Russia has always regarded the Ukraine as part of Russia- at least for several hundred years with a history reaching more than a thousand years. The United States basically has no strategic interest in Ukraine. It makes no difference in Iowa if Russia owns it or if a puppet government of the west owns it. It could be that decades of dope use- even the President's son was a coke head apparently, has taken a toll on upper political class rationality in the west including Europe. Too much dope might make political tunnel vision and paranoia marinated with stupidity
The cost to the United States in harm to the nation’s international trade and military picture is substantial by supporting the Ukraine government militarily and financially. So why choose stupid, counterproductive policy?f the United States wanted to act like a rational actor and divide the counter so the Russians can salvage their pride and sensibility keeping much of the land of the east that it already has recovered in the war it could probably have a peace right away too, saving hundreds of thousands of casualties. That would be a good Christmas present for everyone.
At some point the U.S. government needs to get on good terms and return to doing business with Russia. With Russia friendly with the west the chance of a conflict with China is far less too. Dividing the world in order to have a Hatfield-McCoy hillbilly feud foe decades is simply idiotic; how did morons take over the U.S. government anyway.
End the feud before Christmas and begin rebuild the entire region directly with a mini-Marshall plan to make sure the world economy is restored. And put a green spin on that Marshall plan that should include Russian portions of Ukraine as well.
