What a pantload. Russia is actually geographically closer to the US.

The US is already assigning a bunch of progressives to take over the rebuilding because Western interests such as Blackrock and Vanguard have bought Ukraine from Zelensky.

Talk about imperialism. Talk about NATO expansionism.

Take a deep breath. The center of Russia's population is Izhevsk in the east Volga region, far from Alaska and further from Western Europe than all of Ukraine. In any event, given a choice, Ukraine prefers to affiliate with Western Europe, not Russia.

The false claim that BlackRock and Vanguard "have bought Ukraine" actually endorses my point: an independent Ukraine at peace will readily draw investment capital for rebuilding.
