After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia granted conditional independence to Ukraine: They must remain demilitarized and remain neutral. When given a choice, Ukraine chose to become enemies to Russia but not all Ukrainians agreed with this choice. A civil war ensued. The Russian speaking people who embraced Russian culture were terrorized and destroyed. Putin considered the lust of the west for his country’s natural resources which has a value of $75 trillion to be an existential threat. Donald Trump has no interest in being Zelensky’s military and monetary sugar daddy and refuses to stay involved in Ukraine’s spat with Russia. Thank God, he refuses to sacrifice young American lives in a war that cannot be won. Europe, on the other hand, does not see it that way and soon, young Europeans may be dying for a lost cause.
