Great eye opening essay. And thanks for answering ine of my lingering questions about this war so well.

If indeed, Ukraine belongs to Russia (of course it never was, is, or will be), why then are they destroying Ukrainian homes, & infrastructure? And committing genocide against a people Putin claim to be Russians?

Putin want to kill the living child because that child was never his or Russia's in the first place. It remains to be seen if Europe will resolutely stand by Solomon's wisdom to defend Ukraine - & defend Europe & the West.
