Ukraine, Russia, and the West

Well, I wouldn’t say I’m being Russia friendly, more US-skeptical. I don’t want to extend a security guarantee to Ukraine because it’s both provocative and not really in the US interests. Countries that are already NATO allies, like Latvia, sort of become a vital US interest exactly because they’ve been extended an alliance. Even though I don’t support the extension of the alliance. Slightly complicated, but consistent, right?

By the way, like seven people have reported my post where I linked to the logan roy “fuck off” video in response to your post. I don’t think that was out of line but if you disagree I’ll take a day (or two, or three, or ten, whatever you decide) ban if you say so.
