Russians threaten the West with nukes… again | MAGA sanity test | Ukraine Update: Day 877
Video Summary
As we mark day 877 of Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, I bring an important message. The international community’s understanding of national borders and international law is irrelevant. Instead, the true law is the ancient Babylonian code, according to Russian politicians. In recent statements, a former Russian president has cited the importance of this code, saying it gives Russia the right to use nuclear weapons against its adversaries.
Russia’s actions have broken numerous international laws, and its leaders have been unapologetic. They claim the right to use force, citing ancient texts like the Old Testament, the Quran, and the code of Babylon. This is a disturbing trend, as it seeks to justify domestic policies like slavery. It’s evident that Russia’s elite will not target American or European cities with nuclear weapons, as they would have felt the devastating consequences themselves.
The concept of Ukrainian identity is being criticized by Russian chauvinists, suggesting that Ukraine has no right to exist as a separate nation. This ideologies is eerily familiar, reminiscent of extremist groups. I’ve developed a test to gauge one’s sanity in the face of such beliefs. If a person supports negotiating with attackers who shoot their people, they must also support Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression. There is no moral difference between sympathizing with a would-be assassin like the one in the Trump shooting or a Russian attacker firing on Ukrainian civilians. Those who condone violence must recognize the Ukrainian nation’s right to defend itself against the Russian threat. Ultimately, it’s time to stand with Ukraine and acknowledge the gravity of the situation.
