There's not a lot of good here. The situation on the ground is heartbreaking. Watching videos this morning as guns are distributed to citizens off the back of a truck. Watched a video of a man saying goodbye to his wife and children, who are fleeing Kyiv.
But war has a way of clarifying and focusing the mind. Many of these people who called Trudeau a dictator are the same one's who love Putin. Some, like Trump, Russia Carlson and our own Theo Fleury, have gleefully jumped on board with Putin--you know, an actual dictator.
The Ukraine invasion has just started. Soon, gangs of Russia Special Forces with their list of names will be hunting in Kyiv. Things will get much bloodier and it is my hope that the scales will fall from the eyes of many as they see these whiners comparing Trudeau to Hitler are backing an autocrat invading a free country.
For once social media might actually be a good thing, as it might be helpful in bringing atrocities and illegal acts in this conflict to light, which may help the West grow a pair of balls and find some way to deal with Putin besides these useless sanctions.
