I think the longer Ukraine stays at war the more people die. Russia will not stop. Russia will become more brutal the harder this gets. Ukraine won't make much headway with new weapons. The Donbas area used to be Russian territory before USSR according to Caleb Maupin. Ukraine has been bombing it for years, why not give it up? Over 60% (allegedly) of the population there are ethnic Russians anyhow. The West is losing the economic war and between this and the pandemic we can’t take much more. Ukraine isn't in our sphere of influence really, it's in Russia’s sphere. We don't have the right to keep putting our stuff in other people's business whether we like that or not. I'm through with our empire. We need to focus on home.
