The irony is that this war was launched in part on the claim that there's no such thing as Ukrainian nationalism or even a true Ukrainian nation. But it is this war itself that actually will greatly strengthen the cause of Ukrainian nationalism and Ukrainian pride.

Putin will have achieved the exact opposite of his goal when this is all said and done.

Whether it is all worth it for Ukraine in the end remains to be seen. They lost literally millions of people in the 1930s because they were subject to the whims of whomever ruled in Moscow. So maybe these tragic losses will be worth it in the end for them to be free to prioritize their own interests over Russia's.

“...They lost literally millions of people in the 1930s...”

Peace kills. Solzhenitsyn said, “At the time South Vietnam fell, one of your newspapers ran the headline, “THE BLESSED SILENCE. I would not wish that “BLESSED SILENCE” on my worst enemy.”

my hope and prayer is that this forge a strong enough Ukraine that can keep both the russians out and the grifters like George SOROS, Bidens, Clintons and others...the reason why Putin felt he could take Ukraine was the actions of other countries that used the country to hide there illegal activities.
