I was gobsmacked by the writer’s rambling, misinformed opinions bashing Western democracies as “Karen elites” globally.
Outlandishly, she remarks Zelenskyy is being “indulged” by the West with “his never-ending wishlist of pricey deadly toys.”
Toys?
It’s no child’s play when 10,000 civilians are dead and Ukraine is fighting tooth-and-nail against Putin’s brutality. She chastises the West, accusing it of complacency and pursuing profits for the “military industrial complex” instead of peace. She offers no solutions on how peace would be achieved with this murderous dictatorship.
Additionally, she assumes (lacking any scientific evidence) that Covid vaccinations didn’t reduce illness and transmission, but that’s dead wrong (no pun intended). As a Brown University study found, “319,000 COVID-19 deaths could have been averted if all adults had gotten vaccinated.”

I understand the Star promoting “diversity of thought” to its readers, and I welcome that, but syndicated opinions should be based on facts and coherent ideas, not hearsay and fabrication.
