Putin carnage

There is one weapon that could turn the tide in the autocratic countries of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Cuba and that is a free press. How would the Russia people react if they could see the carnage in Ukraine, if the Chinese people could see how the Uighurs are being treated or the people in North Korea if they could see the life in South Korea. When Putin murdered civilians in Grozny, Chechnya and Aleppo, Syria the world was silent because there was no free press. If he takes control of Ukraine the press will once again be shut out and people will forget. This should be a reminder to the American people as to how precious the free press is and how social media represents a threat.
