The protesters, who were with anti-war group Code Pink, were advocating for Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. leadership to negotiate an end to the war.

    I can respect the desire for a policy of complete non-intervention.

      I have never thought of the usa helping ukraine because they are interested in ukranian peoples lives. I see them fighting because gaining an ally with great resources and an excellent geographic position is important to maintain power.

      They are also testing the new way of running a war between first world armies.

      Perhaps I’m wrong but this war benefits american interests beyond being world police.

        Or, and stay with me here, we have a blueprint from about a hundred years ago of what happens when you just let a powerful county annex surrounding countries. Spoiler Alert, they don’t just stop at 1.

      cringe. It’s actually good to take action to reduce harm.

        Is it actually reducing harm to fight to the last Ukrainian though? There were multiple attempts at peace that were sabotaged by either nazi paramilitaries or nato-member politicians. Remember when Zelensky traveled to the front to tell them to respect the ceasefire during Minsk 2 and they didn’t? Maybe the people sabotaging peace would be less bold knowing the US isn’t going to keep supplying arms.

          When Russia is trying to commit genocide against Ukraine? Yes.

            Do you have a source for Russia doing genocide or are you just referring to the war?

              It’s been widely reported by numerous nations and organizations. Search for “Russian genocide Ukraine” and you’ll see plenty of credible sources

                So no then? Did you learn to critically read the news in school?

                  I’m wondering if you just posted the link without reading any results and are just doubling down to sound correct.

                  One of the first articles is AP news reporting UN backed human rights groups calling it genocide

                  https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-human-rights-663b3a4ba24499d93f3f889e98f8b652

                  And an article by Time reporting the kidnapping of children being investigated as genocide, and that there is already enough evidence for the allegations

                    Did you misread the AP link? The un group provides reports of war crimes, not genocide.

          multiple attempts at peace

          What were the terms of this peace? Do you have sources to back up your claims?

            Are you not aware of Minsk 1 or Minsk 2? There are more but those are the big ones

              No I am not. Would you kindly explain and provide sources for this and all your other claims?

                No, I think it is reasonable for you to go out and research two well known and easily researchable treaties. I am not your secretary.

                  I think it is reasonable for me to expect the burden of proof to be on the person making the claims.
