Sheriff Toulon supplies bulletproof vests to Ukraine

BY RAYMOND JANIS JR.EDITOR@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Leaders gathered for a second straight week outside of the office Dr. David Buchin, director of bariatric surgery at Huntington Hospital and coordinator of the Long Island Ukraine Emergency Response Drive, to announce a new round of donations to the Ukrainian war front. Buchin and his wife, Helene, launched the supply drive last week. Helene Buchin recounted her husband’s flight from Uzbekistan, a former Soviet bloc nation, when he was very young. Having experienced Russian belligerence firsthand, the Buchins consider humanitarian aid to Ukraine as a family priority. “My husband is an American immigrant who fled Russia when he was 2 years old,” she said. “This cause is very much in our hearts.” Along with the thousands of pieces of essential supplies already donated, this week’s donation included tactical defensive equipment from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) announced that his office will donate nearly 450 bulletproof vests to protect the Ukrainian people in their armed struggle against the Russian invasion. “We stand with the people of Ukraine and want to help in any way that we can,” Toulon said. “I’m proud to announce that the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office has been able to step up and provide materials that can help keep

them safe.” College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving also joined the initiative. College Hunks representatives announced that the company would repurpose its moving trucks to transport the donated materials to a New York City processing facility. From there, they will be sent to New Jersey and finally Poland, where they will be distributed to the Ukrainians. Ted Panebianco, local co-owner of the College Hunks franchise, thanked the people of Long Island. He believes Long Islanders have once again demonstrated that they can answer the call whenever suffering people are in need. “Every time there is a chance to go out and help people, the Long Island community comes out in a big way and donates generously,” he said. “At College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving, our purpose is to move the world. We are honored and grateful to have this opportunity to do it in probably the biggest way we ever have.” Serge Sklyarenko, of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, has recently emerged as a visible figure of Ukrainian solidarity on Long Island. With a Ukrainian flag draped around his neck, he said the flag reflects his love of country and his close attachment to the cause of Ukrainian resistance. “It feels like I have a piece of Ukraine right next to me, that it’s close to my heart,” Sklyarenko said, adding, “I have a lot of family in Ukraine in many different cities. They have gone through rough times, going

in and out of bomb shelters. Some of my friends are on the front lines, some without any military experience.” While the faces surrounding him may change from week to week, Sklyarenko’s message remains firm and unaltered. He warns that the Ukrainian crisis points to the repetition of a dangerous historical precedent, a foreshadowing of all-out global conflict. “In 1939 Hitler attacked Poland, he did not stop,” he said. “I feel that Putin is doing something

similar. I don’t think he’s going to stop.” Sklyarenko said the Biden administration must adopt a tougher posture toward Russia, a foreign policy which includes a no-fly zone over Ukrainian airspace and the complete prohibition on the import of Russian oil.

One-on-one with Huntington’s parade marshal Dowling BY RAYMOND JANIS JR.EDITOR@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, recently spoke with The Times of Huntington & Northport about being named grand marshal of the 2022 Huntington St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will take place Sunday, March 13. Q: Before we get into the details of this year’s parade, could you discuss your own background? How did you get to where you are today? I was born in Ireland, and I left when I was young. Then I went to England to work in the steel factories. My dream was always to go to college, but we didn’t have the means to pay for it, so I had to figure out how to get the resources. When I came to the United States, I was 18 years old. I came by myself, and I worked on the West Side of Manhattan on the docks for a number of years. The first three years I would spend half the year working in New York and in the second half of the year, I would go back to Ireland and go to college — I was fortunate enough to get into college in Ireland. Of course, I had no money, so that’s the reason I had to continue working. After I graduated from college in Ireland, I came back to New York and continued working on the boats for a period longer. Then I worked in construction and in plumbing and other manual labor jobs that I did not mind doing at all. Then I went to Fordham University to get my masters. I went, obviously, part-time because I was working all the time. I graduated from Fordham University and after I graduated, I was fortunate enough for them to ask me to come back and teach a course. I taught a number of courses at Fordham. Eventually they asked me to come on full-time as a faculty member at Fordham University, at the Graduate School of Social Service at Lincoln Center. I eventually became the assistant dean of the graduate school, having an administrative role and a faculty role. I was at Fordham when Gov. Mario Cuomo got elected. His administration reached out to me to ask if I was interested in taking a job in government. I had not been involved in politics, I did not know the governor, but I am a risk-taker and I like new challenges, so I said yes. I ended up taking on a job in Albany and relatively quickly moved up the ranks. I eventually became the Director of Health, [Education] and Human Services of the State of New York. I was also the deputy secretary to the governor and his chief adviser on health and human

