Ukrainians voted for Zelensky to make peace. Instead Zelensky allowed his military to continuously step-up shelling in Donbas against Russia until Putin hardly had any choice to be react. When he reacted he sent in 200K Russian Troops almost in a dare against an 800K man Ukrainian military with American weapons - not to do damage, but to stop the fighting - kind of in dare for Ukraine to react. Ukraine was under orders from the US and NATO and their local Ukrainian Nationalists to not stop the fighting but to step it up - and this war was the result. That is the best narrative I could put together from listening to both sides. This has always been a war of American expansion - for minerals and to keep Russia out of the EU economy. Why be surprised - this is what great powers do they compete and try to grab land and resources for themselves and expand their system - which not-to-great powers do as well.

@amarillo650 read other reply just because something may or may not be.a Russian talking point does not automatically make it true or false Our American talking point about how weak Russia is and at the same time saying they are going to take over Europe makes no sense- but folks like you buy it just because American media broadcasts it. Try to be objective and engage critical thinking

3:20 - The Europeans have given $135 billion in aid to Ukraine, while the US has given $110 billion. That is something that is not reported on ... EVER that I have seen or heard in the media. Trump makes it out like the Europeans have done nothing.
