Until this week Vladimir Putin would have been remembered as an incompetent dictator who was nostalgic for the Soviet Union and dreamed of achieving a “greater Russia.” After this week he will be remembered as an incompetent bully who took his nation down the wrong path, created millions of refugees, and started a long slide into darkness. He’ll be in the group that includes Tojo, Mussolini, Franco and Idi Amin.
Volodymyr Zelensky, on the other hand, will be remembered as a man who stood up to a massive attack on his country. If he is killed, and that is likely, he will be remembered as a martyr to democratic government and human rights.
People like Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump, who back Putin, will be looked upon with the contempt they deserve.
