intellectual potential is when you plunge your country into a civil war and then keep escalating it until you're at war with a neighboring power because you just hate russians that much
Hey, Ukraine is a country that goes international with that. I mean how many Americans even heard of Ukro before 2022. At least they are dying with tears on the cheeks of western libs. The western libs are crying in buckets.. That means something. That's why Ukraine's 2nd language is english and they have changed the slavic Christmas to english christmas... See.. Great achievement.
To be fair, they did heard of Ukraine before 2022. They're a lot of yelling and screaming back in 2014-2015 after Crimea succeeded from Ukraine, which lots of American loss their shit because you shouldn't have the self-determination that doesn't align with Westerner's agenda, apparently.
But that was the time when Obama was busy with Libya , Syria and what not. Oh sorry drone strikes in Afghanistan and in Pakistan. Americans were mostly busy with that.
