Yesterday, in Ukraine vs Russia, Pt 1, we talked about a couple aspects of the Russian invasion. I had originally five or six thoughts, and decided to break them down into smaller posts, so here’s a couple more. Granted, the first one is soft…
Incidental(?), but Interesting Similarities
The past five-ish years there have been a lot of talk regarding Putin and Donald Trump, Russian interference into the 2016 election, and so on. And recently there have been people talking about Trump’s recent praise for Putin regarding the invasion. I am not going to go into those here, those are topics for another conversation, but on February 24, 2022, Putin said…
Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a dire threat to Western nations on Thursday morning, saying they would face “consequences greater than any you have faced in history” if they become involved with his invasion of Ukraine.
Does that sound kind of familiar? Why yes, yes it does. In 2017 then-president Trump said…
“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen,” Trump told reporters at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump says North Korea will be met with ‘fire and fury’ if it threatens U.S.
Does this similarity mean anything? Meh, I don’t know. But it stuck out to me. At the very least it demonstrates a similar mindset between the two.
Volodymyr Zelensky is The Man
Zelensky, Ukraine’s president has taken leadership to a new level. Not only does he talk the talk, he walks the walk. He’s out there, literally leading and inspiring his people. He is not baking down. He is not caving in. Read this opinion piece by someone who is there and knows. They put it much better than I can…
When the United States offered to evacuate him amid concerns for his safety, he replied: “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.”
Wow. If that is not inspiring I don’t know what is, and from what I am seeing lately he is indicative of the Ukrainian people. Simply put, Ukrainians are some bad-asses.
