👍You're preaching to the choir here. Ukr junta can't be trusted. Ukr recently demanded a 100km demilitarized zone on Russian borderland. 🤕Russia will comply by capturing 200km inside Ukr borders.
I've followed this conflict area closely since 1990 and one thing stands out. In 1992 the mayor of St Petersburg warned of the consequences of Crimea, Kharkov, Donbass not being resolved & returned to Russian Federation. He opposed NUTO backed "not see nationalists" influence in Ukr politics and described - exactly-the present state of war. This is relevant because he mentored V. Putin's early, reluctant, entry into politics. Pres Putin has had 30 years to think & plan for worst case scenario. Russia plans for surviving war and western sanctions was in the works decades ago🍻.
If I were younger, I would move to Russia in a heartbeat, and abandon all my chattels in the US. We are no longer a republic, but the United States of Stupidity. As it is, I have responsibilities here, I am a senior citizen, and I will stay with this sinking ship.
