Marty, I appreciate your analysis of the Ukrainian matter. You covered the issue quite thoroughly. My concern is the apparent disregard for civilian casualties and the devastation to the Ukrainian infrastructure. If Putin intends to incorporate Ukraine within the Russian umbrella, he won't be able to afford to rebuild all that has been destroyed. Even more significantly, the Ukrainian people will never forget this assault on their country. They'll be a thorn in the side of the Russians for decades to come. It appears that Putin's gain will be minimal and the damage to his office and the Russian people will last for all time. My only other observation is that if the CIA and high-level U.S. politicians have been using Ukraine for nefarious purposes, I hope their activities will be clearly revealed, and swift and significant accountability will follow.
Thanks for another quality thought-provoking piece.
Marv, thanks for your kind words. I agree wholeheartedly that we need to find out exactly what our involvement has been in Ukraine - from overthrowing governments to bio-weapons, let us hope the truth comes out. Best, MHH
