To be an enemy of the USA is dangerous;
to be a friend is fatal.
Nelson Mandela famously said:
When two neighbouring countries fight each other,
just know that the USA visited one of them.
Jeffrey Sachs recently said:
In America, if you don't like 'the other side',
you don't negotiate with them,
you try to overthrow them.
If you can't do it covertly, you do it overtly.
Mr Sachs is, infamously, the great proponent
of Disaster Capitalism, which brought
misery to millions and Putin to power.

But his analysis of the Ukraine war is correct, and his solution - basically that Ukraine should be a neutral buffer-state - the only one that is practical as long as Russia is an autocratic kleptocracy.
Let us not forget that Stalin (Putin's hero) seized a third of Europe after WW2, and Russia expanded its empire tenfold at least (Poland, the Baltic States, the Caucasus, Siberia, Western Asia) after the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
