LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
By Joe Bialek
This letter is in response to the articles covering the the events leading up to the invasion
of Ukraine by Russia. (Editor's note: Russian missiles hit the capital city of Ukraine on Thursday as the war between Russia and Ukraine rages on)
As a citizen of and believer in democracy, I applaud the efforts of the
Ukrainian people. Their efforts are similar to what is happening in many
other parts of the world.
Believe it or not, one thing that trumps capitalism and political
correctness in the United States is the right to have one's voice heard.
This is the foundation of which our democracy is built on. The Ukrainian
people should continue to defy Vladimir Putin's powerful armed forces
so that Ukrainian democracy can continue to thrive. It is unfortunate that
the
United States compromised on one of its most fundamental values in order to
protect its economic interests in Eastern Europe; something that happens all
too often domestically as well. It is not the Ukrainian people that are
attempting to expand NATO power but rather it is Vladimir Putin who has
engaged in intimidation to prevent the will of the people from being heard.
Why else would he stoop to such underhanded tactics to block various means
of communication among the citizens of Ukraine? Why is Russia returning
to the Cold War utilizing such political strong-arm tactics as the threat of
violence?
Vladimir Putin, you have had over twenty years to acknowledge Ukraine and
have failed them by your own choosing. The days of the despotic regime are
finally
coming to an end as it appears the desire for freedom will continue to sweep
among the East European nations. Accordingly, let the call go forth among
all citizens of Ukraine that your brothers and sisters of democracy from all
over the world are with you during every trial and tribulation you may
encounter during this crisis. To the people of Ukraine, the trumpet of
freedom beckons you to rise in protest and ensure your voice to preserve
your sacred heritage, promote your children's future and obtain the
blessings of liberty we all cherish.
Ukraine, the hour of your redemption is at hand. As you the rightful
citizens move forward to reclaim your own country, rise and strike! In the
name of those who were murdered fighting for everyone's rights, rise and
strike! To push back this evil regime, rise and strike! Let no one
continue to fear this man. Let every Ukrainian be strong and fight on for
their freedom. Rise and strike!
Vladimir Putin, no Borsch for you little weasel...let Ukraine go!
