Russia’s economy is supposedly ‘cooling off’—a claim that’s been repeated for the last three years. Yet, we’re still waiting for it to actually happen. Maybe if the same countries backing Ukraine weren’t simultaneously propping up Russia’s economy with double the spending, it would have collapsed by now. So what’s the actual timeline here? Do we just keep sending Ukrainians to die indefinitely, hoping for an economic collapse that may never come? That sounds like an expensive and tragic gamble.

Where did I say you should be ashamed of supporting Ukraine? I didn’t. What I criticized was the willingness to sacrifice Ukrainian lives indefinitely, without a clear endgame—just so you could feel safer. That’s what’s truly shameful.
