(#5492) It is hard to be happy when Ukraine is suffering

      I have much to be grateful for in my life and just the thought of what is going on recently with me is enough to bring a smile to my face. Then I am quickly brought back to reality with the lack of Ukraine aid from what should have been a no brainer republican party ally. Well it is hard to consider the republican party an ally of Ukraine as Ukrainians fight to the death for their chance of creating their own democracy. Let me say that again this way. As Ukraine is being attacked daily on all its fronts from the tyrant putin who would destroy Ukraine as a sovereign nation, republicans do nothing to help Ukraine thwart off the constant ravages that Russia utilizes.
     So instead of standing up to help Ukraine defend its democracy, republicans are sitting down and turning their heads so that they can ignore the death that is now coming to the bravest fighting force for democracy the world has seen since we Americans in the second world war. What our great grandparents and grandparents did last century to defeat the fascists like putin was magnificent and heralded several generations of growth toward democratic values. Well the republican party is no longer on the side of helping democracy flourish and instead they are preparing to help destroy democracy by denying promised US aid to Ukraine.
     Because this aid is now questionable in helping Ukraine fight back the onslaught of fascism that is coming out of Russia the Ukrainians are about to be overwhelmed because they are not of the same resources that Russia has been able to secure. The dictators of the world are helping putin spread fascism because they know that democracy hurts them. The republican party has no excuse for what it is doing to destroy democracy other than to side with fascism. This is indeed a very dark chapter in the history of America and it is the republican party that is coloring it so.
