It may be, this whole war has been about putins dreams of grandeur. A greater Russia to replace the loss of power he recognizes after the fall of the Soviet Union.
If Russia lays down its weapons and returns to its borders there can be peace, if Ukraine does they will cease to exist
Biggest problem for Putin is if they do, he will cease to exist. No retirement home for dictators run afoul of their people
Everything you say is correct. But I’m so tired of our country’s collusion in the destruction of other countries, and other countries ripping us off, that I couldn’t care less if Ukraine and Russia nuke each other into oblivion. I dread the eventual comeuppance our country will eventually also suffer. There are so many in the world that desire our destruction...including many in America...that I’m afraid we we won’t be able to defend ourselves. Sorry to be so negative, but that’s the position I’ve slowly circled around to. I can only pray for my children and their families because I am utterly helpless to protect them (outside of trying to ensure I leave them a modest fortune to spend wisely should they desire to “escape” to someplace).
The new border of Ukraine, with the soon to be liberated Odessa.
Rejoice, the people have spoken.
True.