services. I did that for 12 years. I left Albany and then I was fortunate again. North Shore University Hospital reached out to me and asked if I was willing to join. North Shore, back at that point, was at the beginning stages of building a health care system. Subsequent to my arriving, we expanded through mergers with other hospitals. A couple of years later we merged with LIJ. Five years after I arrived at North Shore I became president and CEO. I’ve been president and CEO for 20 years. I’ve done manual labor; I’ve been in academia; I’ve been in government; I’ve been in the insurance industry; and I’ve been on the provider side. That’s a very quick snapshot of my career. Q: When did you first get involved with the Ancient Order of Hibernians? When were you selected as grand marshal of this year’s parade in Huntington? I’ve been involved off and on over the years with the Hibernians in New York City. Three years ago, the Huntington Hibernians reached out to me asking if I wanted to participate in the St. Patty’s Day Parade. I agreed. Then, of course, COVID hit and that changed everything, and it delayed everything. Fortunately, now with elements of COVID decreasing big time, hopefully we’ll have a good day this Sunday. The Hibernians do great work — long history, great legacy, great humanitarian organization and good people. They do

terrific work around the Huntington area, so I’m very, very proud to be a part of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and to be working with the Hibernians. Q: Given that you were on the front lines of the COVID pandemic, what does this year’s event mean for you? Well, we’re evolving into some normality now. You go through an issue like COVID and it’s a learning experience. Every so often, during various periods of time, you go through a difficulty like this. When you’re going through them, you just deal with it. Now it looks like it’s receding big time, but we’ve got to be vigilant. This doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be an uptick or some other kind of variant, but this is an opportunity for people to get back to normal. We can get together in-person and socialize and communicate together in-person, which is very important. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade next week in Huntington is their first parade since COVID began. The outbreak of COVID in the Long Island area happened right after the most recent parade held by the Hibernians in Huntington. We have had no in-person parades since 2020 and now, two years later, it’s a wonderful reawakening. Maybe it is a celebratory thing that we are on the exit ramps of COVID, and we can get together. It’s a positive sign. It shows that there is some optimism and positivity. I’m hoping that the weather is nice, but even if it isn’t we are still going to have a great time. It’s the beginning of a new chapter. Q: Is there anything else that you would like to say to the local readers? I would say that Huntington is a wonderful place. We should sit back and remind ourselves about how fortunate we all are. We live in the United States, we live in a beautiful place: Huntington and its surrounding areas. We are able to assemble freely and be together for some time. This is an opportunity to celebrate the United States, to celebrate how fortunate we all are, to celebrate the liberties and the freedoms that we hold, especially given what we see happening around the world right now. It’s a celebration of immigration, a celebration of immigrants, a celebration of our diversity and, of course, it’s a celebration of our Irish heritage, our history and the contributions that the Irish and so many others have made in the building of the United States. It’s an opportunity to be thankful. This is a celebratory, joyous occasion and I look forward to it.

Hibernians to hold 88th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade BY RAYMOND JANIS JR.EDITOR@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After a two-year pause, the Huntington Hibernians will host their 88th annual St. Patrick’s Day parade this Sunday, March 13. The parade will again be held in-person, the first live parade since lockdowns and other restrictions placed strict limitations on social gatherings. Spectators can now expect a return to normality as this year’s parade will closely resemble those from years prior to the pandemic. “We have a similar lineup from past years,” said John Broderick, president of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians Division IV, the organization hosting the event. “We’re going to have six pipe drums, four pipe and drum bands and five marching bands. We’ll have some Irish dancers and a lot of our community groups that like to march with us.” The AOH is the oldest Irish fraternal organization in the United States, dating back some three centuries. Broderick says this will be the 88th time that Division IV hosts the parade, a local tradition that has run continuously since the early 1930s with only two notable interruptions. “We actually did not hold the parade for two years back in the ‘30s due to the world war,” he said, adding, “The next time we did not hold the parade was last year because of the pandemic.” While St. Patrick’s Day is often caricatured in American popular culture, the Hibernians still observe the classical religious practices of the holiday. Broderick says that day will start with a 10 a.m. mass, held at the Church of St. Patrick. “At the end of the day, the AOH is a Catholic organization. We do celebrate our patron saint, which is St. Patrick,” he said. “At the division, we start our day with a 10 a.m. mass. This has been a tradition for all 88 years and this year’s mass will be celebrated by Msgr. [Steven R.] Camp.” After halting the event last year, this year’s live parade is an indication that brighter days lie ahead. Broderick views Sunday a celebration of restoration and renewal, an opportunity for division membership and the community to unwind and rejoice. “Our last parade in 2020 was just a few days before the world literally shut down. After this pandemic, I think folks just need the opportunity to get out and have some fun, share some cheers, laughter and smiles,” Broderick said. “We’re super excited and we’re looking forward to marching through the Town of Huntington and reopening the world, so to speak.” The parade is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. The route will start at the Whitman Village Housing Development and end at the Church of St. Patrick.

