So why would we want to enter Ukraine? Their leader is a feckless puppet who kowtows to the demands of opprobrious individuals and has even shown acceptance of criminal entities and people including Stepan Bandera who was a Nazi collaborator and part of the OUN that persecuted and killed Poles, Russians, and Jews living in Ukraine. In an interview with Fox News he just shrugged his shoulders and dismissed Azov militants executing Russian POWs as being 'what they do'.
I'm leaning further towards the idea that Ukraine burned its bridges when it acted as the chief violator of the Minsk ceasefire. To his credit and dishonour Zelensky tried to reign in the ultranationalists who were looking to continue fighting only to bend the knee to Denys Yantar.
People are deluding themselves if they think there wouldn't be reprisals against the Russian speaking populations of Crimea and Donbass if somehow the Ukrainians retook control of them.
Eisenhower was so right! The MIC has stolen our tax dollars, our infrastructure, our health care, and our education. We just got out of 20 years of war and now Biden is in the pockets of the MIC again by sending billions of dollars of our tax dollars in equipment to Ukraine.
And the MIC just loved that we left all of that equipment after the last war.
Agreed.
I have been trying to add up each week how much aid has been sent to Ukraine and it's over $17 billion dollars. The U.S. has only helped prolong the conflict by sending weapons to continue the fighting in Ukraine. Hopefully soon someone from our government will encourage talks of de-escalation and move towards helping end the violence and destruction there.
As for the UN it does a lot of peacekeeping work around the world with as of 2019, 100,411 people serving in UN peacekeeping operations (86,145 uniformed, 12,932 civilian, and 1,334 volunteers). European nations contribute nearly 6,000 units.
You did a good job describing how many people the UN has in place in various areas.

More and more people in the world are coming around to the idea that the fewer Russians there are in the world, the better. Whether it's through war deaths, lower birth rates, bad health caused by declining economy or alcoholism, whatever it takes. There are 144 million of them left. I'm keeping count.
Is Putin more like the Wesly Snipes character/drug dealer in New Jack City or Scarface by the end of the movie. He's daring someone to stand up to him.
Have we all made peace with our maker? This nut is up while we sleep. How’s it go? Maybe we learned this for a reason.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my Soul to keep
If I should die before I 'wake,
I pray the Lord my Soul to take.
Or
I may have been born yesterday
But I've been up All Night
