If the fighting ever stops, what then? Who decides boundaries? Who supports the Ukrainians during the years of rebuilding? What new alliances are to be formed? During the 1950’s the debate was on who lost China. We should ask ourselves, who lost Russia in the 1990’s. Things could have been done to settle problems and secure a lasting peace so we all could bury the Cold War.

“Who lost Russia”, great question. We should have kept them closely engaged with us and propped up leaders in the vein of Gorbachev and those seeing the advantages of freedom. We had/have a space station we built together. We memorialized their fallen cosmonauts with a marker on the moon. We tried to help, if possible, any survivors of their sunken submarine Kursk. We should have pursued friendship with them as they had thrown off communism. It’s sad to me and a lost opportunity.
The Russians lost Russia in the 1990’s, through corruption. They had a chance to join the world - specifically Europe - but the weak alcoholic Yeltsin hand picked KGB operative Putin and the rest is sad history.
