@denisbaro3836 Zelensky could stop this war any time he wants; so could President Biden.

@denisbaro3836 Why do you worship the neocons in Washington DC...? The neocons want as many Ukrainians to die as possible.... as long as some Russian soldiers are ALSO killed. As many have said, US politicians want to "fight the Russians down to the last Ukrainian".

@denisbaro3836 False.

Manu Singh Yes... OF COURSE Putin could end the war; but so could Biden, and so could Zelensky.

@denisbaro3836 I don't know which sentence you're referring to.

@denisbaro3836 You say that only Russia is responsible; and that the US government is just an innocent bystander who never got involved in Ukrainian politics. First, the US govt was behind the coup in 2014. That then set up the initial conflict in the Donbas. Then add in Zelensky's refusal to even TRY to implement the Minsk agreements. Add in the fact that the US has .... for eight years.... been training Ukrainian military and paramilitary forces in tactics to kill Russians. And add in the fact that NATO has been relentlessly expanding eastward. It's obvious to me that US neocons WANTED this war with Russia, and they hope it continues, even if 500 Ukrainians have to die for every Russian soldier killed. And as for YOU, I assume you'd rather see one million Ukrainians killed, and all the infrastructure destroyed.... and to see high commodity prices all over the world; maybe even a global recession.... all of that, rather than to see the US government give Putin one inch. And that's perfectly fine if that's your view; but if that's your view, you shouldn't complain about all of the death and destruction that's occurring.

@denisbaro3836 No... you've got it wrong. As I wrote in my comment, if you want widespread death and destruction in Ukraine, that's fine with me; my point is ... if that's what you want, then don't complain about death and destruction in Ukraine.

@denisbaro3836 Putin isn't asking for all of Ukraine; he initially (back in February) asked for part of eastern Ukraine to be "independent". I know that that would make Zelensky very unhappy; and it would make US politicians very unhappy. But I'm not sure that the people in that region would really prefer endless war to being "independent".... or even being under Russian rule (with the option to move to another part of Ukraine). And again, if you want to advocate for "fighting the Russians", that's fine; but you've got to expect a tremendous amount of death and destruction.

@denisbaro3836 If Pakistan wants to go to war with India, that's quite alright with me... as long as the US stays out of it. If half the population of Pakistan gets wiped out.... and an equal number of people in India also get wiped out, I think that's fine, as long as the governments of both countries are prepared to accept that outcome (and as long as the US stays out of it). What we have now... in Ukraine... is that the war would never have happened if the US hadn't gotten involved; and even if the war had started (without US involvement), the war would have been over in about 2 weeks, in the absence of weapons being sent to Ukraine. So the key issue is this: INVOLVEMENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
