This is our legacy?
They are invading their neighboring states, controlling elections and annexing territory. They are killing civilians and kidnapping children. Thousands are being killed. They are claiming historical hegemony – the Warsaw Pact.
We are sinking boats and killing their crews. We are claiming that we own their natural resources. We are boarding their ships and stealing cargo. Hundreds are dying. Thousands could die. We are claiming historical hegemony – the Monroe Doctrine.
Stop! This is centuries-old thinking -- barbaric decision-making.
They are wrong.
We are wrong.
The parallels are frighteningly clear.
Stop. Stop now.
