This is twisted. Ukraine gets attacked, people killed and their land stolen by Russia, first Crimea and then Russia went for the rest. After having democracy, what did you think they would do? Just roll over for Russia and say "Oh sure, you can take over our country" Pfffftt.There is a difference between having allies and being unable to conduct a war because you have no manufacturing base to support it. There is no artillery shell factory in Ukraine.
No matter where the border end up Ukraine has done nothing but lose. Tell me one thing the average Ukrainian will have better as a result of this war?
The second part... What do you think they are? A bunch of marshmallows? "Oh they took our land, Are we better off to roll over and be owned by them? We might be better off..... This is ridiculous.
