You really think Ukraine is better off?

Roughly half their population has fled and it is reported (by Ukrainians) that most of those will not return. Hundreds of thousands of casualties. The country is in tatters and their infrastructure is wrecked. Assuming they “win” they will be entirely beholden on the West for aid and rebuilding and our elites will funnel tens of billions to them. Assuming they “lose” the nation will not be rebuilt and I imagine “tribalism” will dominate the nation for the non-Russian speakers.

It is sad. This did not have to happen and while I am no fan of Putin and believe him to be highly corrupt I don’t think our Ivy-league idiots left him much choice. Welcome to another “Cold War”.

My kids and yours are really better off for this?
