Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not some stand-alone crisis that started in late February, but rather a much bigger picture that’s coming together. A picture made up of hundreds of puzzle pieces that tell a story. A story of greed, power and ambition. A story of lawlessness and fraud. A story of weakness, and yes, a story of treason. We might never know everything that happened, but we can start by acknowledging what we do know as it comes into focus. We can no longer refuse to see what is right in front of us simply because we wish it wasn’t true. Intellectual honesty demands we see these connections so we can become singularly focused on defeating Putin and his anti-democratic coalition worldwide, even if many of his collaborators are American citizens themselves.
