I wish I could fly Old Glory around in the bed of my truck without thinking about how Ike fomented the War on Terrorism by radicalizing a lot of Muslims.

Then we had Charlie Wilson's War in Afghanistan, created (and armed) Osama Bin Laden. Had to roll in there (for 20 years) just to find Osama in Pakistan.

However, it is situated on the Russian border and is inhabited by a significant number of Russian-speaking sympathizers. The Donbas is where there is an active, slow-burning conflict.
The Ukrainian government would like to cleanse the area, but any Russian government which allows that to happen would immediately fall.
Additionally, the Ukrainians having weaponized language and given free rein to right-wing militias have created further divisions.
I believe the Russian military parading on the border is indicating to the Ukrainians the real cost of cleansing the Donbas.

What actually scares Putin is that a former part of the Soviet Union will show success in adopting democracy and fighting corruption, both anathema to Putin's kleptocracy.
FWIW, Russian speakers in Ukraine are far more free than Russian speakers in Russia.

But all kidding aside, the smart people in Germany mostly dismissed Hitler as a clown. But that left millions for Hitler to work with....
