Maybe, but the increasing sympathy for, or neutrality with respect to, Russian aggression in certain U.S. circles is part of why I'm slowly doing what Jim has done quickly.

There’s no “respect for Russia”. That’s a talking point made up by democrats.

There’s a simple reality on the ground in the Ukraine, and that reality is this:

Zelensky lacks the dudes, the guns and the money to evict Putin from his country.

The left is content is feed every last Ukrainian into the meat grinder. In light of not enough dudes/guns/money, what purpose does that serve?

An obvious rejoinder is “they’re fighting for their homes”. Yes they are. Which is why one has to take the long view: get a peace agreement now. Get time to rebuild the infrastructure and re-arm. Then see about Round 2 if the D/G/M calculus is different.
