There goes that bull in the China shop again. Good God.
Yep. Like it or not, Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and okaying 'minor border incursions' led to this war. Nut there is more to this than that. The Donbas is rich in mineral wealth and while there are 'goodies' elsewhere in Ukraine, the peaches are mainly on the east side of that pie. It is evident that Putin's forces were trying to seize the port cities
in toto, to land lock the rest of Ukraine, which would control trade, and ultimately, the whole country.
This was a war of material acquisition, of the taking of resources, first and foremost, and perpetrated by Russia. Should any part of Ukraine be given to Russia?
No.
Zeleneskey has been doing what any president would do, fighting back. The Ukrainians have changed the face of modern warfare in this conflict.
As for any aid provided by the US, the question is one of what aid, in what form, from whom, and in what measure has Ukraine actually received? , and, for that matter how much went missing from whose direct control. We know Poroshenko got his grift, How much, if any has Z gotten, and was playing the kickback game with the previous regime just the cost of doing bid'ness? If corruption is a problem, pray tell, who got the money?
My bet is that money never went 'feet wet' over the Atlantic.
