Beautiful writing. Likely one of the best articles I have read on Medium in a while. On Ukraine. America is helping Ukraine the people as it always does, by cutting a crooked deal for money and power with their corrupt leader, fighting a proxy war with Russia they have been itching for since the wall fell, and not caring how many of the Ukrainians, Russians, or eventually other nations people die as a result. America is worse than orcs. Thank you for this beautiful essay.
