Ukraine is like Russia's Mexico.
So, it would be, to us, like fighting to take back Texas.
Or like us trying to take Mexico?
Seems more accurate description of what russia wants to do.
"Ukraine as Russia's colony" is a popular viewpoint.
Leadership in Moscow has been making flawed decisions since some point during the Cold War. Now they want to say, "hey, let's go back to 1985 and act like nothing happened". It won't work and a lot of people may die in the attempt.
Yeah, I would guess Ukraine is flush with corruption.
So was the Republic of Korea in 1950. But wonder of wonders: without constant attack from without and subversion from within, it became a stable, productive country. There are lessons in that for the curious.
Cheers

Wasn't there something a few years ago about Hillary's Brother and a cement company?
Hillary's brother and a mining company. She got him mining rights in Haiti and they absconded with 2 billion in gold. Then he died. And the only person in the world that reported it was Hillary on Twitter. 😂

The only people reporting it as some sort of inevitable conflict are the Biden administration and the media. Everyone else is denying it's anything too serious yet. They're trying to pick a fight. You gotta figure at some point Russia will at least threaten to oblige them.

There's also the situation in Kazakhstan to consider. The Russians believe the CIA is behind that crap, and they're likely correct, imo. Between Ukraine and Kazakhstan, Russia's national security is being threatened on two fronts.
The question is, did Putin and Trump discuss all of this back when Putin tossed Trump that soccer ball and are the Russians playing along? I believe the answer to both is yes.
Time will tell.

I have also feared agency involvement, but honestly see no signs of it all.
And I've been looking.
fwiw.
Maybe they suddenly got a whole lot better at not being so obvious?
Seems unlikely, but I guess anything's possible.
