Ukraine I was asked by a representative from Poland in the early 1990s to define priorities for rebuilding Ukraine. My answer weas high speed transportation of people, goods and information. I don’t believe that has changed at all in the intervening years. Other parts of the former Warsaw Pact had worked first on information, creating high-speed information networks – the internet – across their countries.
My heart breaks for the needless bloodshed. Both Russian and Ukrainian. Those invested in it being a prolonged battle obviously do not have their children on the front lines
Spot on. There are all the platitudes about “Supporting Ukraine” and how this is really a fight for “Democracy”, but all I see are the same morons who orchestrated the collapse of Afghanistan now telling us how to fight a war.
Weren’t they calling the US imperialist during the height of the Iraq War? Or, better yet, calling Ronald Reagan silly for investing in “Star Wars”?
