One sobering reality he neglects to mention is that the longer this conflict continues, the more likely Ukraine becomes even more of an economic basket case. That’s what happens when you allow passions and emotion to override commonsense. Was it really worth it for Ukraine to give Putin the middle finger at the behest of the US? Let’s see what they think of that decision a few years from now. My guess is they will come to regret it, but hey that’s their choice.
A couple of days ago, a Freeper described Ukraine’s president as “the Ukrainian version of Jimmy Kimmel.” I still crack up every time I think of that. Maybe that’s what we are dealing with here … countries in the West that are run by clowns and buffoons.
