quote:
We should be defending our interests in Ukraine both by quickly imposing economic sanctions against the government officials responsible for human rights abuses and by offering mutually-beneficial economic cooperation in the event that real democratic reforms are implemented.---Ted Cruz
comment:
I like Ted Cruz in some respects. But not all. He has a disturbing tendency to think along the lines that has gotten his party in a lot of trouble recently.
We do not need to intervene in Ukraine. Frankly, it is hard to know what we should do here. We've got our own problems, most of which is the totally destructive influence of the left upon our traditions and culture. Cruz should be addressing that.
Sure, we should not like to see Ukrainians beaten up just because they want freedom. But we can't intervene militarily nor should we do anything economic. Besides, not everything that Putin is doing is bad. There is way too much tendency to think along old Cold War themes that are now hopelessly out of date.
If Putin is against homosexuality, then he can't be all bad. Ukraine really shouldn't emulate Western Europe and its fascination with cultural perversions that will only destroy its people. It will destroy Ukraine, if they adopt their ways.
We can offer our moral support. That much we can do. If Putin goes too far, we can respond to that. Otherwise, we should stay out of it.
