(#5233) The tyrant putin has more than met his match with Zelenskyy

      The absolute necessity of Ukraine's Zelenskyy to prevail over the Russian tyrant putin is because democracy is on the line. That is why so many democratic nations are supplying Zelenskyy with munitions and other nation saving supplies. That is why so many nations have taken in Ukrainian refugees. Because democracy is on the line. The rule of tyranny must never be allowed to flourish beyond any boundary where it is allowed. The civilized world needs democracy so that those cultures within any democracy have a chance to find equality and opportunity.
     A world that has a full democratic system to it is a better world for all. Where no one is marginalized due to racism or sexism. A world where value is sought out in the individual through effort, merit, and talent. Not some notion of advantages and privileges for some as deserves because of favoritism or nepotism. Tyranny is one or more men who think they can rule our lives under their interpretation of how we should live. I will never have any of that. Instead what I will have 100% of a system that gives all of us the choices to make to determine our own lives. There have to be boundaries in a democracy and that is good because so many of us have different paths to follow.
     Our paths are our choice though and following them is not for some other to decide. With a Ukrainian victory over putin and an end to tyranny moving forward, democracy establishes itself in a more dominating role. Our world is not together yet under the same freedoms and liberties but we will get much closer once putin is stopped in his tracks and Zelenskyy can burgeon new relationships in his sphere. I can envision the end of putin and the breakup of the Russian federation. If that happens then the possibilities for democracy increase tremendously. Once the Russian people understand the value of democracy and its potential they too will want what we have and the memory of putin and his brutish rule will be just bad memories from the past.
