See professor Jeffrey Sachs. The US did a color revolution in Ukraine and installed a puppet regime who integrated nazi battalions into the Ukrainian army and enacted official holidays to honor Nazism. The Ukrainian people elected Zelensky on a platform of peace, but Zelensky obeyed his US masters. Kiev genocided Russian-speaking people on its own territory and threatened to become part of NATO, which would mean NATO troops, military bases and nuclear weapons on a huge and strategic border with Russia. The US had promised Gorbachev that NATO would not move an inch eastward.
The US did worse for far less when the USSR put nuclear missiles in Cuba – which by the way was a reciprocal act for the US putting nuclear missiles in Turkey. In fact, the US recently threatened to invade Panama just because it had commercial relationships to China. Now it threatens the same for Cuba.
US and Europe framing Russia as a threat is an affront to human decency.
It is so irrational that Europe:
on one minute says Russia is weak, on the verge of collapse. Just one more month of weapons for Ukraine and Russia is done!
on the other minute says that Russia is a threat even to Central Europe. The mighty Russia juggernaut could march on Berlin!
Besides, Russia has an enormous territory with an extremely small demographic density, low fertility, and an ageing population. The war to annex the separatist republics in Eastern Ukraine has a huge cost, and is only (barely) justified for the reasons above. It is flat-Earthism to think that Russia would embark on an adventure to take over much of Europe. Such an adventure would be sure defeat, and even an (impossible) “victory” would mean gaining more territory, which Russia has in abundance, while losing the precious little young population it still has. That Europeans believe this lunacy is evidence of late-stage capitalism induced irrationality.
No, Russia cannot stop the war at any time.
