    The Women’s March had 500,000 in DC, 750,000 in LA, 400,000 in NYC, etc. with many other cities. My point is that Lviv to Kyiv is a 6-hour drive. LA to DC is 40 hours, nearly 7 times that distance.

    The reason the Soviet Union collapsed was because of a nearly bankrupt Soviet government relaxing its grip under immense international political pressure. That’s not true for the US currently. I don’t mean to diminish it, but ousting this government will take more than linking hands.
