Foreign policy weakness allowed Russian invasion of Ukraine
President Biden March 26 speech in Poland: "Ukraine and its people are on the frontlines fighting to save their nation. And their brave resistance is part of a larger fight for an essential democratic principles that unite all free people: the rule of
law; free and fair elections; the freedom to speak, to write, and to assemble; the freedom to worship as one chooses; freedom of the press.[Meuser's reply]: Dear Brandon,
Just writing you a quick note. Words have meaning. When you express concern
that arming a "Resistance" in Ukraine could have consequences, you are using the wrong term. The government of Ukraine and its military is not a "Resistance." They are defending themselves from an invasion. By referring to a "Resistance," you signal
your belief that the Russians have already won.
Your foreign policy weakness encouraged Russia to attack Ukraine. Your use of the wrong terms will only encourage them more.
Signed,
Someone Who Doesn't Like Unnecessary Wars