Current trustee and former village clerk vie for Northport mayor BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM In the Village of Northport, residents will vote for a new mayor on Tuesday, March 15. In addition to choosing between mayoral candidates Dave Weber Jr. and Donna Koch, voters will select three trustees, two for a four-year term and another for a twoyear period. Mary Biunno is also running unopposed for village justice. Weber and Koch recently answered questions via email about the mayoral race. To read about the trustee candidates, visit tbrnewsmedia.com after March 11.

Donna Koch

Koch is no stranger to Village Hall. Until October of 2020, she worked as a full-time clerk until she had a parting of ways with the mayor, she said. The candidate had been with Village Hall for more than 25 years. After starting her career as a crossing guard in the village in 1993, she spent a few years working part time in Village Hall and in 1998 became fulltime deputy village clerk. In 2000, she took on the job of village clerk. After taking some time off, she realized she “missed Northport village government and started to attend village board meetings regularly.” “With a different perspective, I could see what the residents saw,” she said. “A board whose sole purpose was to hurry through the meeting, with department heads having nothing to report, a treasurer who had nothing to report. And, with a total

disrespect for the residents who do attend the meetings. It was then I knew I wanted to run for mayor and bring this village board back to a position of respect, transparency, with open, honest, informative meetings. This is an unprecedented time for the village. With four new spots up for election, experience will be key. I have that experience.” She said taxes are a constant issue in the village. “We need to get our spending in check,” Koch said. “I will work with a board who takes a hard look at spending and finds ways to cut back. Do more with less. I will strive to achieve a zero tax increase.” She also is concerned about keeping the “harbor clean, by mitigating stormwater runoff.” She said the village needs “to dust off” several studies that were done “to see how we can implement them today.” “I love the idea of rain gardens and more aesthetically pleasing remedies,” Koch said. “We as a board will look into every option that’s available.” She said she would also aim to keep cannabis out of the village, control speeding on the roads, and put in new sidewalks, trees and curbs in the downtown area. She also has street congestion, parking and living in the post-COVID world on her mind.

Continued from A6 village regarding what it needs for long-term growth and sustainability. “Joining the board of trustees in 2020, I have given our residents that voice that has been missing over the past administrations,” he said. Among his accomplishments while trustee, he listed, “Transparency, calling out and getting professional guidance and new eyes into our finances when wrongdoing was discovered; fiscal responsibility, building relationships with federal and state as well as local elected officials to obtain grant monies to improve recreational facilities for our youth; environmental initiatives, continuing stormwater mitigation along Main Street with state funding for continued improvement of our water quality; aquaculture programs to clean and strengthen the condition of our harbor for future generations.” Weber said the village’s lingering issues would be compounded by new hurdles as it transitions into a post-pandemic era. He listed commerce and stormwater mitigation as priorities once the new board takes office. He also said that building relationships between public/private partnerships and community organizations, in turn, can create a stronger village.

Weber said one example of partnerships has been how as trustee he has already built a relationship with the local community organization Not in Our Town and the Town of Huntington Anti Bias Task Force to address hate and antisemitism after incidents in the village. He also said he would work to connect local businesses with the community and has a plan for stormwater mitigation. “Building relationships with business owners and bridging residents and customers to those businesses to help fill storefronts and keep our downtown thriving is an initiative that I have already begun and will continue to do,” he said. “Stormwater mitigation or the ‘flooding on Main Street’ has and probably will always be an issue due to our Main Street being in a valley. Using federal money for dry wells and filtration as well as installing rain gardens along these key areas will help to alleviate the increase of nitrogen in our harbor. Partnering with key environmental organizations within the village to educate and get our community involved in this extremely important issue is currently happening, and will continue if elected.”

March 15

Residents will be able to vote for the Village of Northport mayor and trustees on March 15 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Northport Village Hall, 224 Main St.

