I wonder how the USA would respond if there was a war between two drug cartels in Mexico, the Cartel Del Norte and the Cartel de Jalisco..would they risk their economy and put their citizens at risk to support one or the other. Ukraine and Russia are both THUGS...criminal government officials whose notarious bribe taking is known to all.
people equate this war to Germany invading France or the USA invading Iraq.
No - this is really a civil war. Its one slavic people, with nearly the same language, same culture, same religion. Ukraine (the east anyway) was part of Russia for 300+ years
Just imagine if in 1861, Virginia managed to be recognized by UK, France, etc... and with their help - stay “independent” for 30 years. What would Lincoln and the especially the “Radical Republicans” have had to say about it?
