Another ugly blow for Vladimir Putin
President Zelenskyy is like the brightest and most exquisite star. His light inspires all of us, as do the lights of the Ukrainian people. They have won over the world with their courage. The world is watching with awe. And every day now, Putin’s world collapses just a little bit more.
Amazon has now announced it will halt shipping of its products to Russia. It’s also suspended Prime streaming services there. Amazon has also said it would no longer sell “New World” in Russia. New World is their new multiplayer video game.
“Given the ongoing situation in Russia and Ukraine, we’ve taken additional actions in the region,” Amazon said. They have also halted the shipping of products to Belarus. “We are also suspending access to Prime video for customers based in Russia,” Amazon continued. “We will no longer be taking orders for New World, which is the only video game we sell directly to Russia.”
This news was greeted with relief and appreciation on social media. Glory to Ukraine. Think about it. Think how much Putin has already lost. Exxon. McDonald’s. Visa. Microsoft. Amazon. And so many more. The repudiation is so loud, I’m sure it could move mountains.
The world has rejected the hate and the wrath of the monster Putin. The world is telling him in no uncertain terms that the world wants the violence to stop.
Putin is a man living in a cage of one. He is increasingly boxed in. There are no good options for him. But the world is watching. The love is alive and lit up. And this love will not stop until the ugliness of the Putin war is over.
