Your votes in 2020 prevented this dystopian future. Ukraine finished what COVID started – dissolving Republican unity, which will not reconstitute until Trump is a fading orangeish memory.
We would have Trump tweeting heroic memes of an ascendant, emboldened Putin, and mean caricatures of Zelensky. Trump would delight in seeing Zelensky and his family “getting their due.” But we also have to realize, no, maybe without the US sending weps in 2022, Ukraine would have still kept fighting – because the US HAD been training its troops since 2014. I’d put it at 50-50. Poland and a few neighbors would have stepped in. But regardless, many many more lives would have been lost, whether a sovereign nation was put to cinder, or not
“Zelensky, his wife, and his children would have been murdered by one of the hit squads that roamed the capital city. The Ukrainian state would have been taken over by the collaborators who had already chosen their Kyiv apartments.
Ukraine would now be pockmarked with the concentration camps, torture chambers, and makeshift prisons that have been discovered in Bucha, Izyum, Kherson, and all the other territories temporarily occupied by Russia and liberated by the Ukrainian army. A generation of Ukrainian writers, artists, politicians, journalists, and civic leaders would already be buried in mass graves. Ukrainian books would have been removed from schools and libraries. The Ukrainian language would have been suppressed in all public spaces. Hundreds of thousands more Ukrainian children would have been kidnapped and transported to Russia or trafficked farther around the world.”
“On the other side of the world, Chinese plans to invade Taiwan would be well underway, because Beijing would assume that an America unwilling to defend a European ally, and now totally bogged down in a long-term battle against an emboldened Russia, would never go out of its way to help an island in the Pacific. The Iranian mullahs, equally cheered by Russia’s success and Ukraine’s defeat, would have boldly announced that they had finally acquired nuclear weapons. From Venezuela to Zimbabwe to Myanmar, dictatorships around the world would have tightened their regimes and stepped up the persecution of their opponents, now certain that the old rules—the conventions on human rights and genocide, the laws of war, the taboo against changing borders by force—no longer applied. From Washington to London, from Tokyo to Canberra, the democratic world would be grimly facing up to its obsolescence.”
And Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Boebert would be doing the same to America.
