Ukraine can’t win a war with Russia—without US and EU help. No one wants such a war that could turn into WW III over what? A Corrupt Ukraine? We should help Ukraine and win back Crimea for them, or let the Ukrainians go broke and end up signing a treaty with Putin. Its the wronjg war at the wrong time.
