Russia and Ukraine

Just look at those saying that Ukraine could defeat Russia. So much of what people believe is based on passion, partisanship, and wishful thinking.

With the right support they could, the pessimistic proclamations at the start of Putin's war of conquest, is a million miles from what the Ukraine has achieved, and Russia had to pay. This could of course be even better, if we didn't have an amoral narcissist in the Whitehouse, too intent on kissing Putin's arse, and who doesn't care about ordinary people, anywhere, he only cares about how they feel about how brilliant he is, that's how narcissists tend to think.

And look at Syria. Assad was nobody's favorite, but Hillary and Trump and many others warned that getting rid of him would lead to terrible sectarian violence. And look, that's come true.

You do know what a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy is right? Also getting rid of Hitler, resulted in a lot of violence, suffering and misery, does this mean the allies should have let it alone? I am dubious Trump cares about the misery and suffering of others btw. His motives seem always to put himself first.
