Russia’s attack on Ukraine seems to be a bit of a Rorschach test for Americans who have the luxury of freely voicing opinions. A Republican candidate for the United States Senate voiced that she identifies more with the Christian values of Vladimir Putin than with Joe Biden. Solme television hosts seem to say something similar. “Genius,” our most recent former president sarcastically called the invasion. These aren’t healthy human responses.
As it happens, Joe Biden’s position on abortion grieves my heart. But I don’t want the Ukrainian people to pay for it. I can’t help but see Putin in the lens of recent history and what the Ukrainian people have had to endure. There’s more to the world than the American context.
