I never claimed sanity, but I claim to not be stupid. Letting the Kremlin folk have tanks and armaments against the Ukrainian folks is nothing but genocide and I'm very much against genocide. Moscow is trying to force it's will and power on another nation and I'm against that as well. Ukraine wants to determine their own future. The Kremlin govt is no more legitimate than the Ukrainian one. Either none are legitimate or all are legitimate. Just because Putin and Co give their approval to the terrorists that overthrew the elected govt of Donbas does not make it the legitimate govt of Donbas. I think the only fair solution is to separate many areas in Russia.
In a family, as in a country, if Daddy goes berserk, slashes mama's throat and kills 3 of his 9 children, do you think there is ever hope to put the happy family back together again? I don't think so. And the people of Ukraine will never again feel anything but hatred for the Kremlin govt.
It's done. It's over. Russia will be lucky to keep the area west of Moscow if the world truly gets involved. Moscow should quit while they are ahead.
