    If Ukraine fails in it’s defense, the one person I’d blame most would be Biden for being a scared timid old man slow walking aid. Trump would be number 2.

        Since 2014, it was not possible to control Azov and the far right in Ukraine. They could do what they wanted, they were above the law, and still are.

        You say that like there was a serious risk of nuclear war. But the issue wasn’t Ukraine, it was the rules based internation order that the US set up and benefitted from (despite also frequently breaking the rules)

          The risk of nuclear war should never be dismissed. All it takes is one mistake or a single miscommunication and all bets are off. We are already in the most dangerous possible situation with Russia and the US having very little military dialogue, and the last non proliferation treaty expiring. The issue has of course always been the US hegemony, and the war in Ukraine is a proxy war that the west is fighting against Russia because it won’t bend the knee.
