Opinion: The Root of the Present Evil
It arose when the Congress of the United States, Democrats and Republicans, did not hold fast to our Constitution. They did not demand to see the tax returns or the business ventures of someone running for the highest office in our land. They did not require him to obey the emoluments clause to our Constitution. They did not think it important if his business ventures were in opposition to our national security.
The many years of submitting their powers to the Executive Branch led to present predicament in Ukraine and other parts of the world, in my opinion. The weakness of our Legislative Branch of government should not be over-looked.
The embrace of the then-President of the United States with the most powerful dictator in the world was a disaster waiting to happen. The destruction of NATO and the institutions of the US government were threatened. The dictator was emboldened by what he heard from the Leader of the free world and the propaganda outlets in America. He heard encouragement from them before he invaded Ukraine. It was no small matter.
Now we stand on the precipice of an international crisis.
We cannot escape the part that the Big Lie and the embrace of the dictator played in our present predicament.
