Ukrainians Just Want the War to be Over, But Aren't Allowed to Say It
Seems to me that the right has, once again, somehow managed to be righter than the left.
Some conservatives veered over into weirdly pro-Putiny territory for awhile.
And I absolutely sympathized with the pro-Ukrainian fervor on the left for awhile.
But when it became we should fight to the last Ukranian...that was too much.
It long ago became a meat grinder.
And Ukrainians themselves seem to have concluded it's not worth it.
I'm certainly no expert--not by a long shot.
But I get the feeling that, as is so often the case today, the experts don't know much more than the rest of us.
At any rate, I long ago started to think that Trump was right, and ending this ought to be priority 1.
There hasn't seemed to be much hope of Ukrainian victory for some time--though the blue team has seemed stubbornly resistant to admitting this.
I do think that, to some extent, conservatives just picked the side opposite the side that the blues picked...
So I don't think them being right on this one counts that much in their favor.
But, anyway, my fairly ignorant current view is that it would be good for this to just stop.
There'll be opportunities in the future to get the territory back for Ukraine.
If Putin hasn't learned a lesson from this, I'm not sure what would teach him.
Russia's losses have been staggering.
But, thing is, so have Ukraine's...
