I WATCHED IN DISMAY
as Brexit became a reality. This, even before I learned of the huge role Russia played in putting out the falsehoods and other disinformation that lay at the basis of the UK's lamentable choice.
I blamed, and still blame, the EU itself for not explaining the reasoning behind its existence to everywoman. It shouldn't take a degree in political science to understand the basic tenets of peacekeeping and prosperity-making that is the underpinning of the organization. The lack of PR is astounding, especially now when social media makes it so cheap and easy.
AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN--missed opportunity on an even grander and more tragic scale.
Where was, is! this august body of world leaders, supposedly dedicated to the common good, during the refugee crisis.
People are dying of the cold, starvation and disease. What better opportunity for a united front for humanitarian aid and beyond. Yet they bicker and deflect as if people weren't dying. They act like babies pushing away the pureed vegetables. While they ought to lead the way.
REALLY.. SHAME ON YOU. WHAT ARE YOU ALL GOOD FOR?
