I’ve taken a look at the folks on the Russian side (Putin, Kadyrov, etc.).
And I’ve taken a look at the folks on the Ukrainian side (Zelenskyy, Biden, etc.).
I’ve reached this conclusion. There are no good guys on either side. None. So it’s best that the United States stay completely out of it.
That won’t happen, of course.
You’re certainly right about the comparative virtue of both sides. It seems to me that we should back the side from which we will benefit most. As unstylish as it may sound, we should be on America’s side. Remember in WWII that Russia was Hitler’s ally before it was ours, but was again our nemesis by wars’ end.
Russia. Ukraine.
Two scorpions in a bottle.
One side - the Russian side - has nukes aimed at America's heartland. So I've reached this conclusion. It's best that Russia fail in its 16-month-long invasion of Ukraine.
America has had absolutely no geopolitical reason to yearn for a weaker Ukraine. America has every reason to hope for a weakened, emasculated, and/or dissected Russia.
