One of the most powerful and inspirational speeches ever given.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plea for help
One of the most powerful and inspirational speeches ever given (see below). A historic speech that should bring shame and disgrace to government leaders that did nothing to stop Russia's barbaric attack on Ukraine, a sovereign and democratic country. The world needs to hear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s plea for help—and act.
Unfortunately, the powers that could have prevented the invasion turned their backs on the Ukrainian people. Biden, in his foolish press briefings, gave Putin a green light. Why? Weak (woke progressive) governments and their climate change policies. Policies that have resulted in significantly higher energy prices. Putin's military aggression is, in large measure, financed by the West’s irrational and counter-productive attacks against fossil fuels and producers. The world watches the brutal aggression in horror and weak governments blather on about sanctions—after the fact.
Biden and other western leaders allowed this to happen. Their shame and disgrace are wholly inadequate given the loss of life and destruction in Ukraine. Biden's weakness increases the odds that America will be provoked by Putin's aggression into an existential conflict.
“We know for sure that we don’t need the war. Not a Cold War, not a hot war. Not a hybrid one. But if we’ll be attacked by the [enemy] troops, if they try to take our country away from us, our freedom, our lives, the lives of our children, we will defend ourselves. Not attack, but defend ourselves. And when you will be attacking us, you will see our faces, not our backs, but our faces.”
