Where is the conversation around the morality within this choice?
The terrible news about the girls' school that got bombed, the death toll, the Americans that are coming back, the families who now no longer have their sons and daughters.
It's remarkable how quickly we have to change the narrative to the economic ramifications.
But there was no articulation as to what the risks are and morally where we're at with it.
And there's almost no better place to see that where Russia is now a part of this.
I've been getting the news updates how we are also taking back sanctions on Russian oil.
A week and a half after learning that Russia was collaborating with Iran in terms of information about America's positions, Ukraine is sending supplies to help us.
At which point, so we are...
We're helping Russia, but Russia's helping Iran, but we need to help Russia so that we can help better fight Iran.
We're eating our own tail here.
Or mostly we're flailing to try to find an economic solution to something that has also loosely been made as a moral necessity.
And yet, what is happening with Russia in and of itself is articulating there is no moral argument.
There is just a piecemeal argument
to try to make the buck.
It's like a thumbs up or thumbs down.
It's like, hey, we're living a little bit more of a moral life right now.
Should we go fill up on a little bit of that morality on taking care or kindness?
Can we get some more of that?
It's going cheap right now.
Somebody please articulate in simple ways what we believe in.
