It's beyond evil that we are asking the Ukrainians to fight to the last man...

There is no need to ask Ukrainians to fight. They have been doing that since the middle ages.

Their culture includes concepts of honor, fighting, and revenge that are similar to those associated with Vikings, or the type of Americans who fought in Texas before it was a part of the United States.

Exactly. If the Ukrainians were not inclined to fight on their own, this war would look like the last days of Kabul, not the dog fight in which the Russians currently find themselves.

Irony of all this is that Putin just gave a huge boost to the very same Ukrainian national identity that he was trying to squash.

Yep. Ukrainian nationals are modern-day Vikings with Nazi tattoos.

But, the Ukrainian civilians that have been used as human shields and shot at or killed by these apes, don't have such a high opinion of them.
