Thank-you very much for this great article. I'm moved enough to go on a short rant, god save me: I just listened to an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy, who's in favour (among several US Republicans) of appeasing Russia by gifting them at the very least, the Donbas. I consider that shallow, short-term thinking. In my very humble opinion, I don't support appeasing Russia in any way, because looking long-term, one can envision a dismal future of conflict as Putin slowly gobbles up the rest of the former Soviet Union including western-leaning nations. And just considering "Balance of power", even I can understand the strategic importance of having a strong Ukrainian disrupter by virtue of its geographical position between Russia and China. US Republicans are whining about a long war and at the same time disparaging the aid that could end it, especially as Russia appears so desperate at this time that they've turned to North Korea.

Yup. It is a position that rests entirely on short term domestic political gain, which clearly ignores the entire geopolitical context.
