Well, you may be right. But it would be better if we never find out because Putin goes crying back to Mother Russia with a scraped knee and a black eye and a bloody nose. And Mother Russia graciously poisons him and makes it look like a heart attack. They’ll have a national Putin day with parades in his honor, annex Mariupol and Crimea, and go in for no further adventurism in the West. And China will take the hint, perhaps. Hard to say, but that’s the best chance of it. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine keeps on going and going and going, and neither Putin nor China are learning anything from it, except that the Biden Administration is all bark and big spending.
I wouldn’t mind your Putin scenario, but I don’t care for
the reward for their treachery.
In the 1980s, we were all about seeing people freed from
Soviet domination. Hundreds of millions of people were freed
up just shortly after Reagan left office.
Now some of us are thinking what a great idea it would be to
send people back under Russian domination.
Remember, we had a mass psychosis that put us under Obama
and Biden’s control. I’m not convinced people who live
in those areas today, really know what they are bargaining
for.
Russia is not going to let one whisper of dissent out.
If Russia gets those regions for it’s work, why wouldn’t
China think it would get rewarded also, with Taiwan?
