What Do We Need to do to be Worthy of Ukraine? asks George Packer in today's Atlantic.
I have believed from the beginning that Zelensky's Ukraine is fighting a proxy war for liberal democracy in Europe and the USA. But Packer challenges Americans not only to stick with the war for the long term, BUT most importantly, exorcise our own Russia-filia.
--The U.S. will never be a worthy friend to Ukraine unless the Republican Party purges itself of the poisonous influence of its Tucker Carlsons and Marjorie Taylor Greenes, and above all of Trump. (George Packer)
I just read an article in the NY times about how the War in the Ukraine is increasing our gas prices to $4 a gallon. (I live in OC CA $4 is so last fall) The author of the article states that the American people are wondering if their support of Ukraine is too expensive.
WTF!!!! There are dead children in the streets and NYT thinks opposing Russia's killing of civilians isn't worth paying more for gas. HELLO! It's gas companies that control gas prices. I don't hear anyone claiming they are bad for putting profits before human lives.
Was this an article by the editorial board? Furthermore, was it an opinion piece or a factual account? I agree that (most) people are being heartless if they oppose helping Ukraine on account of gas prices, but pointing out that it's making some Americans wary is just reporting the news. We shouldn't blame the messenger.
And I'll say that oil company greed outweighing dead Ukrainians is shameful but hardly surprising. It will keep happening as long as they have POTUS to take the flak for them.

It was The Morning by German Lopez. And, to be honest, he did lay a lot of the blame for higher prices on the suppliers.

Amen to that.
Tucker Carlson: Worse than Father Coughlin.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: Worse than Joseph McCarthy
Donald Trump: Worse than Charles Lindbergh, and almost the entire human race for that matter.
Donald Trump is the Jabba the Hut.
