#1 An absolute tragic waste of humanity.

#2 8 Ukrainians to one Russian has been the results so far. "Likely lost". No front line experience. Sitting at their desk working their computers. 100,000, no make that 200,000 and pass it on to the various slavish medias. "An absolute tragic waste of humanity" but Ukrainians don't count. No diplomatic solutions just press on Ukrainians. Eight year effort must provide the West with some result they will accept.

#4 I no longer place much credence in the US intel community but the war has undoubtedly taken a tragic toll on both sides. Responsible world leaders would be seeking a diplomatic solution before this war escalates into a full blown World War III with tragic consequences for the entire planet. Unfortunately, all of our current world leaders are totally irresponsible, evil bastards who suffer from the delusion that they can win and that, when it's finally all over, the victory will be worth it. Maybe someday they will win but no way in hell will it be worth it. I am ashamed to be a citizen of the United States of America because our war mongering President Biden sponsors this war with my tax dollars and almost single handedly keeps it going when he should be negotiating an end to it.

#5 Isn't it peculiar how all the anti-war screechers who were so active and vocal in the Boosh times are now silent.

Sheehan? Code Pink? Chomsky? Anyone?
