The NYT’s Peter Baker has a good analysis of the Orwellian-like revisionism coming out of the White House these days regarding Ukraine.  … I can barely read about the subject without feeling sadness – sadness for both Ukraine and America. … Ukraine may soon lose much, if not all, of its sovereign independence. Meanwhile, an American leader has clearly broken with the ideals that have guided, if imperfectly at times, U.S. foreign policy since World War II. I grew up with those proud ideals. They’re now in shambles.

Fyi – For those who agree that Zelensky is a “dictator,” please note that Britain’s Parliament suspended general elections during WWII, only resuming them in 1945, two months after VE Day. I guess that made Winston Churchill a “dictator” too, right? … I shouldn’t even have to point this out. But there it is.
