What are the odds that this former Soviet country halfway around the world -- a country that Vladimir Putin wanted to invade -- would have such enormous influence on U.S. politics? If Trump had been reelected, which he likely would have been but for COVID, would his suspicion of Ukraine have tempered the U.S. response to Russia's aggression?
