Protest

There is a growing number of people within the country who are uncomfortable with the war in Ukraine but for the most part they are keeping quiet about their concern. This is especially true for Biden supporters as he is seen as the hawk in chief. This past week it appears that some dove with access to classified documents leaked some information that would be considered pro Russian. This is reminiscent of the Pentagon Papers during the Vietnam War. This is an inappropriate way to express displeasure with government policy. While it takes a certain amount of courage the best way is to speak out publicly and offer solutions. Vietnam protest which started small in 1965 came to a head in 1969 and this was with US troops on the ground. The protest about Ukraine will likely grow more slowly unless US troops get involved. Current US Troops in Ukraine is an open secret but they are small in number so the alarm has not been raised.
