One country can end the war today. It's that easy to know who's fault all of this is.

Nah, I've succeeded in what I set out to do.

Pretty sure we both know why there is a war in UA and who is responsible.

Putin could pull back from Ukraine right now and stop killing Ukrainians, right?

Couldn't he fight the west somewhere else instead of killing his neighbors?

Ukraine didn't invade Russia, it was the other way around.

You said it was a proxy war. So it is Putin vs. the west. But I am still not clear on how it's ok to shoot your neighbors to hurt people on the other side of the planet.

But why invade towards Kyiv if this is the case? You've got a lot of words and links, but I'm not sure why Putin thinks attacking Ukraine is hurting the west. It seems like it's just hurting Ukrainians.

I will still never understand Putin turning on nearby brothers as a way to hurt the west. He throws his own into the same meat grinder. Why? It's not even a thing that registers on the average American's radar, but Russia is now on a war footing to fight old allies? It makes no sense.

I wish Russia wouldn't using Ukraine as a proxy for the US. So much suffering and death amongst brethren,.for what?

what are "narrow groups"?

I am not here arguing for or against sanctions. I am saying that there is a specific historical incident which is the current justification for the status quo.

You haven't heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis?

FWIW headlines like this are targeted at people who don't believe in climate change but do worry about the economy. In other words: exactly the people who need to see more and think more about this topic.

You are clearly already informed. No need to disparage this kind of communication - every argument we can make helps.
