While this is true Europe, NATO and the Bitem Admin forced this upon Russia by canceling a peace initiative and threatening to make Ukraine a NATO member. NATO has made it clear that Russia must be defeated and have no access to Ukraine at all❗
Sounds reasonable, right❓ Except it completely ignores a few hundred years of history. Russia has built and maintained ports in the Crimea, Yalta and eastern Ukraine since the years of the Czars. Crimea offers the only warm water ports that Russia has to access the world's oceans - it is essential for their status as a global nuclear sea power.
When NATO {Europe} notified The Bear that they would have to give up Crimea they well knew that there could only be two alternatives to solution: either Russia accepts utter defeat OR war . . . with a likely outcome that China would side with Russia and the conflict would have to be carried out with nuclear weapons.
We hear how Russia has aggressively attacked Ukraine and needlessly slaughtered women and children; we never hear why all of this started. Peace is quite possible even now - one party that is going to have to give up something important is NATO {Europe} and the Bitem Administration.
After two World Wars with American 💰💰💰 and our precious treasure of a stalwart fighting youth resource is enough for us to sacrifice for Europe's millennia need for war and blood shed. Our brave youth stormed the beaches of Normandy in 1944 and the casualties were as much as 60%. A few years ago we discovered signs posted on the historic battlefield grave yards at Normandy saying, "America, take your garbage home!"
I say enough❗ Let Europe fight its own blood bath wars💥 - they have been doing it for thousands of years.
