For the men and women of the Uni-Party Ukraine seems like the perfect conflict. We pour in money and arms. Defense contractors get filthy rich. The Russians and Ukrainians do all the dying. Putin has no choice but to quit or continue to bleed. Unfortunately, for Biden and the NeoCons, the enemy gets a vote. Putin does not actually have to sit by and take the punishment he is receiving. He can escalate, and the closer he gets to the cliff we are trying to push him off the more likely he is to do so.
