> Do you believe that the Russians are bloodthirsty and looking for war no matter what? The Russian people? No. The Russian leadership? Utter disregard for human life on either side to achieve their shifting goals. > Maybe it's not everyone else who is wrong? Or maybe these countries are trying to challenge and weaken a global system supported by US influence. I'm not American, I didn't support Americas wars in the middle east, I recognise it is not often a power for good. But if I reject that invasion then I reject this invasion by Russia. > I don't like that either, but we have to deal with the world we're living in You've accused me of having a childish outlook but your view seems childish to me. What would a negotiated settlement look like that's acceptable to Russia do you think? It certainly wouldn't be one that is acceptable to Ukraine, and unlikely to Poland et al, and so if the US signed off and withdrew support the fighting would continue. At some point the war will end in a settlement of some kind. At the moment the position of everyone involved is too wide for that to happen and the US is not the only party.
