The soul of the West hangs in the balance, as Russia bombs Ukraine

To punish Russia for brutalizing the Ukrainian people is one thing. To stop Russia is another. So what will it be for Ukraine? Cable TV and sympathy? The Libya or the Syria treatment? 

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, pictured March 3, 2022, says if Ukraine goes down, it’s not just the end of one country. It is the end of the world. It is true that war leaders deal in hyperbole, but Zelensky has a point. As he said, Ukraine is the border between the civilized world, and what used to be known as the evil empire; between democracy and brutal dictatorship. Screen capture image courtesy of France24
