I agree that nobody wants a nuclear war. Indiscriminate killing of everything. Our differences lie in that Russia is the aggressor here and they can stop this aggression in a second. Ukraine are defending their homeland, you can't deny that.
Saying that Russia will win doesn't make it right. Nobody should give in to bullies which is essentially what PooTin is doing.... bullying a neighbour to get his way. I'm surprised you support that kind of behaviour. You believe that peace negotiations were "sabotaged"? C'mon. You're not another one of those people who believes that it's all Americas fault and the CIA are involved or some other garbage. Blackrock etc.
What Russia is doing sends a dangerous message to other terrorist countries like Iran, or China (not that I think they are a terrorist country but they want to use the same methods against Taiwan) which is you can just take what you want with force.
I openly support Ukraine as this is my heritage and I still have family there. Friends fighting on the frontlines for the freedom of their country and the lives of their loved ones. I don't sit on the fence.
In the short/medium term, I do think Ukraine will lose it's territory to Russia. I just can't see PooTin giving it up. I once thought that Ukraine might end up like Germany, split down the middle East/West but I don't believe that any longer. Russia claims the Donbass? Maybe. All the other oblasts which they claim as their territory? No, I don't think they will achieve that goal. Ukraine giving up territory is like Australia giving away the top end to say China. Why would or should we!
PooTin has brainwashed his people to believe that the west is evil and they want to destroy Russia (even though they live with western technology every day) I don't believe that, do you? Do you think the US or Europe was or is a threat to Russia?
This war is sucking up a lot of resources which I think are better kept for future battles with countries like Iran & possibly China. I think Iran with it's radical zealots should just be wiped from the Earth personally. They are dangerous people with their backwards, Neanderthal way of life through their religion.... but that's a different story.
I'm not for war but I am against an invasion of Ukraine by an aggressive Russia.
