So, you are abandoning the righteousness of the Russian cause?
At no time have I suggested Russia is involved in a righteous cause. If you believe I have then you should either post where I said it or STFU, because that is a lie.

I find zero righteousness in what Putin is doing. But I also find that while it is okay to act as an intermediary if that opportunity presents, it is not our fight and under no circumstances should we make it be.

We had a president with poor judgment -- who YOU, by the way, supported. And he (and by extension, YOU) caused this war through his weak incompetence.

It is clear that Putin intends to take as much land as he can, it is not our job to prevent it when the victim in this case is as intransigent as the aggressor. Maybe they'll be able to win it; it seems unlikely.

I hate the war as much as the next guy but unless you feel you want to convince me that we have some interest in getting involved, then I don't see any point in going around about it.
