Hi All: Like most people in the Bay Area, I'm sheltering at home. I'm trying to use this opportunity to catch up on projects that are on my back burner and trying not to feel too anxious about the worst case scenarios that are circulating.

1. No because Ukraine just wants to be left alone, but Russia just wants Ukraine back because it seems like they don't want the Soviet Union to die away 2. I'm not really good at persuading people to do stuff, but my strategy would probably be to say that Ukraine is an independent country ...Read more and even if Russia takes over Ukraine again they'll have to also take control of the people, because even if they say they own Ukraine on paper, they're also going to have to make everybody in Ukraine believe them Less

No. 2 would be very hard for the Russian leaders to accomplish, because most Ukrainians want their country to be a separate nation, not a satellite country under Russian control.
