Regarding Marc Estrin’s commentary: Pacifism is great but has its limits. Can we infer that Estrin and Schumann would have been content to let Nazism run amok, because that’s what the Ukrainians have already lived through with Russian subjugation in the 1930s.
The closing quote is especially condescending — to suggest that Ukrainians are pawns of the U.S. war machine and should allow the U.S. to negotiate for them. They are their own people with their own will and are showing fortitude which we should admire and support.
