I will say that, despite all my previous claims, and calls for THD and genuine desire for Ukraine to be gone - we shouldn't be fighting Ukraine in the first place.

It's too late now.
We ARE doing that, now.
The conflict must be prosecuted with ruthless efficiency and strict screenings of any and all "defectors" from Ukraine.
I almost want to start demanding mass bombings of civilian areas (since they'll just be dragged off from the street, given a rifle and forced to die for The West anyway). Interestingly, THIS particular point is a softening of my position, because I fucking WAS demanding it at some point. But now I see that it's not the way and it's a good thing I'm not the one in charge (kinda).

WITH ALL THAT SAID, we shouldn't be fighting Ukrainians.
Western Ukrainians - maybe. They're Poles. But we shouldn't be fighting all of Ukraine.

This is not a war that is productive in any way.
Or it wouldn't be, except the West shitted itself and Russia managed to actually improve its economy, unfuck its alliances and weed out (((the traitors))) from its own population.
... well, they kinda left on their own, but the point stands.

But Ukraine isn't the fucking enemy we should be fighting. They're just a tool.
A tool that should be in OUR toolbox, for fuck's sake.
