Bone up on the misery when Ukrainians are overrun and the Russian plan to erase their language and culture. Do you really think the Ukrainians fight like wildcats for U.S. and EU interests? Sounds like you're more scared of Putin's WWIII bluff than you love the Free World.

Meanwhile, the “Free World” justification continues to produce an awful lot of bodies, of ruined lives, to warrant the title. And yes, I am scared of Putin’s bluff, just as I am scared of US myopia combined with self interested warmongering. How can we look at the past 60 years of continual war with all its suffering and not acknowledge that we are going in the wrong direction. As the sooths say, If you keep on doing the same thing and keep getting the same result, maybe you are doing the wrong thing.

So Ukraine should roll over and accept injustice to make you feel safe? No one started Putin's war but Putin. And now he's learning an important lesson in front of other greedy tyrants.
