I talk with Jaroslav Romanchuk, a Belarusian dissident now in Kyiv, about the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. You can also watch it on video here: I found Jaroslav’s perspective interesting because he blames US officials for overstating the risk of a Russian invasion in order to panic Ukraine into signing a bad diplomatic deal giving away its Eastern provinces. This seems to be the view held by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well. Romanchuk also spells out the long-term Ukrainian strategy, which is to pursue an economic growth and dynamism that will eventually make it clearly a better alternative to the Putin regime.
This sounds like Neville Chamberlain all over again with Joe Biden in the role of patsy to the dictator Putin. Romanchuk's opinion appears to be in direct opposition to that of The Cosmopolitan Globalist, another contributor to Symposium. Perhaps you could get them together to discuss their different views on what is going. From my perspective I am more inclined to believe the man on the ground, Romanchuk, especially when he is an explicit advocate of freedom.
