Are they emboldened by the talk of reduced assistance to Ukraine from the United States, U.K., Poland, and other NATO nations? Or are they simply savage, murderous barbarians, intent on taking as many innocent lives as possible in their mad lust for land and power? And should we even be talking about “they” . . . or just “he”?

While our Congress spends its time arguing like children over which former Speaker gets to sit in what office, funding for Ukraine assistance sits on a back burner . . . and people die. While Slovakia votes for a party whose leader is openly and proudly pro-Putin . . . people die. And while Turkey’s President Erdogan unashamedly cozies up to the killer in the Kremlin . . . people die.

We, the United States of America, are supposed to be the world’s leader, not only economically, but morally as well. Just saying we stand behind Ukraine isn’t nearly enough; we need to back up our words with actions. Congress needs to get off its collective ass and get back to the real work for which it was elected. And President Biden — I don’t presume to tell you how to do your job, sir — but perhaps a bit less Mr. Nice Guy and a lot more action . . .

Just sayin’ . . .
