A fight to the death because neither side can afford to lose

Hi Mike

I have re-read this, just now and find it helpful and authoritative.  So thanks!

You wrote at the end, "In my view Russia took the more aggressive response to what was happening in the Ukraine than that of western states."  I did feel in Feb 2014, that it was understandable when Putrid took back Crimea in response to the overthrow of Yanukovich.  I thought that the authorities must have been of the same view because there was no response/sanctions/condemnation of Russia.  But that must have been the start of the war with 14,000 killed in the first 8 years?  Talks, negotiations, give and take over the 8 years went by the board.  A tragic oversight.  A missed opportunity.

Now Russia cannot afford to lose.  Now, the West cannot afford to lose.  Just a fight to the death of everyone with all being losers and ecocide smartly accelerated.

All the best.  Let's hope for the best!
