    No, I mean everyone. I think it’s stupid to provoke nuclear war so a bunch of extremely wealthy Capitalists can make more money. Ukraine is an enormous money laundering operation. Ukraine doesn’t have the reinforcements to win. That’s the reality regardless of which “side” one chooses. I don’t care about either Russia or Ukraine. This a European issue. I agree with Trump on very few things. Leaving NATO is one of those things.

      Putin has been slowly taking lands of strategic importance for over a decade. Taking Ukraine would give Russia total control of the Black sea and a significant geographic advatage in the region. NATO was formed specifically to prevent Russia from expanding and it is very much in US’s interest that Russia doesnt decide to take over Europe.

      Funny hearing your concern about money laundering as Putin and his cronies famously steal from state budgets and launder that money through various shell companies and even US real estate.
