Proxy war, remember? It doesn't matter if ukraine loses, or how many ukranians die - only if we benefit in the exchange, which we do - and alot.
The trouble is that you can't pick a lane. When confronted with the humanitarian good of us support in this conflict, it's bad for business. When confronted with the actual return on this business, it's a humanitarian disaster. The obvious staring you right in the face, either way. That this is a humanitarian disaster that the us can help with, and benefit greatly from helping with, at the same time. Why did you think we waded in at the fourth quarter? There's no win here for russia, just some hopeful version of a less humiliating defeat. There's no loss here for the us, just the containment of two, count em two, geopolitical rivals..at a fraction of the cost we spend for those same aims.
Now, obviously, I think we find ourselves here because far too much of the world, russia included, apparently, has been huffing fsb paint. Thing is, that fsb paint isn't supposed to make sense, which is why it doesn't. It's supposed to be nonsense, because it supports a post truth "depoliticized" worldview with intersectionality far beyond just putin and his merry band of looters in russia, lol.
