CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 17, 2022
THE DEFINITION OF BRAVERY IS WHEN ONE IS WILLING TO DIE FOR A CAUSE THAT IS RIGHT. UKRANIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY ONCE AGAIN DEMONSTRATED BRAVERY IN HIS ADDRESS YESTERDAY TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
HE THANKED PRESIDENT BIDEN AND CONGRESS FOR THE HELP THEY HAVE ALREADY PROVIDED, BUT SAID MORE IS NEEDED. IN AN APPEAL FOR A NO-FLY ZONE, HE RECALLED AIR ATTACKS ON PEARL HARBOR AND SEPTEMBER 11.
HE OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE TO A NO-FLY ZONE, ASKING AMERICA TO PROVIDE DEFENSIVE AIRCRAFT THAT UKRANIANS COULD USE. HE CALLED ON ALL U.S. COMPANIES TO LEAVE RUSSIA AND SAID THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN INCOME.
ZELENSKY PROPOSED THE CREATION OF A NEW INSTITUTION TO HELP PREVENT WARS, BECAUSE OTHERS HAVE FAILED. THAT’S BECAUSE OF SINFUL HUMAN NATURE. JESUS SAID THERE WILL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS UNIL HE COMES AGAIN.
HE LIKENED HIS FIGHT TO DEFEND FREEDOM IN UKRAINE TO THE NEED TO DEFEND FREEDOM EVERYWHERE. HE WAS RIGHT TO DO SO BECAUSE FREEDOM COSTS AND MUST BE DEFENDED.
THE VIDEO OF DEAD PEOPLE, INCLUDING CHILDREN, AND THE WANTON DESTRUCTION OF CIVILIAN BUILDINGS WAS POWERFUL. HE MADE HIS CASE. WILL IT BE ENOUGH? I’M CAL THOMAS.
