James Roof, Ukraine has had the fortitude to defend itself against Putin's Russia. That's some feat. In all the destruction, Ukraine is remarkably rebuilding itself after being interfered with for years by the big thug to the north.

If only America and the West had similar resolve and speed, Putin's forces would have already been ousted from Ukrainian territory.

The cost to Ukraine, the world, and Russia has been colossal because of one person, Vladimir Putin.

What is your article about? Should America and the West NOT have come to the defense of Ukraine? America has had foreign policy mistakes, but the governing people have been elected.
