  1. Man, I don't think we're gettin' the straight of this. I kind of feel like Trump was the one friend of the anti-oligarch president, Zelensky, and the entire Washington establishment had more blood they wanted to suck out of the corpse of the former Soviet Union. I think Russia would LOVE to have Ukraine back in the fold. So I doubt Putin's motives. But I also know that major players in the USA would LOVE for Ukraine to totter on as a weak country ruled by oligarchs. I think there are people in high places in the USA who profit enormously from the situation as it is, and so it is very hard for President Zelensky to truly enact real reform. Keep those board memberships coming, Burisma! Anybody with a shred of discernment can see that the big to-do about Trump's phone call was to distract from public-record evidence of Biden extorting the Ukrainian government to keep the company that paid his son big bucks to do nothing from being prosecuted. "Fire the prosecutor or you don't get the $2 billion in aid (or whatever the # was)." There's pay for play right out in the open, and they had to "Trump up" something against Trump, to keep the wolves away from a MAJOR Biden scandal. I think the reason Biden ran was to keep his crimes on a political plane, where going after him for anything can be painted as a political vendetta and crushed by political control of media and investigating and prosecuting agencies. Anyway, that's soapbox stuff, but I think it's important context for the situation in Ukraine. Also, I consider the EU to be a catastrophically failing project. Wrong-headed at the top. Capable of so much good, but when the central body operates on numerous myths and misconceptions, it makes things worse for all its member states. I'm not sure - in fact I very much doubt - that the EU and NATO are great for Ukraine. Then there's the history of invasion from the West. Russia doesn't want to have re-fight WW II. They're OK with Eastern Europe being independent, but there's a long history of Euros invading Russia in the last 2 or 3 centuries. They also want stable neighbors to their West, and the EU nations and USA seem utterly deranged.
