The fault line between East and West runs through Ukraine. Either it finds a way to be the bridge, or it is the battlefield.

The problem for Ukraine is their backers are not a steadfast looking bunch. Would you want Biden and Boris at your back?

I suspect the Russians will get the east side and the Poles and various others will get the west side, by the time winter comes.

It's harder to be angry with the person in front of you, when you have a knife in your back.
