The “West” does abuse power and will continue to do so. Right now the west is throwing Ukraine under the Russian bus by refusing to even consider negotiations and edging us all closer to nuclear annihilation.

Talk about abuse of power.

Ukraine, let us remember, is not some poor innocent little victim here either. After all, this was thought to be the most corrupt country in Eastern Europe prior to 2014 and adding the role the Azov Battalion has played and continues to play in furthering a white supremacist agenda, it’s clear that there are no Good Guys in this mess.

But we’re all tip-toeing around these inconvenient facts because to say any of this out loud is to invite ignorant accusations of “doing Putin’s work for him”.

Thanks, Elisa, I really appreciate your perspective here.
