My friend, a writer, texted last night from his trench to say a gentle goodbye. His unit is expecting an attack anytime, but they do not have the heavy artillery they need to repel the assault. I am thousands of miles away from Ukraine, on a six-city lecture tour across the United States, addressing public meetings and briefing members of Congress.
This might seem like hyperbole, but it isn't.
The fight in Ukraine is 100% about the fight between #democracy and #authoritarianism. They fight so we don't have to.
Sending aid to #Ukraine is an investment in our own future.
We can't abandon democracy.
Ukraine is the front line. If we let them fall, the fight will come to us.
