If both sides are evil, realpolitik says play them against each other, so they never get around to attacking us. That’s the dark truth behind the sentiment of wanting to support the underdog.

This sucks for the civilians over there. How far does empathy extend? `Coz we’ve all got our own problems.

It’s seems to me the eastern Slavs are better at defense than offense. But they have a penchant for revenge, as Nazi Germany found out.

And how would the US respond?

Given the high level of corruption in the Ukraine prior to the current troubles, and the Fog of War, and the Ukrainian kleptocrats inviting soldiers of fortune from around the world to come and help them (even though Twitter assures us that the Ukrainians are already winning hands down) — what are the chances that some of those weapons end up in the hands of people who will use them to harm the US?

Questions! Questions! Do the Swamp Creatures have any idea about how their virtue signaling could go wrong?
