Better to be a "boot licker" than someone valuing a tiny bit of his money more than millions of lives.

"Thought process", sure sure.

I don't understand your thought process here. Not meaning to be obtuse, but how did Ukraine do this? And, honestly, sorry to ask, but what does erased from the map mean? I get that it's a complicated situation, but how on earth should it all be resolved in a way that would leave everything better, or at least not long-term worse? Thanks in advance for your insights.
