Throwing gasoline at a fire is not going to put it out.
The US and NATO recently authorized Ukraine to use Nato controlled weapons offensively. That is a global escalation that involves Nato member states for coordination. If you don't think the escalation is growing then you aren't actually paying attention.
There has been peace talks but there has been western pressure to decline the deals. The US doesn't give a shit about what happens to Ukraine. Come on, they don't even care about us (americans), their own citizens. Ukraine has been proxy to the US for a while and the US will use whatever proxy they have to do battle with Russia no matter the collateral damage.
There is a lot of propaganda on both sides of this conflict but everyone on lemmy and reddit gobble up the western propaganda without a doubt. Let's put away the military boners and try for some actual fucking diplomacy.
