They ought to place "Under New Ownership" signs at the borders, which change a time or two every century. Ukraine is NOT a small country, and it also has several neighbors who are not small, either. Like Turkey & Poland, etc. They can help, if needed. Ukraine is rich in mineral resources, has great farmland as well. But, it is considered a "developing" country by some, with a low standard of living for its citizens. Western countries are trying to get Ukraine into the fold, so it can be exploited, (and used strategically), and this concerns the Russians. See? Hope that helps you some. So, I don't support the neo-con Armchair Generals who are calling Biden a chicken because they imagine their idol Trump would send in 500,000 Marines and a swarm of B-52's, to show that The Good Guys always win. See? It's a problem, but not one that warrants U.S. military action. Now you know. Not going to argue with you.
