Poor Tlozo, you put your hopes on neocons who only know how to start wars and then lose them slowly for profit. Do you feel like a fool? Do you?
Ukrainians were going to have to fight for their freedom from Russian imperialists like Putin, sooner or later. This Putin invasion has put and end to any talk of Ukrainians, even ethnic Russians in Ukraine, wanting to be part of Putin's Russia. It has also ended the myth of Russian military might. NATO countries are increasing their military expenditure with Sweden, Finland joining NATO. All good for the US. :)
