Classic (and Depressing) Liberal Mush from a Mushy Liberal

Thanks to the Powerline guys I watched this absolutely stunning display of liberal mush in the person of Nick Kristoff. 

I normally try to avoid as much of the Scarsdale liberal's output as possible, but sometimes it is unavoidable.  Here it is instructive.

Ukraine needs "hugs" from the US?  Taylor Swift will ultimately defeat Putinism?  Really? 

Well, maybe.  Potentially, after decades of dictatorship, hardship and misery, a yearning for freedom and a desire to join with a prosperous and free West can spur a people to throw off their shackles.  It has been done before, but in the meantime a generation or two of said unfortunate peoples' lives are sacrificed to waiting out the dictators.  And sometimes these dictators never go away.

This is the foreign policy of the putatively caring side of political spectrum?  Sacrifice a generation or two of whole peoples' freedom, dignity, and humanity (and lose their creativity to the world) hoping that something like pop music will defeat tanks and guns??  Really?  Why are these people not laughed at, rather than paid lavishly to proffer such gibberish?
