Ukraine's per-capita GDP was $3726.93 (2020). Mexico's was $8346.70 (2020) and we were trying to build a wall.
Ukraine's per capita GDP was about 45% of Mexico's, 37% of Russia's.
It surprises me, because I had thought that Putin is a murderous psychopath, but at least he was smart. I doubt that now.
If I were ruling a country that is an economic fiasco, the last thing I would want to do is annex a country that is even more of an economic fiasco.
