And the US is still not listening to Mearsheimer !
If the US wants to fight a war about democracy and the American Way it did in Vietnam, then it should have the guts to put US boots on the ground rather than sacrificing a 3rd world (proxy) army and an impoverished people to do its dirty work.
If the war ends tomorrow, then the Ukraine is already wrecked with the blossoms of its population having migrated and not likely to return and dont mention the dead and maimed.
No sane person would say that the Ukraine is better off today than it was in 2013 !
