John Mearsheimer predicted Ukraine would get clobbered after US "led them down the primrose path." "We" spent 5 or 6 $ billion overthrowing Ukraine's elected president and pushed NATO right into Russia's lap. Putin asked nicely for many years while Ukies killed 14,000 Russian speaking citizens who protested the Neocon coup. Man of his word. And he's winning at the same time the ruble is tied to gold and oil,making him money while threatening the almighty dollar. "We" have given Zelelnski's Laundromat $70 Billion more to slush around. That's what winning means to him! Meanwhile all his oligarch buddies zipped back to Israel on their private jets. Putin is a patriot just like Trump. Don't blame either one for fighting back.
