| President Zelensky of Ukraine ~ March 2022 |
Can anyone watch or listen to the courageous leader of Ukraine and not be inspired by his bravery and dedication to his country? President Zelensky is reminiscent of our greatest and most admirable national leaders such as Washington and Lincoln, who unfortunately lie deep within our distant past.
And then, of course, there's Joe Biden. The US government's solution to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, courtesy of our so-called leader, was to offer Zelensky an escape route. This tells us everything we need to know about what Biden's reaction would be in a similar crisis.
President Zelensky's famous response--"I need ammunition, not a ride"-- will echo throughout history as the answer of a brave, true, and worthy leader. Zelensky will fight to the death, and he is fully aware that outcome is likely. It is inspiring to know that such men still exist in today's craven world.
As death rains down upon the innocent, Biden sits on the sidelines, an impotent spectator as our oil dollars continue to fund Putin's destruction of Ukraine. If it truly wished to help Ukraine, the Biden administration could sanction Russian oil--but it won't. It could leverage our own substantial oil reserves to help mitigate gas prices--but it won't. It could reopen the Keystone XL pipeline to help our European allies as well as our own people--but it won't.
Meanwhile, against all odds, President Zelensky fights on alongside his countrymen. He could flee, he could surrender--but he won't.
