(#4767) The pariah putin

      No doubt putin will be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life if attacks Ukraine. Never again will he be allowed into civilized society without the risk of grave harm. He has done this to himself and must now be restricted to his own borders where even there he will have some risk. Such is the fate of bullies who kill for their own ambitions. Same with trump as he is bunkered down in his hotel with his own fears for letting Covid kill hundreds of thousands with little care to warn or stop it. He knows he did that and he knows there are many who know he knew that was his political calculus. 
     President Biden has shown how a real president took on Covid with care for all citizens, not just his own ambitions. Not the same with putin. He has amassed too may troops on another country's border for no other purpose than to invade. For now putin has been caused to pause by Biden and his relentless international campaign to confront putin in every avenue of society which has putin doubting himself as he clearly is delayed in his murderous agenda. Regardless of whether putin invades the sovereign nation of Ukraine, he has shown himself for who he is and there is no turning the clock back on that. That putin may decide in the long run not to invade Ukraine is irrelevant to how he will be viewed going forward in time.
     Pariahs like putin, and trump, need to be shunned in whatever form is necessary to nullify them. They cannot be allowed to present themselves into the world as anything other than despicable horrendous figures. They also cannot be allowed to defecate from their mouths the diseases of their minds and souls. Our world is hard enough to exist in without those who would make it harder for any human being to be free and have basic human rights. We here in America espouse the ideal of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and when there are those who would deny and destroy that principle then our duty to humanity is to stop those who would hinder or destroy our fundamental ideal.
