re: How many of you will be upset if/when Ukraine thwarts Russia?

We're going to be affected no matter who wins. Ukraine wins, and we'll still smother Russia with restrictions and sanctions in order to isolate them. We may even start targeting countries that aided Russia during the war. There will still be massive aid packages being sent to Ukraine on a regular basis if they win.

We're damned either way. So why worry? Why emotionally invest? Worrying won't change shite because we've zero power to change shite. So, my analogy isn't bad if you accept that we're powerless, and are just treating it as a boring pastime.
