Opinion: The West finds its purpose in the face of Putin’s butchery | Peter Hartcher

.

When the trumpet sounds, even the tattiest alley cat, the laziest house cat, suddenly imagines himself a fearsome tiger. His invasion of Ukraine coincides with a new round of tightening. For instance, a new law stipulates that anyone found guilty of disseminating what the authorities deem to be “fake news” faces up to 15 years in jail.

The UN General Assembly generally overlooks authoritarian outrages, but not this one. By an overwhelming vote of 141 nations in favour,and demanded Russia withdraw its troops. Only four countries sided with Russia, 35 abstained. Even more remarkable is that Americans tell pollsters they support the ban on Russian oil “even when pollsters remind Americans that it may cost them personally in terms of increased prices” at the petrol pump.
