... the underlying statement Travis is making here is that the US is directly causing this war by interfering in the area. If we back off, as Russia has stated, then Russia will back off too.

Isn't it too late for that right now, though? As of right now, if Russia stops fighting, there will be no fighting; if Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine, as we know it.

“Isn’t it too late for that right now, though?”

Nope. All it takes is for the US to back off, let Ukraine back off, and Russia backs off.

It is never too late to sue/negotiate for peace.
