That said, far too much of the present discourse leaves out that in many different situations, the US has added fuel to the fire in Ukraine, instead of taking opportunities to lessen the chance of violent conflict.
Russia invaded their neighbor. They want to dominate Ukraine. They’re killing civilians in the street, digging mass graves, raping babies, targeting hospitals.
Tell me what can the US do to lessen the chance of these violent occurrences?
Nothing could have been done to lessen the chance of of conflict except arming much more Ukraine to the point that it's not worth atracking it, I can't see anything else.
My conclusions may or may not end up being true, but hopefully we share the same premises of the conflict.
