There are so many that have posted opeds and comments here over the past weeks that now have egg, not only on their faces, but in their hair and filling their socks. Some may never have a normal presentation, having contorted themselves into tight, irretrievable human pretzels -- rashly jumping on the "We hate America, let me equivocate about Putin train."
The whys and wherefores hang from them like rotten fruit. Not because they were wrong but because they refused to place their proclamations in the very real context of murdered children and women and non-combatant men. The situation in Ukraine was simply too alluring and attractive for those that wanted and needed Ukraine to present as an easy validation of and protagonist in the exciting opera of their writings and agendas.
I know I will be attacked for saying this - Possibly accused of being a plant, deeply resented and the butt of enormous vitriol and character assassination. It has been sickening to read so much of what has been posted here. Not because it was absolutely wrong but because it was deeply dishonest as the work of thinking, caring, empathetic humans writing about the plight of other humans beings.
Peace,
