#1 This:

It is difficult to plumb the depths of cynicism that fires the Biden Administration’s motions with respect to Ukraine. On the one hand, we are being invited to join in a grandiose morality play in which the great white-hatted forces of the West talk endlessly about peace and democracy while waging or at least fomenting war.

On the other hand, the war drums drown out the cries of ordinary people, those millions of people Hillary Clinton and her ilk dismiss as “deplorable,” who acknowledge Putin’s crimes but also acknowledge Ukraine’s deep corruption and totalitarian leanings and wonder why we are strangling ourselves to intervene in that battle.

#2 I live in a red state where we had comparably fewer Covid restrictions, but the ones we did have were accepted almost without any noticable fight. I don't share the writers assertion that there's a lot of fight left in the American people. In fact I believe it to be the opposite--a *significant* majority of the American people will do exactly what they are told to do.

#3 I agree. Same here in Britain. Also Australia and Canada. The English-speaking peoples no longer take their stand for freedom, "as in olden times"
