Consider the cost of war.  The US has not spilled a drop of blood in this war, yet it is costing us quite a bit.  Russia has had over 750,000 casualties since they invaded Ukraine (killed or wounded).  It's estimated that Russia spends about $750 million per DAY on the war.  And why?  It should be obvious by now that Ukrainians don't want to become Russians.  They want to be left alone, not taken over.  Putin started a war for his own benefit, not for Ukraine's, nor even for Russia's.  And he can't back out now without losing face.

Those who start unnecessary wars are the worst people on earth.
