Remember the Ukraine War?

This is a bit of an odd question, but do you remember the war between Russian and Ukraine? It’s a rhetorical question, of course, but it illustrates the point that what the power establishment in the western world saw as the most important story of the year has faded into near oblivion in just a few months without much having changed.
In the interest of full disclosure, and for context, I’ve never been all that interested in the war. Not because I don’t care, but because I don’t think we need to be pouring billions of dollars we don’t have into a war that really doesn’t impact our national security. I know it’s a popular bipartisan thing, or at least was, but I never bought into it.
Sure, if you want to punish Russia for its actions I am down for that, but all that seemed to happen was the United States and Europe ended up further damaging their energy supply, upsetting prices worldwide, and making supply chain issues much worse.
Sanctions failed, miserably. Remember how they were going to cripple the Russian economy? They crippled Germany’s prospects for being able to heat their resident’s homes this winter, not much else.
When not meeting with an endless string of western politicians and Hollywood celebrities, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky keeps calling for more sanctions against Russia and more money for his government, with little accountability for either.
