First, I admit I’m not all that politically sophisticated, so bear with me….
Russia is not looking like the fearful evil powerhouse that the world has been led to believe. NATO countries are stepping up to provide military aid to Ukraine, Europe is blocking Russian access to SWIFT, and the Ukrainians are putting up more of a resistance than Putin anticipated.
Clearly, this a signal that the world will unify to oppose Russian aggression, but does it not also send a message to the other evil countries - Iran and China - that any aggressive action they take will be met with a strong backlash by good countries, such as the U.S. and those in Europe? Could all this serve to weaken our enemies?
