I’m gonna have to disagree with Greg regarding U.S. support of Ukraine. We plowed billions of dollars into a deeply corrupt regime, one at the center of global corruption in which the Biden family itself had their fingers. It always did smell to high heaven.

And we did not have the money; we went into more debt, which constituted a tax on all U.S. citizens. At the same time we were sending more billions to Ukraine, we let the people of the flood-ravaged South suffer without help. And it made no difference to the outcome.

Meanwhile, we must properly count the human cost of war, which is horrific and easy to lose sight of if your country is not the one in the war.

Russia has taken back what was, not that long ago, Russian territory (i.e., from before the Soviet Union), and the majority of which is Russian-speaking. As long as they don’t continue on their march, and are willing to accept a cease-fire, this is by far the best expectable outcome.
