I doubt there was one single war in human history - and there were untold thousands - when one side would be saying nice things about the other. The idea is always the same - make them look bad. Dehumanize them. Make your people despise them and hate their guts.

So, naturally, this war is no exception. The only difference is that 99% of the media is against Russia. Heck… I saw today that a hospital in Munich from now on will refuse to treat Russian or Belorussian patients. Anti-Russian virtue signaling is overwhelming. Just yesterday I posted about an international organization of cancer specialists that is cutting off all ties with their Russian colleagues, also cancer doctors. Maybe for the first time in history there is such an angry, uncompromising, global unity.

One must ask a simple question — what is it all about? As it turns out, the issue of NATO membership for Ukraine - along with some related thing - were all agreed upon about 7 years ago, in Minsk. I hear that Zelensky already agrees to forgo NATO and go back to the Minsk accords.

What is, exactly, the reason that we must risk a war of mutual annihilation against a nuclear superpower??

I wonder if there's anything else you might regret in hindsight? The worst thing we did in hindsight was push for Ukraine to give up their nucs.

Maybe in a few months, or maybe even hours, assuming you have not been fried alive so are able to feel regret.

Fortunately, I think there are enough level-headed people that the very obvious, very easy, and very sensible conclusions will be reached, albeit a year or ten later than they should have been. But better late, with thousands dead than no agreement with billions dead.

Unfortunately, there are so many in the USA making so much money, that they really really don't want agreement, so it would be surprising if USA allows Zelensky to stop the war. Swarms of dumb Americans believe their media, politicians, (the best that money can buy), and their own bullshit, so there's a good chance they'll waddle straight into Armageddon thinking they are invincible and born to rule.
