While I think Cargo is fundamentally in error on some of his views about Ukraine and Russia and geopolitics, he has some reasoning to his positions and has some knowledge.
Your comments regarding this war are so beyond reality that they enter into "you're not even wrong" territory. (My apologies to the physicist I plagarized)
Sit this one out.
ask yourself how the war has been funded by Russia? Exactly why did Putin pick the period of time to attack? And ask yourself what is a major catalyst for Putin coming to the table now. ( if he indeed does make any sort of real effort to keep any promises).
There comes a point where deflecting from common sense no longer is a valid argument. You can quote all sorts of historic people, get into the weeds of past military and diplomatic policy making, but the act of Putin attacking when he did wasn’t because of some several decades old policies. He saw an opportunity at a specific point in time. Ask yourself why, and did he view the USA as week at that period of time?
