We need more democratic leaders to stand up. They don’t seem to understand they needed to take the gloves off years ago.

America is NOT the oldest democracy in the world. Far, far from it. Switzerland is a much older democracy. So, I wish Americans would stop kidding themselves. In fact, I wouldn't call America a democracy at all. There is far too much money in American politics for anyone to consider it a real democracy.

European countries and the USA have been showing weaknesses again and again with authoritarian Russia that understand only power as Putin is. This situation brings many grief to Ukraine, first of all❗

When they had plenty of dire warnibgs that this was likeky yo happen?
Its very perplexing. When obviiusly, there are very many intelligent.people in that country.?
