Feel free to expound further, but I took the 1812 analogy from your comment that Ukraine was barely 30 years old. About what we were in1812. Both countries made free from an oppressor. Both countries attacked by that same oppressor some 30 years later. Both countries asking and looking for allies in their cause. Both countries in situations where, without help, they would lose. I actually think it’s a decent analogy, but happy to hear argument why it’s not.
Yes it is a decent analogy.
