Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.
Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.
Ukraine most certainly is not fully engulfed requiring a surround and drown.
Hence the “Not that I disagree about Ukraine” right at the beginning. Just pointing out the fireman metaphor doesn’t really work here.
You are welcome to provide a more apt analogy; mine works fine. @cheese_greater@lemmy.world caught the gist, you may be stuck in the mist?
You’d think a real estate mogul of all things would understand the value of land even with damaged property. Almost like he’s sympathetic to Russia or something.
