To be clear, Sacks was talking there about why he thinks the US government should let Putin conquer Ukraine. Sparing VCs embarrassment over having encouraged their portfolio companies to keep their operating capital in an insolvent bank is a higher and more important cause.

I鈥檝e been thinking about this whole war in Ukraine situation and have decided it would be better if everyone would reach a fair and mutually agreeable peace deal instead of fighting.
