Bill Clinton blew a chance to work with Boris Yeltsin, who was an alcoholic (how Russian). What we needed was a Marshall Plan for the former Soviet Union.
Instead Russian Oligarchs looted the economy of Russia. Bill Clinton humiliated Boris Yeltsin on the world stage. NATO interventation in the Balkans was the last straw. The Russians did not forget. That brought the rise of Putin.
Putin has dead eyes. Not concerned with killing his own soldiers or firing missiles at buildings with women and children in them.
We have many things to thank the Ukraine people for but Zelensky is not one of them. He is a loser and Putin is too.
But they both lose. Ask the mothers and fathers of the men that will never be seen again.
