The point for me is not really “who I want to win” it’s what is my government doing in my name?

I remember the dissolution of the USSR quite well and many people were filled with optimism overnight that “peace” in Europe was finally possible.

We made promises and we did not keep them. There are many reasons this happened, but like most failure analyses if you remove one mistake you often avoid a tragedy.

Can anyone argue that the Ukraine is better off today than it was 18 months ago? The country is wrecked, half the population has fled or is dead, and we are 100b poorer as well as less prepared for war today.

Nobody is really going to “win” in the Ukraine. Nobody. Millions have already lost.

There must not be enough money in “peace” for the elites and make no mistake that the people who got us here are the same ones who will send your kids or mine off for some other adventure that benefits them in the near future. You can bet on that.

“… Nobody is really going to “win” in the Ukraine. Nobody. Millions have already lost.…”
***************************************************************

Many, many Ukrainian multimillionaires have been created. Many tens of billions of dollars of military industrial complex defense “business” have been created. Lobbyists’ budgets/spending is exploding and political donations and “gifts” are soaring. THESE ARE THE “WINNERS”. AND NEW CASH & CONTRACTS CONTINUE TO BE ADDED TO THE TSUNAMI.
