Putin is a monster.
Ukraine's government is/was massively corrupt.
A staggering number of people have died on both sides. See here. Yes, half a million people (and that's probably a low estimate).
US leadership is pathetic or complicit.
Shorter version: this is a nightmare for the world. I suspect it will just get worse.
Opps. Should have put “leadership” in quotes — the US does not have real leadership...
