’t, Russia will invade the Baltic States, which are members of NATO, and an attack on one is an attack on all.
Mike Johnson, Netanyahu, and Biden do not matter. A solution to the crisis in Palestine and military aid in Ukraine, so the fascist Putin stops killing civilians in Ukraine and does not start World War III, is the only thing that matters today.
It couldn’t possibly be more simple.
