I haven’t had much to say about the whole Russia / Ukraine thing because I’m somewhat ambivalent about the whole business.
On the one hand, yes, Vladimir Putin is a megalomaniac Russian bastard like so many of his political predecessors (Lenin, Stalin, Peter the Great etc.), and Russians themselves are a bunch of assholes (see: Russian oligarchs, Russian mafia, Russian hackers, Russian corruption etc.).
Unfortunately, the Ukrainians are not exactly little angels themselves. While they lack the global power of Russia, Ukraine is just as corrupt as their next-door neighbor, as shown with their dealings with our very own Biden criminal enterprise, to name but one example of their bastardy.
In other words, if Russia is the #1 Asshole in this area of the world, Ukraine is very definitely #1a.
Hence the Kissinger Statement, first spoken about the Iran / Iraq War of the 1980s: “It’s a pity there has to be a winner.”
I’m not saying that the Ukrainians shouldn’t resist Putin’s invasion with might and main and kill as many Russians as possible; I’m just saying that we should reserve our sympathy for Russia’s next target, e.g. the Finns, who definitively do not deserve the Ukrainian treatment.
