I don't disagree with anything in your statement, ribit, but what's your plan for making that happen?
Do we continue on propping up a corrupt "ally," like we did in South Vietnam, and watch them slowly degrade and disintegrate?
Do we send in our own troops to beat Putin into submission and get mired down in a long, drawn-out, bloody shooting war, which could potentially start World War III?
Do we negotiate the best deal we can get for Ukraine to end this war, try to hold legitimate elections in Ukraine to find out what the Ukrainian people actually want going forward, promote business relationships and deals that strengthen ties and mutually benefit the Ukrainian and American people, and use our economic power to hopefully restrain and eventually neuter Putin?
You tell me.
