Please to remember that Communist Russia genocided 11 million Ukrainians. The commies at the University of Chicago school of sociology claimed that it was land reform and as such was a most wonderful event. Peoples who were friends of Russia were moved into what is now modern day Ukraine.
I have never put Russian atrocities out of the calculus as it must be considered in anticipating how the Galicians and Volhynians have and will behave. The neocon War Vampires understand this well and have used it to incite this war out of nothing. All that is what it is.
However, what I am trying to focus attention upon is the utter incompetence of the “west” in assessing the probability the present course will succede. It never had a chance.
And for making this point today I will be called a Rusofile or some other more salacious epithet.
