Anyone who doubts the West’s support of Ukraine should follow the posts by Dr. Timothy Snyder - a Yale historian whose specialty is Eastern European History. Anyone can take his course on Ukraine for free in YouTube. And also watch the three hour meeting at the UN where he testified about Russia’s misguided attempts to justify this war. Additionally his substack explaining the ICC’s charges that support their stance on arresting Putin for documented war crimes. All of these support and add to the stance taken here.
Sure many smart scholars, intellectuals, historians and even some economists have their own views on this and Snyder's is NOT to be dismissed. But that is my point. All sides of the argument need to be included for any argument to be fully understood. Jeffery Sachs, John Miersheimer and Scott Ritter are but three others who have views which include Power Political realities and not just morality.
I'm not advocating support for Putin and Russia. I'm not "rooting" for Russian victory. I'm noting that in the "narrative", "the rest of the story" needs its place in our consciousness to relate to the whole picture.
