the reason is simple, russia is for big. ukraine is too simple. russia itself is the largest country on planet earth with a relatively huge economy for the region and 145 million people who live there. ukraine has a population of about 40 million. it s the poorest country in europe. it s got an average annual income that s much lower than albania s. so just by looking at the most basic wikipedia numbers, if ukraine remained a sovereign country, ukraine it would have to reach a negotiated settlement with russia. pitch battles were not going to do it. that s not a moral judgment. you can root for the ukrainian military all you want. it s still a fact. the second thing that was immediately evident about this war was how unusually destructive it was, and was going to be. it wasn t just ukraine that was getting pummeled, though it certainly was, it was the entire western economy, including our economy. russian energy fuels europe. a recession in germany was certain to lead to a re
they re choosing not to. he didn t say a word about that at the united nations, of course, because they want war. neither did blinken. president putin picked this week to add to fuel to the fire that he started shows his utter contempt for the un charter, the general assembly, and for this council. the very international order that we ve gathered here to uphold is being shredded before our eyes. we cannot, we will not, allow president putin to get away with it. every council member should send a clear message that these reckless nuclear threats must stop immediately. tucker: okay. so tony blinken, secretary of state, is a but for an, a failed rock musician, reading a paper about how putin is bad. sitting behind him is tory
