You can't do that. That's the long and winding road.

Fabulous picture. You're blessed.

Yes. Putin won when he was allowed to annex Crimea in 2014 and what we're witnessing is the end game for the rest of Ukraine. Weak countries can only survive if they have strong allies, but more important than that, if they have strong allies with the capability and the political will to come...
