    For the US war is a business. Perhaps there is nothing much to gain by supporting poor Ukraine. For Putin, the fear of potential attack by the EU/NATO forces is an illusion. No power on this earth has the courage to militarily antagonize Russia. The same thing will happen if China grabs Taiwan which is likely to happen sooner or later.

    There has been a reluctancy for Moscow and Washington to engage directly in air-to-air combat over the past 70 years. As an independent American who has never been a U.S. Government official in any capacity or had any vested interests related to the U.S. Military Industrial Complex, I would hope that a permanent ceasefire can be established so that UN peacekeeping forces from neutral nations like India may be deployed to replace the areas now controlled by Russian and Ukrainian troops so that concerns of Putin and Zelenskyy can be addressed in a peaceful manner without any further need to kill innocent civilians as well as soldiers from Russia and Ukraine, because anymore further bloodshed in this tragic situation will accomplish nothing except possibly cause all of us to become involved in a global thermal war rather than a regional conventional conflict. Please let me assure you that I am also being objective to realize there are many evil things in Ukraine that still exist, which cannot be ignored any longer and that have existed long before the Kremlin decided to enter recently into the main area of the Ukrainian nation that decided not to remain as a Nuclear Power with anymore Thermonuclear Weapons or as a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States or CIS. Neither a No-Fly Zone nor replacement combat aircraft from the West to compensate for Ukraine military aircraft that were recently destroyed by the Russian Aerospace Forces would solve any of the real problems related to this regional war except causing it to escalate into a global war that is beyond any logic for the survival of the planet we share. In conclusion, it should be the wish of all of us for the military activity in Ukraine to end by rapidly bringing in UN armed forces from neutral nations and provide investigative teams to uncover any criminal activity that President Vladimir V. Putin has alleged, but even concerns that you and I may have independently become aware of as well. Thank you.

    I support no wars. Many Russians have likened this conflict to the Cuban crisis of 1962. They (the Russians) explain that USA did not want any enemy missiles based in Cuba, pointing to USA. So USA did not hesitate to threaten Cuba to erase it off the world's map. The message from Russia, over the last ten years, is that American missiles must bot be based next to the Russian borders, pointing at the Russian cities. Ukraine, in its foolish dream of becoming a developed country within a decade, has unwittingly become a pawn.

    Zelensky is reportedly in Poland, where he is making videos urging Ukrainians to die for Ukraine. Zelensky has a 35 million dollar house in Miami. Whatever happens in Ukraine, Zelensky is set for life.

    Its better for Ukraine to surrender and join Putin. Siding with NATO and US will only rear end Zelnski. Both US and NATO lionised Zelenski and provoked him to fight the Russians, Besides fatwas US have not done jack. The question now arises ''is US really a super power?'.
