I'm sorry to say, but this is misguided. Have you been to Russia? Ukraine? I have been many times and I have relatives in Kiev. The issue was Zelenksy's lies at the election when he promised peace in Donbas. Now, of course , there are NO ELECTIONS, and it is an autocracy. I can tell you - clearly - there is very little difference between Russians and Ukrainians, and this war is a tragedy. Russia felt threatened and wanted the USA many times - no NATO expansion on our borders.
The poor Ukrainian people pay the price, as did Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Cuba and all the rest. The one thing different is American troops are kept safely at home while others fight their dirty wars.
