世界继续惊恐地看着俄罗斯入侵乌克兰的日常画面，乌克兰是一个拥有民主选举总统的主权国家。乌克兰人民为安全而逃离或拿起武器保卫国家的形象既令人心碎又鼓舞人心。当我们目睹一个国家对另一个国家的独立性的攻击时，我们在更大的意义上目睹了对民主本身的攻击。
美国及其盟国的反应是迅速而深远的。美国、欧盟和其他国家实施了广泛的制裁，禁止向俄罗斯出售某些产品和服务，并对俄罗斯银行和国际 SWIFT 系统施加了金融限制，使得与俄罗斯的出易更难获得报酬。美国财政部外国资产控制办公室OFAC宣布，与俄罗斯实体和个人的商业活动范围不断扩大。自2月下旬入侵开始以来，俄罗斯卢布已经失去了大部分价值。UPS、联邦快递和几家主要的轮船航线
已经停止向俄罗斯发货，大多数保险公司不再为运往俄罗斯的货物投保，越来越多的西方公司已经停止了在那里的业务活动。美国上周切断了对俄罗斯石油和天然气的购买，美国总统乔·拜登（Joe Biden）的政府周五宣布，美国与G7国家和欧盟一起，正在游说剥夺俄罗斯在世界贸易组织内的"最惠国待遇"地位。 俄罗斯平等进入所有世贸组织成员的市场，并保证平等的关税。
作为全球出口商，多里安·德雷克（Dorian Drake）也感受到了这种影响。
虽然俄罗斯不是我们的主要出口市场，但我们与众多俄罗斯进口商建立了长期友好的关系。其中一家是莫斯科的一家食品服务设备分销商，它正试图找到一种方法，为我们今年早些时候提供的订单向我们付款。另一方面，俄罗斯东部的一家汽车产品进口商，我们已经建立了一系列订单，并准备在工厂发货，但没有明确的途径。我们的硬件/草坪和花园集团已经停止追求我们在入侵开始时与俄罗斯分销商谈判的几项订单。出于实际和道德原因，在可预见的未来，我们不会从俄罗斯接受新的命令。
我们一直在与俄罗斯客户沟通，大多数人都理解。一些人直言不讳地表示反对战争，以及他们作为普通公民无法自由表达他们的不满。从我们在俄罗斯国内看到的反战集会的场景中，我们知道他们并不孤单。我们只能希望俄罗斯内部的异议人士能够施加俄罗斯从乌克兰撤军所需的额外压力。
尽管这场战争代价高昂，而且是悲惨的，但它可能会产生一些积极的结果。首先，它已经加强了美国对北约及其欧盟盟国的承诺。支持乌克兰人保卫他们的边界和他们的生活方式似乎也是一个所有美国人，在一个严重分裂的国家，都可以同意的问题。当然，最好的结果是乌克兰击退俄罗斯的入侵，并最终确立其作为一个自由和独立国家的主权。
9/11之后， 世界报法国领先的日报，有一句名言："我们都是美国人。今天我们说，"我们都是乌克兰人。

亲爱的埃德·多里安先生，
I’ve read your thought on this “horror” scene according to your perspective.
But in the end I think your humanity still need to learn more in order to be able to embrace the truth in common logic.
If you are the second legacy of Great H. Dorian and could recall your memories well, news about Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Palestine should have in newspaper and television during your teenage and growing up as a Keepers in Dorian’s throne.
They are and always a sovereign nation, too.
When do you think we should campaign:
We are Iraq
We are Palestine
We are Syria
We are Afghanistan
We agree we are not talking about religion and race on this. Just humanity as it has the words HUMAN.
Hope to see your thought on this again in your bulletin news.
Best regards, Imam Santosa.
Dear Imam,
Thank you for thoughtful and no doubt heart-felt comments. Nothing written in our post was meant to suggest that U.S. foreign policy is immune to criticism. The U.S. is guilty of its share of missteps and missed opportunities, particularly in the Middle East. The central point of our post was to convey our solidarity with the Ukrainian people. On this point, I believe Ed Dorian Sr. would have agreed.

Very well said. However, I still think the world can do more in terms of a military intervention. It is like letting a school yard bully get away with beating up someone and no one jumping in because of fear. I realize that Russia has nuclear weapons, but we need to do something. I am sure the world can get together and find some way to jump in with military might to defend the Ukrainians. I am afraid if we do not, it will set a bad precedent for other countries around the world e.g. if you have a nuclear weapons, you can get away with murder.
Dear Rashad,
So it is safe and ok to breach to your neighbors house with your excuse and prejudice that your neighbor you thought has the weapon mass destruction ? But in the end you found nothing and just walk by and said sorry??
If you’re ok with that I’d be glad if you to be my neighbor and search your house 🙂
Let make some point here Rashad.
We agree that sovereignty of a nation is absolute right. But please don’t have double standard on who should have the privilege for this war. Every country should live in peace and not make their neighbors in fear.
Dear Rashid,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this troubling topic. The many nations supporting Ukraine face a difficult dilemma: How best to support Ukraine without igniting World War III. There is no easy answer.
