    …escalating the proxy war against Russia…

    So, comrade, how much of Ukraine should surrender for about 6 years of “peace” with Russia?

      The portions of Ukraine that Western Ukraine was shelling before the invasion.

      The lines have hardly moved in a year, despite thousands more dead and millions more displaced. Every bomb we send is a bad day for someone, statistically mostly civilians. To send more bombs is to sacrifice more people, for the same geopolitical outcome.

      I for one wouldn’t have used unrest as a chance to do a coup. But if I did, I wouldn’t have planned who to install in what positions over an unsecure line.

      And so, Ukraine would have stayed a democracy that is more economically aligned with Russia, and Russia wouldn’t have invaded.

      I for one, wouldn’t have spent 40 years trying to overthrow a proletarian democracy, eventually succeeding in sponsoring a coup.

      So Ukraine and Russia wouldn’t be right wing nationalist nations and would instead be part of a progressive federation.
