it's unfortunate when you have lousy neighbors. to be subjected to a bully like putin. russia is what you get with a neighbor with a totalitarian government--a bully.
I feel for the Ukrainian people--but, they do have choices--hard choices.
- they can leave the country.
- they can stay and fight the bully.
- they can stay and let others of their countrymen fight the bully.
these were the hard choices that faced people in this country in the 1770s. some chose to leave the country. some chose to fight england's totalitarian government. others chose to stay and let others do the fighting.
I sympathize with those Ukrainians who feel that they have to leave. it's hard to leave your home. but sometimes you have to do what you need to do to get away from a bully.
I admire those who choose to stay and fight. you face a powerful bully. odds are not in your favor. I wish you luck.
I also sympathize with those who choose to stay while their countrymen fight the bully. you could get caught in the crossfire and lose everything.
sadly, the world will always have its bullies.
