Until I can get an intelligence briefing as good or better than POTUS, I can't have a truly informed opinion. I care but I don't know the right answers, I don't know what to support. I have only poorly informed opinions.

While it is water under the bridge at this point, I have wondered if it would not have been better to have long ago had some negotiated accommodation with Russia to avoid all the death and destruction. The annexation of Crimea was a clue that Russia was not going to tolerate a Ukraine aligned with NATO and the European Union. I have been told these ideas a nieve and dangerous. I don't disagree, they were just speculation. Like I said, we don't have enough of the truth and intelligence to really have an informed opinion. At the time of the Invasion of Iraq, I trusted that the decision was based on accurate, non-public information. It is clear now that we were duped. Chances are we are being duped again.

Have you been duped as well, it seems the Russian people have been completely duped.
