What point in time will Ukraine become a stronger military foe than Russia? That is my question because with the successes Ukraine is having compared to the defeats Russia is suffering the tipping point is nearly even square now. Russia had a massive military personnel and equipment advantage back in February 2022 so them attacking and invading Ukraine from a military standpoint seemed to be a task that was without much difficulty. Yet it isn't just military strength that prevails in struggles to survive as Ukraine has shown. It is the will to live and fight when the odds are long against the weaker opponent.
More than a year later the proof of the underdog in the battle is proved as Ukraine has girded itself against the Russians internally within Ukraine and outwardly in the world. The west has supplied Ukraine with enough munitions and equipment to stave off the Russian invasion and now the west is helping Ukraine push the Russian horde out of Ukraine altogether. The steely nerve and fighting will of the Ukrainian citizenry has been a marvel to behold given the reality of what is happening there. The life and death struggle Ukraine is exemplifying has been a rallying cry for all who would defend democracy.
Even here in the States we see the influence of the Ukrainian resolve to defend democracy spill out into our own political landscape. Those republicans who still side with putin to end Ukrainian democracy are finding that their own little coup here is being rebuffed and demolished through the rule of law. The insurrectionists of January 6, 2020 are being held to account and the political instigators of it are close to being indicted. Democracy is winning where it is being attacked and that my friends that is how it should be. Democracy includes all of it's citizens in the struggle of life whereas the putin's and trump's of the world want to be tyrants over all. All of us are democracy and only a few are tyrants. We democracy loving souls will stop the tyrants wherever they raise their demented attempts to rule!
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