Editorial

Donations collected on March 3 at the offices of county Legislator Stephanie Bontempi and Dr. David Buchin. Photo by Raymond Janis

Uniting for Ukraine

The response of Long Islanders to help Ukrainians has been encouraging. On March 3, Suffolk County Legislator Stephanie Bontempi (R-Centerport) and Dr. David Buchin headed up the Long Island Ukrainian Emergency Response Drive at their offices, located at 224 Wall St. in Huntington. Local elected officials and community members joined them to gather items such as blankets, medical supplies, sleeping bags and other essentials to send to the embattled country. On Monday, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon Jr. (D) announced the addition of nearly 450 pieces of bulletproof body armor from his office to the items already collected in Huntington. The College Hunks moving company assisted in delivering the items to the New York City processing center and from there the items will be shipped to Ukraine. Donation drives similar to those of Bontempi and Buchin along with rallies to support Ukrainians have taken place all over the TBR News Media coverage areas. The message sent across the globe is that we stand with the country in their fight against Russia. TBR News Media readers have also reached out with letters to the editor condemning Russia’s actions, and another reader shared the struggles his Ukrainian family faced in the past. He hoped that history would not repeat itself, but he was ready to help any relative who needed his assistance. The last few years have been divisive ones for the United States. Between the political divide and our battle against COVID-19, it seemed as if we couldn’t look past our own borders. Now we see Americans uniting once again for a cause. It’s a shame it took such a tragedy to bring us all together. It may have taken a war, but Americans seem once again united behind a common theme: the cause of freedom, democracy and the right of a free people to self-determination. As U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY3) said on March 3 in front of the offices of Bontempi and Buchin, “We have to follow the old idea that partisanship stops at the water’s edge. We have to all hold together like we are today.” As we watch Long Islanders work together to help people struggling on the other side of the globe, let’s remember what it’s like to be united as Americans, not only past the water’s edge but on our own island.

Letters to the Editor Zeldin’s free campaigning

I’m having trouble understanding why this newspaper is providing a free campaign platform for U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin [RNY1] in its Letters to the Editor page. There were two of these pieces in February alone [Feb. 3 and 24], each exceeding the recommended word limit of letters by a factor of two or three. It can’t be pretended that these pieces, published as op-eds or “Perspectives,” have anything to do with his role as a congressman. Instead, he spends the entire time on the gubernatorial campaign trail and attacking Gov. Kathy Hochul [D]. As a previous letter writer noted, they are nothing more than “campaign flyers without photos.” Is it fair to provide one candidate for governor an unlimited free platform simply because he’s currently a congressman — in name only? Zeldin’s latest piece is once again filled with misinformation. When I’ve claimed something as fact in a letter to the editor, I’ve been asked to provide my source. Very fair. But apparently the same standard does not apply to Zeldin. One flagrant example of this in this last piece is his assertion that “data suggests” natural immunity from having contracted COVID-19 provides “stronger immunity than the shot.” This is false. And also dangerous for those who might conclude from this that getting COVID is less risky than getting vaccinated and boosted. In this same piece Zeldin states, “The time has come for a long overdue return to normalcy.” As I write this letter, Russia is busy trying to gobble up Ukraine. There will be no return to “normalcy” as long as Zeldin or those like him have anything to do with it. Lest anybody forget, this is a man who began his congressional career by speaking at a meeting of the extremist militia group Oath Keepers. A group whose leader, Stewart Rhodes, is currently jailed and awaiting trial for seditious conspiracy, and whom a judge declined to free on bail because he could “continue to plot and prepare for political violence that undermines the foundation of our democracy.” Zeldin voted to overturn the results of a democratic election at the behest of former President Donald Trump [R], and apparently would stop at nothing to do Trump’s bidding. The same Trump who did everything he could to weaken NATO. The same Trump who currently is praising Putin, calling him “savvy” and a “genius” for invading Ukraine. This is the man Zeldin sold his political soul for. A man who has no moral compass whatever. Giving Zeldin greater power will not lead to “normalcy.” It will lead only to more of the chaos, division, dishonesty, malice

and moral confusion we’ve already had, with the kind of consequences we are now witnessing. David Friedman St. James

