he liberal democracies of the world appear to be coalescing into a united front to face down the increasing number of illiberal democracies and outright autocracies that have sprouted during the last couple of decades. The world it seemed had been tacitly endorsing dictators and autocrats.
With Russia's invasion of Ukraine however, freedom-loving people the world over are seeing first-hand, the dangers that tyrants pose not just to their own population but also to those of neighboring countries. Russia's military is accused of committing atrocities against defenseless civilians in Ukraine. Atrocities that since World War II, mankind thought it would never witness again.
Freedom-loving people across the globe must now unite to rid the world of all tyrants, fascists, autocrats, and dictators. They have no place in humanity's future. Like Russia's Vladimir Putin, they must be ostracized and their countries kept isolated from the rest of the free world. Cut off from global trade and commerce, and shunned by democracies, their regimes will eventually wither and die.
