He wants the Ukraine. He will have the Ukraine. It will happen in his lifetime, and preferably as soon as possible for him.
Most of the people in Dombas will be happy to have him. Germany does not want to give up the gas pipeline. This is a rare area that Trump was right. I doubt Putin would have done this if he didn't have that leverage. He can freeze out Germany in a blink. There is a wedge now.
Are we willing to expend lives to intercede? He is going to do this. Are we willing to risk nukes? I doubt it. I hope not. But it's not my decision.
