She had warned about the true nature of the russian regime and urged that it not be allowed to continue until it was too late. Western leaders chose to listen to the appeasers—or succumbed to corruption. 8308141

Svend Robinson @svendrobinson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Happy to John. My family left the US to come to Canada, to Burnaby, when I was a boy, to protest an immoral US war in Vietnam. Like many Americans who came to Canada at that time. And long ago I formally renounced my US citizenship. I'm a proud Canadian. 230
