My next door neighbors were Refuseniks that finally were allowed to leave Russia just before the Soviet Union fell.
Marat passed away several months ago and Galina is by herself now. They both became very proud US citizens and their son got a degree from Harvard and is now in med school at Georgetown, after working for several years at a non-profit.
So now we agree that neither Russia nor Ukraine is worth our concern as far as this fighting is help in any way. Especially the Ukraine with all the intrigue, bribes and collusion with our prominent Democrat and RINO leadership through their sons.
I may not care one bit for the Ukraine, but I ALSO realize it’s nonetheless VERY stupid to ignore the fighting. Assuming Putin wins, then given Putin’s making not so secret that he’ll be bringing back Communism to the USSR, that means we’ll have another Cold War on our hands. The only way to truly get rid of Communism besides Fatima is to make sure Putin doesn’t win.
Preventing Communism from gaining any more strength is the ONLY reason why I’d even consider supporting Ukraine in the loosest sense. If you ask me, we should have gone all Nuremberg on Russia and ALL the Communist Countries after the Cold War ended. Do the same thing we did to Nazi Germany. Thanks to stupidly assuming the USSR’s “collapse” meant Communism was discredited and not doing anything more to kill it, we just gave it time to regroup. And now thanks to Ayers and his ilk, it’s poisoned the educational water supply.
And don’t think going isolationist will work this time around. Let me point out that our going isolationist during the 1930s not only helped the Nazis gain power, but also had us coming VERY close to becoming a Soviet proxy state thanks to FDR.
