I totally agree Putin has to take the responsibility for this action, which is very stupid. In legal terms, definitely Russia bear the responsibility of starting the war. I think this is what the west is best at, always right on legality. Ukraine is at loss, Russia will be weaker, it is a good strategy for the US, Europe will spend more money (but they are rich). The developing world is going to suffer with the food price and energy prices. Developing world is going to bear the cost of the war and sanctions. From US the point of view, not deescalation is the best option. You know what US could give? Just tell Ukraine that NATO is not the best option for it, could be behind doors, I am sure US does this all the time. Unfortunately Ukraine was not discouraged, rather encouraged to pursue a dead end.
