Thanks for writing this, RC. I do share your views, but I also can understand some of the people in Europe when they say the US could successfully negotiate a peaceful end to this war if that were the main focus. There's also the issue of US defense contractors profiting greatly from the war, and the incentive by powerful folks behind the scenes to keep the war going. Then you got some of these weapons that are supposed to go to the Ukranian military but instead end up in the black market. And then, there are people like the PM of Hungary saying that Ukraine has no chance of beating the Russians. It's hard to know what to believe. And I know it's more multilayered than that. Anyway, complicated topic.
