The risk here is losing the war even after the west has spent USD100 bn or so per year supporting Ukraine when it could have used these funds to increase its defense spending against a potential victorious and belligerent Russia.
Another reason for the west to make every effort to ensure Ukraine will not lose this war.
I was wondering what you think about the goings on in Georgia? To me it feels like I’m watching Ukraine 2.0 namely A country trying to pull closer to the West for which there is popular support, but the Russia leaning leadership is pulling in the opposite direction. Large scale Protests spilling out into the street. Part of the country has already been annexed by Russia etc. Do you share this view?
