They’ve already gotten the part of UKRAINE that they wanted. Why even discuss it any more. This is what Hitler did in Czekoslavakia in the 30’s. The rest of the Ukraine will fall on their lap soon enough. They have no where to go.
So the Ukrainian industrial base is absorbed by Russia,
while ours has been dismantled by enviros and shipped
to China. It does not bode well for Ukraine or us.
Agrarian societies cannot stand up to superior technology.
