Seriously. The frenzy whipped up around the world over this is Not something good. People all around are foaming at the mouth over things and it’s like all rational thought and common ground has gone out the door. Truly frightening. This escalation of tension and getting backed into corners - fear - fiasco is how really horrible world shaking poor choices play out. I know there’s a middle ground through all the propaganda and extremes and both sides / all sides can be heard and spoken of with honesty in some form so that no one accidentally/intentionally does something even more catastrophic. / nukes, chem weapons, etc.
It’s truly astounding. The talking heads on all “major” sides are banging the war drums with maximum ferocity. Ultimatums and shit. Totally clueless and removed from the reality of what is being brought to life by it in time just down the road.

Yes, that’s generally what happens when one military from one country goes into another country. Ukraine is ruined. The US aren’t going to actually do anything more than play TV hero and Angel sponsor - they can’t - they can’t risk an actual war with another country that has nuclear weapons - not a straight up war.
It was over before it started. Sanctions will not stop it - Russia & Ukraine’s populations will both suffer catastrophically - and that suffering will only lead to more suffering all around the globe in the long run in ways we can’t even predict right now.
When is a country with an incredible nuclear Arsenal actually deposed to lash out and use their nuclear weapons? How about when the leader(s) of said country get backed into a corner and are desperate and crazed with fear & paranoia.
If the kremlin find themselves in the right circumstances don’t think that they will not. I can’t believe no one sees how delicate this situation really is. It must remain balanced. But hey - keep pointing fingers at one another and throwing fuel on the fire like good little patriots. See what that gets you.
Someone needs to throw some ice on the fire before we all get burned. It’s out of control - and the media in the west and the east need to either help quell the craze or else.
The truth is we all need eachother. The US needs Russia - Russia needs the US, etc etc. everyone needs to come off their egos and start seeing that the narratives have spun out of control and by going along with it are inching the world closer and closer towards an even greater disaster of unprecedented proportions.
The US wouldn’t tolerate Russia or China building and arming in the West - in fair play that means a balanced move dictates that Ukraine must remain neutral. Only after it has resided as a buffer between Russia and the Eu for long enough for Russia and the US to have good relations on all fronts can it finally transcend being the monkey in the middle.
I wouldn’t be surprised that if behind closed doors everyone is talking towards a peace of sorts. There’s no way anyone can like the shadow of death looming large like it is with the way things are being presented in the public’s imaginations.

It’s a terrible situation. If Ukraine can’t become and remain neutral I don’t see how things can go well. Zel and Ukraine are getting their hopes up if they believe for a second that a no fly zone is going to fly - or that they actually are going to end up in NATO or have NATOs true backing power of their military. If they became part of NATO right now that would mean NATO must defend them with all its might. Never going to happen. Thus, an intermediate and peaceful neutral solution must be fought for if peace is to be in any form whatsoever. For now Zel is just dragging his feet. It’s not like this conflict started a few months ago. It’s been unearthing for atleast 20 years in its current iteration.
Awful I know - but it’s the world stage and he’s playing with fire. The Kremlin no doubt calculated several moves ahead very well. Ukraine just isn’t crucial enough to warrant the US being dragged into a full out war with the East. So for now Zel and Ukraine are like a drowning man and the US and it’s allies can only offer them more water. This is like the biggest tower of babble - miscommunication and misperception (and then some) event of my time. That’s sad.

I don’t know what’s going on there but I believe there may be more to it than initially meets the eye. Writing speeches before major events as if they’ve gone according to plan (and also another for when things don’t) is a common political practice. I can think of many scenarios in which such a piece gets stumbled upon by the so called “other side” and from there - gets twisted and spun to fit a wonky maligned narrative not concerned with honesty - but rather an agenda - fueled by emotional momentum and taking advantage of that fact. Or it could be as the article says. Who knows…And as to claiming to know what the exact nature of what it really about - it is speculation. Mainstream media isn’t exactly trustworthy when they are as much an appendage of the State as they are for the agendas of those that would profit off of the general public’s ignorance concerning the actual state of affairs.
Quality, honest communication is desperately needed. Censorship & propaganda is lame.

Because our (U.S.) elected official do not have the balls (or soul) to repeatedly/ ad nauseum attempt in person - diplomacy/ real communication with those in the Kremlin & UA gov , it leads one to wonder if they aren’t merely profiting off all the death & calamity going on over there right now, or at the least, using the conflict for nefarious purposes.
Bunch of lazy cowards if you ask me. I mean maybe I’m wrong and our officials are blowing up Putin’s cell phone like a clingy ex that just got dumped and ghosted - that’s my wish. Phone the fucks till a convo begins and get everyone in a safe neutral space and don’t let anyone leave until shits been talked out. Naive I know. But it goes to show that since that isn’t happening - any proclaimed “efforts” at harm reduction from the side of the US is a bunch of hot air and virtue signaling. Correct me if I’m wrong, please, bc I hope I am.

By default they profit from any war. What I mean is if there are any officials left that would actually do their duty - or god forbid - do a touch more than the minimum requirements - and begin and maintain an open and honest dialogue with the Russian & Ukrainian govs without any hint of bullshit theatrics until a resolution is decisively met so that the slaughter of human beings on all sides can stop. It’s not like no one has the power to stop what’s happening. What a shit show. How can ordinary citizens portray this wish to their “civil servants” in an impactful way that doesn’t just receive empty words and promises, all to get swept under the rug and forgotten…?
Anyways, so we know it’s all a load of bullshit theatrics. Putin, Biden, Macron, Johnson, Lukashenko, etc etc - they and their associates just profit from this shit no matter which way the tide swings… Meanwhile they continue to encourage and supply lethal weapons & human lives that are foolish enough to take orders from them aka the bait
