Stand back and take a look at this "End of the end of history" sub specie aeternitatis and one will see that Ukraine is just one more in a succession of human conflicts between elites warring over control of resources. Here specifically Russian elites trying to wrest control from Ukrainian elites at the cost of everyone who happens to be in the way whether Russian or Ukrainian. Not the harbinger of a new birth of freedom just another repetition of the same old same old. Which elites will control resources. Which elites will profit from the conflict. Which elites get to dictate the terms of peace when the elites, on one side or both, are exhausted from prosecuting the war.
Nevertheless wars must be fought and Ukraine is a better cause than most taking place on the planet today.