Parents winning vs. authoritarian elites

Informed parents advocating on behalf of their children have become part of what increasingly looks like a class struggle between themselves and a cabal of elitist authoritarians, many of whom can be found in politics, the media and academia. What the latter-mentioned trio initially viewed as a laughably unfair fight between themselves and a bunch of cognitively overmatched opponents has proven to be quite the opposite, and the losers are plenty mad. For a quick peek at this kind of anger, one only has to read Arnold Wishnia’s reply [“A second ‘big lie,’” Feb. 10] to my recent letter [“Cheering informed parents voting for change,” Jan. 20]. The good professor must have figured if he could lecture long enough, unenlightened readers would be caught up in his professorial spell and ignore that virtually the entirety of his rant had nothing to with my submission. Unmistakably clear however was Arnie’s distain for families pushing back against what they feel are autocratic rules damaging their kids. Wishnia dutifully follows the usual demeaning talking points spit out by the triumvirate of elitists mentioned above. Parents throwing off the yokes of certain uninformed or corrupt bureaucracies don’t have the smarts to make those kinds of decisions. Meanwhile “whip-smart” moms, dads and grandparents, determined to do their own investigative research, when necessary, have been putting the “big lie” to that propaganda. Parents Defending Education launched a Freedom of Information Act campaign that revealed two National School Board Association executives colluded with the White House in the lead up to the NSBA’s infamous letter comparing protesting parents to domestic terrorists. Subsequently it was learned that Education Secretary Miguel Cardona solicited the much-criticized correspondence. That work resulted in 10 state school boards have issued statements disagreeing with the letter, and 17 more state school boards have either voted to withdraw their memberships, participation and/or dues from the NSBA. Mask-related information collected by any number of enlightened parents has them mining data from doctors and studies buried by much of the media. Their work has even led them to generally left-leaning

publications such as The Atlantic and New York Magazine, where the headlines respectively read, “The downsides of masking young children are real” and “The science of masking kids remains uncertain.” Anyone questioning the need to mask children, can skip painstaking data gathering and turn on the TV to watch Democrats such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also of California, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and President Joe Biden ignore their own “lifesaving” mandates. However, to millions viewing her viral video, the biggest offender was Dem Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. Pictures of her repeatedly unmasked among face-covered students and staff in a Georgia elementary school were so boorish the outrage was bipartisan. So, how have those millions of parents swimming against the authoritarian tide done against their elitist scolds? Blue state pols ditching their ideological soulmates in both academia and the media, while sprinting from their own self-imposed “mask tyranny,” tell us all we need to know. Moms, dads and grandparents are “winning” big time. Those gutsy families advocating for their children owe a “thank you” to the disdainful critics who helped motivate and unite them, with now, perhaps an extra attaboy for a certain local professor.

Cuomo brothers should open a grocery store

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo [D] has begun using part of his more-than leftover $16 million reelection fund to pay for commercials. The message says that he has been exonerated from charges that he sexually harassed a number of women. Both Andrew and his brother Chris might be better off by listening to the Kenny Rogers song, “The Gambler,” when he said, “You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away.” It is wishful thinking on the part of Andrew Cuomo that he can resume his political career with a simple media blitz. Both Andrew and Chris should look for honest work. Why not follow in the footsteps of their grandparents who opened a family grocery store in Queens and do the same? Chris could also open up a gym upstairs as he loves working out. Andrew and Chris Cuomo have a long history in selling baloney. This makes them perfectly suited for this new occupation.

Opinion Instead of a gender reveal, how about a mom’s cravings party?

hen my daughter was young, one of her favorite songs was “Old MacDonald.” Maybe she loved it because it was a song about farm animals and we lived in Manhattan, where most of our non-human wildlife consisted of squirrels and pigeons. When she was an infant, she could make an incredibly convincing pigeon coo, thanks to hearing them all day long outside her window. Maybe she also D. None liked the song because, of the above unlike Bette Middler’s BY DANIEL DUNAIEF “The Rose” and “One” from “A Chorus Line,” my wife and I couldn’t butcher the relatively simple melody with our

unimpressive singing skills. Anyway, she liked to say “duck” when we got to the animal on the farm. She liked ducks, or maybe the “quack quack” sound so much that she’d protest when we told her the farm already had a duck. She would say, “another duck,” to keep us quacking. The song and the quacks made car rides more palatable. The song popped into my head recently when a friend told me that his second daughter was pregnant with their fourth grandchild. My friend has three daughters. His fourth grandchild is a girl, which means he’ll also have four granddaughters. He was extremely pleased to share the news by email about “another granddaughter,” and he has every right to be. He is preparing for the seventh consecutive girl in his immediate family. Then again, I couldn’t help thinking how he or the rest of the world would have felt if he had a grandson. Would that be a greater cause for celebration because they had a boy in their

