"A woman decides to leave her abusive husband, finds a new spouse. But her ex keeps stalking her, beating her up and also beats up her new guy. After years of terror, the new guy eventually gives up and abandons her, leaving her easy prey for her ex. As the police talk to her in the hospital, battered and bruised yet again, one of the cops goes 'she would have been so much better off if she had just never left her husband'."
The woman in this metaphor is actually two women, siamese twins where one half is a neo nazi who waited until the other half went to sleep, then handcuffed her and started cutting them apart with a rusty saw and promises to murder her twin if she sings russian pop songs or celebrates christmas in january. See the problem with the comparison.
Ukrainian ultranationalists overthrew a democracy. They were willing to pay the cost of chaos and bloodshed and provoking Russia, because they felt the ends would justify the means and the lives lost along the way. Biden's administration was rife with zealots who wanted to meddle in US internal politics to get more support for their revolutionary regime, willing to have their young men (not themselves) keep fighting till the bitter end even when the conclusion was already inevitable. So here we are, closer and closer to the close.
Nazis have this penchant for picking bad fights, losing wars of attrition and failing obvious moral calculations. Ukraine paid a bitter price in this conflict, we've basically wiped out an entire geo-demographic and created the first ghost country. What did they win from it all? 11 boys go to war and 11 return on their shields or without their shields or don't return at all. In five years we'll be debating on PARD about EU pushes to deport young Ukrainian men back to their collapsed rump state
