A rather ugly and stupid way at looking at it. The biggest winner by far is the nation which is sitting by and growing rich while the West depletes its military and economic strength: China.
China is already claiming Russian territory, and Russia is so weak it can only grovel in response.
The Soviet apologists on FR sicken and disgust me. To think that formerly patriotic Americans could be so manipulated by foreign governments! Yes, we taunted a savage dog until he pulled his chains loose. But he is nonetheless a savage dog.
At the same time, Ukraine did everything it possibly could to delegitimize its dominion over Crimea, and Poroshenko conducted his war with the Donbas in such a way that the Donbas could never be reintegrated into Ukraine. There is no justice demanding in demanding the Donbas or Crimea be returned to Ukraine.
It is time to make peace.
“A rather ugly and stupid way at looking at it.”
Thanks!
There are thousands of soldiers in the Ukrainian Army who are fighting to liberate their hometowns in the Donbas. You do not have good info if you think the Donbas in not Ukrainian. My wife is from Alchevsk and we have family and friends there now.

Absolutely. It’s time for Russians to stop warmongering in Ukraine and go home to Moscow.
Don’t be duped by Bolshevik fairy tales about what happened Donbas. Events there were astroturfed by the Kremlin. Putin even handed out medals to the Russian military involved. That destroyed Bakhmut and Mariupol look nothing like “attacked by Ukraine for 8 years” Donetsk is all the proof genuine conservatives need on this topic.
