Determination on one side of the conflict demands equal determination on the other side. When I was in high school, a friend of mine's dad worked for a car company as an executive. When my friend turned 16 he decided to ask his dad for a Mustang. "Dad," he said, "I want a Mustang". His dad kept a straight face and looked back at his son and said "It's nice to want things". Here we have Russia throwing all its might and missiles and howitzer shells and just about everything else it can muster at a sovereign nation. In effect, they're saying to Ukraine. "We want your country". I think the only response that the Ukraine and the western countries and NATO can give President Putin and Russia is "It's nice to want things".

@VladislavDoroshuk GGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. We need to hear from all sides of an argument to make sense of the situtation at hand. We must remember that under international law that was signed by Moscow, all the treaties say that sovereign countries get to choose what alliances sovereign countries belong to. Treaties like the UN Charter was signed by Russia. The 1975 Helsinki agreement was signed by the Soviet Union. The 1990 Charter of Paris for a new Europe was also signed by the Soviet Union. The 1997 NATO Russia Founding Act was equally signed by the Russian Government. All those documents were signed by either the Soviet Regime or the Russian regime, which is the legally recognized international inheritor i.e., successor of the Soviet State. The fact is those agreements are still in place and they clearly state that sovereign countries can freely choose their foreign policy and what alliances they want to join.

@valp1621 GGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. Are you writing to the right person? I am an artist living 2,000 kilometers from Kiev! I have no military experience so I am happy to hear from both sides of the conflict. I have never been in a warzone, but it looks bad no matter which side you are on. People are dying and the war is expanding; Russia today says it will expand the war. Many people believe the Russians will use battleground nuclear-tipped missiles. Chancellor Sholz said it right when he said this is Putin's war. No one has ever predicted the outcome of a war, but I think it is safe to call it the beginning of WW III.

@valp1621 GGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. The whole thing to me is that this is all about who is going to run the world. I mean, think of it. Russia is a country 9,000 kilometers long and it has 11 time zones under one man's control! Putin now wants even more territory and this time the world is saying stop. Putin knows that if he doesn't win in the Ukraine, he will need to show he is in control and he may well risk starting WW III with a nuke if it keeps him in power.

@valp1621 GGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. There can only be one winner in the Ukraine/Russian war. You can see on Putin's face that he sees the writing on the war. This war is high-tech. They can photograph a postage stamp from space. You can't hide arms depots anymore, the Russians can have every weapon in the world, but you need ammunition and they can't hide ammunition dumps from spy satellites. This is the Russian's Achille's Heel. They need tons of ammo---they fire 90,000 shells and mortars and bullets every day. You have to put ammo in a separate place and that's easy to see from space. It's over for the Russians and Lavrov knows it. Everybody is going to play the game until Putin throws in the towel. Crimea and the land strip and the Dombas will not leave Ukraine's territory. But they'll fight and fight and fight to save face, and it may well spread to engulf Europe.
