Lets look at recent war history: -Iraq: country wrecked ......Iraq was better off pre war than now
-Afghanistan : country wrecked......Afghanistan was better off pre war than now
-Syria: country wrecked........Syria was better off pre war than now
-Ukraine: country partially wrecked ...Ukraine better off pre war than now
Do you see the progression here?
The reasonable position on war from the point of view of the host country (in this case The Ukraine) is to avoid it in the first instance and, IMO, the Ukraine failed to heed the outcomes of recent wars; namely Iraq, Afghanistan & Syria. .......just look at Aleppo....its the epitome of civilisation failure and the same with parts of the Ukraine and Gaza now.
