Zelensky and Ukraine are folding

A small point is being missed in all these discussions of Russia violating Ukrainian sovereignty. Ukraine was an integral part of Russia for over 300 years. It's only been an independent country for a generation. It is conceivable that the borders decided on for Ukraine in the 1990's may not be the most appropriate ones. In addition, Ukraine, if it did become closely associated with NATO, would represent an extreme threat to Russian security and independence. While NATO might indeed like the idea that they rule the planet, other nations, like Russia and China, may possibly disagree. While fruitcakes in both the American Republican and Democratic parties have been insisting on the crazed madness of Vladimir Putin, one could argue that his behavior looks a trifle saner than that of either Joe Biden or Lindsey Graham, lately, anyway. While American leaders may talk of the need for "regime change" in Russia and China, it is possible that China and Russia may be in a slightly better position to change the regime in Washington D.C. While the American media has been raving about the "impending revolution" in Russia, they've been unable to show anything much more than Russian policemen chasing pickpockets. So, let's face facts. NATO has just managed to get tens of thousands of people killed in a rather reasonable security operation by the Russians, to secure their borders and their southern front, by providing encouragement and a massive airlift of weapons to unrealistic Ukrainian nationalists. Well done! Nice work! Just further evidence of Plato's thesis, that Dictators are often better leaders than Democrats.
