Back when America was Great... [1]

This is my first “story”, if I remember correctly. Please forgive me if something didn’t come out right.

Below, you’ll find a slightly edited version of message I had the temerity to send to the White House. I think it may be useful to tweak Agent Krasnov’s administration by using their own slogan against them. Perhaps, as below, we could start with “back when America was great”, referring to a time when the USA did the right thing, saying America is not great now because of something related that Krasnov et al. have done, and concluding with the infamous MAGA slogan.

Back when America was great, a man who wasn't wearing a suit came to the White House, asking for help defending his nation against an enemy of democracy. That man was Winston Churchill, the country was Britain, and the enemy was Hitler. A couple of weeks ago, another man, not wearing a suit, came to the White House, asking for help defending his nation against an enemy of democracy. That was President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the country is Ukraine, and the enemy of democracy is Putin. Apparently, America is no longer great. You chose to fight with him and criticize him for acting like Winston Churchill. Ukraine is fighting the world's most aggressive enemy of democracy. They deserve our help. Much more than they've been getting, and we shouldn’t demand anything in return. Make America great again.

I’d love to see what people come up with, or any other messages or slogans to use against Agent Krasnov and his minions.

The excellent opinion piece in the following link has a wonderful image of Winston Churchill in his famous “siren suit” and President Zelenskyy not wearing a suit. I’m asking them if I can borrow the image to illustrate this story. www.kyivpost.com/...
