Ukraine is a rich prize on many levels. Strategic location, population, hard fighting soldiers, minerals, gas pipelines.
We’ve had a lot of peope telling us fairy tales, that Putin wants to save the world from gays, etc.
That stuff is just silly.
Wasn’t Afghanistan supposed to be fabulously full of rare earth metals and other mineral treasures and that was one reason we should keep fighting there endlessly to to prop up a non-existent friendly military and government?
