Ukraine – May 2024

Washington Post analyst Max Boot had laid out the reasons why Ukraine has been thrown on the defensive in its two-year plus fight to keep from being conquered by Russia. I worry that Russia will make a Blitzkrieg-style breakthrough and seize Kiev, while America watches, the way the Nazis seized Paris in 1940, while America watched. I don’t get the impression that NATO countries are doing everything (without engaging in combat with the Russians) that they could to help and inspire Ukraine defend itself from the brute forces of imperialism. It’s a grim time in Ukraine.
