Drumpf Pals Beg Him to Stop Kissing Putin's Ass During Ukraine Invasion
Putin will now be seen and treated as the greatest near-term threat to peace the world faces. The man who thought he could exploit the division he helped sow in the West, has now united it. NATOs forward deployments in countries he threatened will not be withdrawn anytime soon. NATO, which was adrift, has once again found purpose in containing Putin. Europeans who flirted with Russia will no longer do so. Europe will finally start to turn away so they are no longer dependent on Russian energy.
Already, Ukraines inexperienced almost accidental president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has been elevated by this attack and the role he has played thus far in standing up to it. His speech, directed to his people and those of Russia, was a tour de force, the most humane address any leader has delivered in the course of this crisis. The support his people will get from the West will exceed what was thought possible days ago. It is now understood that the people of Ukraine are fighting for the rule of law, for democracy, and for the world order. If they suffer early defeats, the movement to ultimately restore what the Russians are trying to take from them will have a long list of active donors and supporters from across Europe, the U.S., and around the world. And each victory they win at any stage of this conflict will be seen not as a defeat of Russian forces but of Putin himself.
Even Putins supporters in the West will realize that their embrace of him will be their undoing. Pictures will emerge of Russian atrocities. Putin will be condemned as a war criminal. Fox News and Trump will no longer be able to glibly both sides the conflict between Russia and Ukraine or minimize the manifest evil of the man Americas 45th president sought to embrace.

But if history is any guide, his over-reach and his miscalculations, his weaknesses as a strategist, and the flaws in his character will undo him. And, if there is justice in the world, if the people of the U.S. and Europe are paying attention, they will also serve to undo those Putin acolytes abroad who supported this monster and ignored the profound danger to us all that he embodies.
