Whatever the outcome of the Ukrainian War for Independence is, the folkloric actions of its leaders are already cementing themselves as legend in the next pages of history. The epicenter of what actual adult leadership looks like has coalesced around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who, whatever his vices were prior to the invasion, has shown his true character by standing, in the literal sense, shoulder to shoulder with fellow citizens in the battle-scarred streets of Kiev. When offered a coward’s evacuation by the American architects of our unconditional surrender in Afghanistan, Zelenskyy famously replied, “I need ammunition, not a ride”.
Meanwhile, on our socially distanced shores, it was Applesauce Hour at the White House, where Joe Biden was led meanderingly from the activity hall bingo tournament to a microphone to address a roomful of sycophants we still quaintly refer to as “journalists”. There, he promised to hit Russia with the roughest toughest sanctions y’all have ever seen, man. He then took the opportunity, during the biggest foreign policy crisis in decades, to spend the weekend…meeting with intelligence officials? Strategizing with NATO allies? Nope, he was whisked away to Delaware, where he was allowed to play in the tub with his favorite bath toy Duckie.
Back in Ukraine, Zelenskyy is far from alone in his devotion to duty. Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko has also chosen to stay and fight for his city and country. “We’re ready to fight and ready to die”, he recently told Anderson Cooper, who couldn’t muster the discipline to at least nod along in feigned comprehension rather than maintain his scowl of half-confusion, half-contempt for a concept so antiquated as patriotism. Does any American honestly believe that Washington, D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser would exhibit courage like this if Russian tanks were rolling through?

The American left, which controls education, entertainment and news media is anti American, and teaches hate. That’s a tough hill to overcome.
Agree, and its going to take more than “pushback” to overcome that hill.
Too many people, including on this site, confuse politics with the nation.
The logic seems to be:
* Biden is bad
* Biden is the American president
* Therefore America is bad
We have our flaws, and the current resident of the White House is one of them, but the USA is still the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
The thought did cross my pea brain. I know folks who would still defend her.
“Agree, and its going to take more than “pushback” to overcome that hill.”
Fact. Not sure how far it has to go, but the left will not be beaten by a few lost skirmishes. They are at war with us, whether we choose to participate or not.
Excellent points. Sure to drive Putin Puffers crazy.
Time to play this classic song by Lee Greenwood:

God Bless the U.S.A. (featuring Home Free, Lee Greenwood and The United States Air Force Band)
[EXCERPT]
That I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land
God bless the USA
Thank you.
Our leaders are importing a new electorate, that’s how much they hate us.
Defense of the Reich!
But the American left if utterly enthralled with Ukraine and NATO.
“But the American left if utterly enthralled with Ukraine and NATO.”
The left is completely Machiavellian. Zalenskyy was a puppet, and a clown when he said Trump’s call was perfect. Now, he’s a hero to the left. Because the left needs a war to try to get any chance in November.
Whatever works.
True, but not this junta and it’s globalist woke WEF globohomo DOD and CIA. Only an idiot cheers for them because they loved what America was. Amazingly some transfer that emotion even to NATO and Ukraine.
Near total opposition to DC is patriotic virtue today. Point me to something coming out of DC that you point to with pride.
I haven’t lost my patriotism. Our battle will be within to purge this country of all the Left. By any means necessary.
Why fight the King and his White Coats if the guy who got robbed is holding rallies and talking about the next election instead of a rifle?
The undeniable fact that .... that level of devotion and loyalty from her citizenry that Ukraine does now. But not anymore .... was demonstrated last year during the riots, when politicians sided with the rioters and did nothing as property was destroyed and people were assaulted and killed.
It was demonstrated November 2020 when a handful of state legislative bodies either took it upon themselves or followed orders to make sure the one guy that actually gave a sh*t was not re-elected.
It was demonstrated last Jan 2021 when the legislative body in Georgia allowed a corrupt election process to continue, thereby welcoming Democrat control of the US Senate.
Of course, I and most everyone else on here could go on, no need to anymore.
Liberals will always tell you that they don’t hate America, right before they explain to you why they hate America.
The author hysterically references Zelensky’s Dukakis moments and a prime propaganda moment as evidence of ‘devotion’?
Didn’t see that coming.
/s
They average liberal in America loves who their television tells them to love and hate who their television tells them to hate.
