Brilliant. The clearest and most cogent analysis of the issue that I have yet heard. For weeks I've been alternating from appeasement to opposement. But now it is clear. We have to crush Russia into the dust of history. This starts with everyone saying "Russia is not really a country" - the same rhetoric the Kremlin uses to describe Ukraine. Except that we are right - Russia, since 1917, became a gangster state and remains so today.

Ukraine will not decide if it is allowed to become a western country nor will Russia.

500 million peaceful people in Europe will ultimately decide Ukraine’s fate — because they have the money & arms and the willingness to bring Russia to its knees for what it has done. This will take 20 years and will require patience, resolve and courage.