midst? I suspect he doesn’t, and didn’t, care. For so many people, the gender doesn’t matter as long as the baby and mother (and somewhere in there, hopefully, the father) are healthy. When my daughter was born, the big surprise was that I, unlike my parents or my older brother, could have a girl. As I told my wife, as the second of three boys and an uncle to two nephews, I expected to continue the male tradition. My daughter started out proving me wrong and, thankfully, continues to do so regularly. Once I’d broken the ‘all boys’ pattern, I was convinced my son was a girl, so, he, too, defied our expectations. So, what is it with gender reveal parties? Is it another way to celebrate a coming birth? Is it a way to unveil one of the few mysteries left before birth? In an era that increasingly understands and supports the transgender population, gender reveal parties seem anachronistic, celebrating a birth gender that may conflict with a person’s

developing identity. Like so many other events, such as a first birthday party that a child will never remember, a gender reveal party may be a way to celebrate the parents, giving them a chance to anticipate the coming birth and to imagine life as the parent of a boy or girl. Gender reveal parties have received bad press because of the injuries from pyrotechnics and other exploding blue or pink streamers or images. But maybe beyond the danger from these explosions, the gender reveal also pigeon holes children into specific color patterns. Don’t we want our children to think for themselves, even about their favorite colors, instead of limiting them to blue for boys or pink for girls? Maybe, instead of colors or gender, we can celebrate the sounds of their heartbeat, the Alien-like moments when we can see their feet in their mom’s abdomen, or the foods their mothers crave during pregnancy.

he idea was that if European nations were interdependent for their economic welfare, then they would not make war on each other, but would rather work together for their greater good. And for more than 70 years, the concept held. Where wars were the way for nations, and before there were nations, for regions to enrich themselves by raiding their neighbors, stealing their treasures and claiming their land, now that was eschewed. Finally, Between you and me there was to be peace. England and France, BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF France and Germany, Spain and England among others, all put their guns and their history away and did business with each other. This was the vision articulated by the United Nations after World War II ended, and it came to pass. The economists and

philosophers were right. No one would make war on neighbors who were making them money. And for the most part, nations realized unprecedented wealth and the security that peace brings. Economics was to be the field of battle, not the military. And with unrestricted trade, globalization took hold. War was a distant memory. Until now. Incredible as it seemed to the rest of the world, Russia invaded the Ukraine less than two weeks ago with the aim of annexing that country. Such action, as Russian military surrounded Ukraine on three sides, would be an ill-conceived throwback to a more appalling and unwise time. Or so we thought. As the Ukrainians defiantly rise to meet the invaders with military weapons, the rest of Europe and countries elsewhere in the world are responding with their weapon of choice: economics. It is a testament to the thinking and planning of those leaders seven decades ago. And so, with remarkable unity, the European Union is striving to blow up Russia’s economy rather than blowing up Russia’s cities. The pain for the Russian leaders and the Russian people

is to be felt in their pocketbooks and not in their cemeteries. At least, that is the intent. But of course, as in every war, it’s the civilians who most suffer and pay the price for their leaders’ actions. If they aren’t shot to death, they may be starved to death, as their money becomes worthless and their businesses are ruined. Still, the Russians will do better without Coca-Cola than the Ukrainians without water. And that is another remarkable consequence of attempts to isolate Russia. Not only are governments withdrawing trade and financial dealings in this siege, but also international corporations are cutting ties with the invading country, even if the companies bear the price. McDonald’s, which employs some 62,000 workers in Russia, Starbucks and Apple have closed their stores, among numerous others. Americans have indicated overwhelmingly in a recent Quinnipiac University national poll (71%), that they will tolerate the increased price of gasoline if Russian imports of oil and gas are ended. The Biden administration has heard them and is closing off those imports. Of course, the prices at the pump were going up

anyway due to considerable current inflation. Why not put the blame on the Russians! So do shared economic interests prevent wars? There should have been a corollary put into that concept: assuming all the governments are made up of reasonable persons. Much now is being made of President Vladimir Putin’s mental state because most of the rest of the world cannot understand why he is embracing this “special military operation.” He did not even tell his lower rank soldiers that they were about to engage in a war. Who knows how the Russian leader thinks? Is he unreasonable or is this merely the opening salvo he, and perhaps his “friend,” Premier Xi Jinping of China, are plotting for a long game? Of one thing the world can be certain. When autocrats are planning something that surely would be roundly condemned, one of the actions they take is to close down the media and crack down on free speech. Signing a new censorship law, Putin has now criminalized independent journalism for reporting “fake news.”
