Here are a few questions that are now hard to escape:

If one believes national borders are sacrosanct, why not respect Ukraine’s?

If the answer is that one solely cares about Making America Great Again, then why all the interest in boosting the European far right, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, India’s Narendra Modi, and even the right-wing ultranationalists of Israel?

If one hates and fears foreign “dictators” (see their attacks on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau), why all the love for Putin?

And if one exalts rugged manliness, has there ever been a better example of that than the courage being exhibited by Ukraine?
