The continuing funding of Ukraine's military and government by America is prolonging this war and causing millions to suffer. If America stops funding Ukraine and promotes a negotiation process, everyone will benefit and the innocent civilians will live for another day. America is causing this war to escalate unnecessarily. We need a change in thinking! Will this happen after November 8?
With a win in the House election this coming Tuesday, I hope that the winners will think more seriously about this war in Ukraine. Funding this war with American dollars is not going to bring us peace. Russia is much to strong to defeat and the best option now is to start a negotiation process with Russia.
The mindset of Zelenskyy and Putin (as of today) promotes war and destruction as neither wants to lose this war. But the bigger issue is the innocent civilians which must suffer because of this continuing war. Both Ukraine and Russia will fight to the end if America wants this to happen. Russia can not be defeated and adding fuel to the fire by adding more funds for Ukraine's fighting is not promoting peace.
So why not stop the funding Ukraine and focus on bringing this war to a close. Negotiation is what needs to happen. Russia is open to negotiation. Ukraine needs to think about their future. To prolong this war will bring more destruction and no win for the people or Ukraine and Russia. I watch the events daily and I suffer at the mindset of America who could act to bring this war to a close (if they desired this outcome).
This coming Tuesday a new group of leaders will be elected to our Congress. Now is the time for the media to promote a mindset of negotiation. Continuing to fund Ukraine with American dollars does not bring this war to a close. It escalates the war and the killing. When will our leaders develop some wisdom? Ending a war requires negotiation...not fighting!
Wisdom says that this war needs to end. The border issues can be settled via negotiation. Russia desires a security border (a buffer territory) and this can be provided via a negotiation process. Compromise may be necessary but this is better than the continuing killing. Nothing is achieved when both sides refuse negotiation. Let's bring this war to a close now.
America can initiate a process of negotiation if they quit funding Ukraine's military and Zelenskyy's government. It's time for wisdom and negotiation is the idea that can work. Get this message to our Congress after this coming election situation. My sense is that the Biden policy (as practiced) will fail. We need new leaders with a mindset that promotes negotiation. This could happen on November 8. My hope is that a new mindset will emerge after this election!
