Hi Jack. I agree. Russia has the sphere of influence it can afford and sorry, they can't have Ukraine because the Western sphere said so. We don't have Cuba, right? Or Venesuela. Ukraine wants to be part of the Western mafia, which is 10x that of Russia's. Why can't they? They're as close to Europe as Russia.
Is the U.S. evil? I don't see any more or less evil than the English empire before, or the Spanish, Dutch, whatever.
As for the way the war is going, what will happen in the months ahead. This video says it way better than I ever could. https://youtu.be/ZGnkISdIrz4
