> Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why.. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> The solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is dead simple. It does not need China or other nations to get involved. That would only complicate matters. All it takes is for all NATO member nations to make an unambiguous commitment not to advance beyond a limit agreed to between them and Russia.

> Instead of working towards that, the US is worsening the crisis by supplying more arms to Ukraine, adding oil to fire, causing more deaths and destruction. As usual, it wants the world to believe that it is doing this for the sake of freedom and human rights.

> > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not.. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

The root cause of the problem is the US-led West, specifically its military arm NATO. Ukraine alone swearing not to join NATO will not solve the problem. It has to be all the member nations of NATO. All of them have to swear not to expand NATO beyond a limit agreed between them and Russia. QED.

> > >
> > > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change.. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia.. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.
> > >
> > > The solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is dead simple. It does not need China or other nations to get involved. That would only complicate matters. All it takes is for all NATO member nations to make an unambiguous commitment not to advance beyond a limit agreed to between them and Russia..

> > > Instead of working towards that, the US is worsening the crisis by supplying more arms to Ukraine, adding oil to fire, causing more deaths and destruction. As usual, it wants the world to believe that it is doing this for the sake of freedom and human rights.
> > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

All of them have to swear not to expand NATO beyond a limit agreed between them and Russia. QED.

> > > >
> > > > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.
> > > >
> > > > The solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is dead simple. It does not need China or other nations to get involved. That would only complicate matters. All it takes is for all NATO member nations to make an unambiguous commitment not to advance beyond a limit agreed to between them and Russia.
> > > >
> > > > Instead of working towards that, the US is worsening the crisis by supplying more arms to Ukraine, adding oil to fire, causing more deaths and destruction. As usual, it wants the world to believe that it is doing this for the sake of freedom and human rights.
> > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> > > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

All of them have to swear not to expand NATO beyond a limit agreed between them and Russia. QED.

> > > > > > >
> > > > > > > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit.. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> > > > > > > Instead of working towards that, the US is worsening the crisis by supplying more arms to Ukraine, adding oil to fire, causing more deaths and destruction. As usual, it wants the world to believe that it is doing this for the sake of freedom and human rights.
> > > > > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

All of them have to swear not to expand NATO beyond a limit agreed between them and Russia.. QED.

> > > > > > > > >
> > > > > > > > > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> > > > > > > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> > > > > > > > > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly.. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

> > > > > > > > > > > > Should China help to solve the problem? Can it? The root problem of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is for all to see. The US is the culprit. Here's why. Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

> > > > > > > > > > > Will the conflict in Ukraine lead to World War 3? Definitely not. It can only happen if the US dares to fight with Russia directly. But it dares not. Why? In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia..

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Russia under Putin is not as submissive as other nations to the World Order and Universal Values which the US-led West pushes and peddles around the world. For this, Russia under Putin becomes a target for regime change. Ukraine becomes the proxy in the fight between the US-led West and Russia. Using its military arm NATO, the US-led West threaten Russia’s security by creeping towards the border of Russia.

In the past, Americans have been fighting wars away from their own homeland, in WW1, WW2 and subsequent wars in Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East. Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US.. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Unlike those enemies of the past, Russia makes a big difference. It has the military might to bring the war over to the US mainland; and its going to be NUCLEAR! Russia can nuke the US. Its recent use of hypersonic missiles in Ukraine is a stark warning to the Americans. The regime in Ukraine should get this clear: the Americans will not risk their own home ground being nuked for the sake of defending Ukraine.

Don't think the US is solely responsible.
As is, it is fair to call the US a co-belligerent. Without doubt, the US is exploiting and worsening the
situation, it nevertheless does not create the situation. The root cause of the conflict is post colonial
or imperial stress disorder, or PCSD.
The conflict between India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, Iraq and Kuwait, Pakistan and
Afghanistan, China and India, and many other between African nations are all manifestations
of PCSD. In all cases, the peoples simply don't agree with borders demarcated by previous colonial
master/imperialist. And they fought for their REAL or ACCEPTABLE borders.
