Proxy war? Exactly how does Ukraine defend itself from Russia or get them to leave Ukrainian territory without fighting?
Yeah, U.S. proxy war with Russia, paid for by American taxpayers, and none of the billions sent to Ukraine accounted-for.
"Exactly how does Ukraine defend itself..."
Well, they could have started back in Budapest, Hungary in 1994, and told the U.K., Russia and Bill Clinton, along with Donald Blinken, the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, to take a hike, and not given up their nukes. For making themselves vulnerable, Kyiv received financial assistance from the United States, cheap energy supplies from Russia, and security guarantees. Of course the offer of money came first. That always turns heads, and changes minds doesn't it? And although the UK was a part of it, what compensation other than a loose promise of security down the line did the UK puke up?
Are you really okay with forcing men to fight and die for Ukraine, when their own government won't even let them voice their opinions at the ballot box on what the future of the country should be, their own future, and the survival of their families?
