FTA: “I will proffer a harsh truth to you: the best outcome in Ukraine would be for Russia to win the war as expeditiously as possible, neutralize and disarm the place, change-out its illegitimate government, and let it revert to being the frontier backwater it was for eight decades previous, when it was not a problem for the other nations of the region.“
The article paragraph above illustrates your point about the author perfectly, IMO. Kuntsler writes as a true believer in the NYTimes tripe by Walter Duranty denying the famine that occurred under the Soviets. It seems certain the Ukrainian people have long and vivid memories on the Russian bear on how they would likely fare if Kuntsler’s vision became reality.
You have no clue about the reality of Ukraine. And believe it or not, the USSR is no more; Putin is not Stalin.
You’re living in the past.
