Benjamin L. Cardin: “We lose credibility when that happens, when we are not prepared to take decisive steps based upon our values.”

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.

Nowhere has this been more on display than what has occurred in Hong Kong in recent years as the passage of the National Security Law and entry into force of Article 23 destroyed what remains of Hong Kong's democracy.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.
