With Russia, as with any other country, our best option is to pursue peace through actual diplomacy and negotiation--which always requires compromise, and not endless war in any of its forms including sanctions, demonization, and declarations that we seek regime change. I am disgusted with the endless global war perpetrated by Washington DC on the rest of the world for full spectrum dominance. I would like to see a country that is strictly neutral on foreign wars, never meddles in the internal affairs of other countries, and instead focuses on the development of renewable energy for domestic and global use--the only hope for saving human civilization. Why can't we be more like China?
The Russian military operations in Ukraine were anything but unprovoked. The were the widely predicted result of decades of US meddling in Ukraine, including funding coups in 2004 and 2014, funding extremist terrorist militias, and becoming the arms merchant and puppet master of the Ukrainian government. Victoria Nuland confirmed we had spent $5 Billion up to 2014, and of course many billions more since then, on these efforts.
These ultimately created, and must have been designed to create, a terrible situation to which Russian leadership would have to respond militarily (after facing nothing but US stonewalling and/or broken promises in endless attempts at diplomacy over decades). 14,000 people had already been killed before February 2022 clashes between Ukrainian ethnic russian communities (only occasionally helped by Russia) and extremist terrorists financed by the USA. Russia's operations are justifiable by the exact same doctrines which President Clinton enunciated with regards to Yugoslavia, only Russia's claims are true and their security needs are historically proven.
Nothing that Russia has been asking for looks unreasonable to me. It is the US, echoed by its vassal state 2014 Ukraine which has been unreasonable. We should not try to be the overlord of Ukraine--it is a far away country we have little need for...except as a potential launching pad for threatening, controlling, and ultimately dismembering Russia, which was clearly the purpose of our meddling all along.
