People can criticize Biden and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

People can criticize Biden and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”, Monterey Herald – March 20, 2022

To suggest that people are supremely hypocritical when they complain about the price of gas while the invasion of Ukraine wages on, is simply untrue. Remember, the price of gas, inflation, supply chain issues, etc., have been created by Joe Biden and his administration since he took office. Yet, Joe Biden would have us believe the high prices at the gas pump is Vladimir Putin’s fault. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is only a small part of the problem.

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is deplorable. That being said, people can express frustration with the price of gas, inflation, the supply chain issues, etc., while also being supremely empathetic to the plight of the Ukrainian people. We are capable of both.
