Kiev has to understand that defense is the better offense.

 And they have to accept the idea they could be left alone in the dark with this Russia.

That does not make it David vs Goliath but 2 beasts bleeding each and licking each others wounds for decades even centuries.

I from all people am not in favor of pulling the plug.

But as i wrote before , should this go on for the fucking ever We may be the ones turning Russia to a Red Han Vessel and provide access to critical resources , Red China does not need Africa the West may need Africa to keep up on the pace , should Siberia be lost for good compare to the free world everything is in the shit...
