Maintaining democracy during peace time is easy. During war time it’s hard.
It’s also exactly the time where we should do work our hardest to maintain democracy.
I would recommend reading the Lincoln letter to William H. Herndon dated Feb. 15. 1848
> to assure the survival and the success of liberty. Kennedy.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Benjamin Franklin.

chinese proxy war in ukraine, russia is just https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-access/area_denial
essentially USA needs Taiwan to not be invaded by china, with taiwan in chinese hands, even korea will have to do very hard thinking about western direction. which will be disastrous for USA, EU.
Taiwan ramped up production of shells. Czech republic is buying shells from them to send to ukraine ( "czech ammunitions initiative" ) so taiwan is able sustain expanded manufacturing capability needed for china taiwan conflict.
so czechs are praised for this by other NATO members because essentially, chinese proxy war is making taiwan more secure against china...
china wanted to invade taiwan in 2027 that is why biden, trump are relocating chip manufacturing to US for last 7 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzhuXY9LBR8
EDIT: look up that part of russia between two inland seas, where georgia and azerbaijan are connecting russia with iran.
that part is so important that russia had to invade crimea, wage russo-georgian war just to be able to secure that part / land connection with iran.
ukrainian territories currently occupied by russia are "just" AA/AD zone for protection of rostov-on-don which is main railroad, seashipping hub for that iran russia connection land part.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. Kennedy.
Yet we cant even endure tariffs meant to stop war.
