Why the World Can’t Afford to Play Games with War Criminals
While I respect the use of free speech in others, I can’t stay silent on this anymore. I have a right to free speech too.
The level of delusion in those who praise Trump and Vance’s treatment of Zelenskyy is actually astounding.
Let’s be clear: Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn’t a “cosplayer.” He’s a wartime leader who stayed in Kyiv while Russian missiles rained down, leading his country through an unprovoked invasion by a dictator who wants Ukraine wiped off the map. Meanwhile, Trump—who actually cosplayed as a strongman for four years—spent his presidency fawning over Putin and is now actively working to reward Russia’s war crimes.
Trump and Vance didn’t “discipline” Zelenskyy—they humiliated America on the world stage. They sided with Putin, insulted an ally fighting for survival, and told Ukraine to surrender to a genocidal regime. That’s not strength. That’s cowardice.
The people who fall for this nonsense—who think betraying allies and appeasing authoritarian thugs makes America “tough”—are the same ones who cheered when Trump let Putin’s troops roll into Syria, who ignored his praise of Kim Jong-un, and who pretended his business deals with China didn’t happen.
The reality is simple: Trump and Vance didn’t put “America First.” They put Putin First. And history will remember them—and their supporters—for exactly what they are.
Please note: I am not a registered Democrat. I’m looking at Trump and Vance as people and leaders, not based on their political affiliation. And I’ve criticized Joe Biden as well. In my opinion, at a deeper level this is a character and integrity issue, not a political issue.
Check out my post on ten reasons why Donald Trump falls short as a leader, which went viral. I’m an author, blogger, speaker, and workplace rights advocate. I’m known for telling the truth and standing for what’s right, even when others vehemently disagree with what I say. On Friday, April 18th, I’ll be launching my 4th book, The Courage to Leave: Breaking Free from Toxic Workplaces. Stay tuned.
