Ukraine is best off with Russia. This much is clear now.
No chance of NATO. No chance of the EU. No aid in reconstruction - instead a $500B bill from Trump.
They'll be in even worse shape than now - in ten years - not... "finally in shape to be admitted to the EU".
Even Russia haters must know by now, that it would be a much more prosperous place in ten years if it starts working with Russia tomorrow.
Money earned in Ukraine, will stay in Ukraine and work to the benefit of its citizens - not for paying reparations to Donald Trump that exceed the size of his initial help by 3X.
Instead of living like bums in Europe and America, people can come back to their homes. Build businesses. Take advantage of a market 200M in size, without any stupid EU regulations or US tariffs.
I think the greatest indictment of Zelensky is not the grotesque campaign of kidnapping people on the street for the army, but that hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees have returned to their homes in "occupied areas".
If Zelensky can't take care of people to such an extent, that they rather move back into their bombed out towns and live under the so called "aggressor" - what's the use from him?
One day, the refugee benefits and other nice things will end, and you'll be left second class citizens in someone else's home. Without a country, without a language, and without a culture. Your kids will be Americans and Germans.
