Well, there you go. The only other way that this war could have been prevented is if Putin had chosen, or was prevented by other Russians, to not to pursue it.
ukraine had tanks already. nothing more than resupply.
the whole “escalation” thing is nothing more than russian propaganda designed to stop western governments from giving ukraine anything and western politicians who repeat it as if it were true are just giving russia’s propaganda the perception of reality.
i didn’t assume or accuse you of anything. it was a question. same ■■■■■■■■ question you asked me.
and no, i’m not. your opinion that i am is wrong. you’re entitled to it, but it doesn’t make it less wrong. the mongering has already been done. it was done by vlad. maybe you think it would be best to just let russia take ukraine. if so, we’ll just disagree. you’re just as entitled to be wrong about that as you are the first.
that is the beginning of your wrong opinion, the basis of which will make it impossible for us to agree. i want the US to keep its commitment and provide Ukraine with the means to defend itself. i did not call for war, i did not want war. niether did ukraine. russia did. russia continues to. by your logic ukraine attempting to defend itself is war mongering, and thats just pathetically wrong. supporting a nation thats been invaded in defending itself is not war mongering, its the opposite of war mongering.
What the US is doing is virtue signaling on a global scale to cover for enriching the MIC and its bought pols and supporting EU/NATO expansion to impose a world order.
