Ukraine is begging the world for help. Help to save its very life.
The world is standing by, watching, doing the safe thing. Applying sanctions.
I pray that those sanctions work. I hope it is enough.
But in the days and weeks and months ahead, while we wait, Putin will continue to kill Ukrainians with impunity.
Every day the Ukrainian people resist, alone. Putin's war against them will become more violent. The targets will become softer. More civilians will be targeted and will die. More infrastructure will be destroyed. Putin will stop at nothing to destroy the will of the Ukrainian people.
And if Putin prevails in his war against Ukraine... Well, if that happens I'd hate to be Latvia. Or Lithuania. Or Estonia. Poland and Czechoslovakia may not even be safe from Putin's aggression. USSR v.2
This has happened before. Same part of the world. It isn't Jews this time, but it's the same. Putin is thumbing his nose at the world right now, daring us to get involved.
And while we admit that the world is shrinking, that the economy is global, that diseases can affect every human being on the planet as fast as a jet can fly from point to point, we claim that the Ukrainian fight is not our fight.
But it is, whether we admit it or not. Vladimir Putin is a bad actor. He is a threat to world peace. And we're going to watch, like we watched Hitler in the 30s. Because Ukraine doesn't belong to our Home Owners Association.
Watching the events in Ukraine right now is, to me, like watching a bully beat the life out of my younger brother and me being unable to step in and prevent it.
Anyway.
Peace
