Why yes, I do have an opinion about Ukraine!
Right now, we're witnessing the closest we'll come to in our lifetimes to World War III. Vladimir Putin was a despot all along. However, he compares as much to the oligarchs that started the first war as the German individual that started the second one. The invasion is a political and economic power grab for a sovereign land that Russians apparently love to oppress. Ukraine is "the world's breadbasket" for a reason.
My only question is, will sanctions be enough to quash the threat or will other countries have to put boots on the ground? The invasion hasn't gone quite according to Putin's plan, and the resiliency of the Ukrainian people has been inspiring, but the stalemate is not going to last.
