Zelensky invokes Judaism to rally support for Ukrainian cause
With online posts in Hebrew and appeals to Jews to "cry out" in response to Russia's invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invoked his faith to rally support for his embattled country.…
I've seen many people calling Ukraine a democracy and not the corrupt country that it is.
It is a Democracy, just not a very good one yet.
If some of the comments in that video are true, jailing opponents and controlling the media isn't very democratic.
I Am Asking for a Coherent Set of Consistent Principles That Are Equally Applied to the United States and Russia
If you engage in moral introspection, you could ask yourself how the United States might react to an ever-expanding Atlantic Anti-American Alliance, and specifically to Mexico or Canada joining it. Does any remotely honest adult think we would ever, ever, ever permit such a scenario? I certainly hope not. After all, we don’t even really need to imagine whether the United States would tolerate such a thing. We have this concept called the Monroe Doctrine, which refers to America’s assumption that it gets to act as a singular omnipotent hegemon in the western hemisphere, literally half the globe. Countries in the Americas simply are not permitted to enter into military alliances with American antagonists. That we reserve for ourselves the limitless right to dictate the affairs of other countries, in our own hemisphere or the other, is such a deeply-ingrained element of the American psyche that people who pride themselves on their independence and critical thinking never spend a moment in their lives really grappling with it.
Of all the immense hypocrisies that are being trafficked in these days, the constant repetition of the term “self-determination” is the most absurd. Self-determination is a moral and political principle; moral and political principles only have meaning when they are applied equally. Have we extended self-determination towards Cuba with 60+ years of crushing embargos and constant attempts to destabilize their government? Are we extending self-determination to Venezuela, where a popular government that’s perceived as antagonistic to American interests has been undermined in every conceivable way? (But let me guess: the base of support for the Maduro government on the Venezuelan street is not as important as a small number of wealthy expats who support neoliberal capitalism, and the person who gets to decide who should control Venezuela’s future is, oddly… you.)
