The conventional wisdom is that big bad Russia will outlast Ukraine. But we should remember that after 20 years they had to exit Afghanistan in defeat. Same for us.

The French were chased out of Vietnam and big bad US of A was as well.

The common thread here is that some smaller countries can win the day because they are fighting for their lives.

We did it in the 1770s when England ruled the world. Because our passion for independence stimulated our creativity enough to oust the beasts of domination.

Slavi Ukraini!
