Ukraine

It seems to me that the sympathy towards the Ukrainians is waning. Aside from the terrible damages the war is causing both in human lives as well as material values the war appears to be very political. Actually, every war is political. But in this case one can not decide who is igniting the fire. England and the US are loud voices in their support for Ukraine. It is very easy for them. They are far away from this conflict, off the European continent. It is like a street fight and people from the third floor ara urging the parties to continue fighting.

An American media person said that if the US wants peace, why do they continue supplying the Ukrainians with weapons. I agree with her. I know that Russia is not the most US friendly country, but this fiasco will throw the relationship back to the darkest days of the Stalin era. Is that what they want? Zelensky is not concerned about creating a huge international tragedy, like a world war. He is so stuck on power that he wants to drag every country in without considering the consequences. He is asking for NATO membership, no-fly zone, more weapons and foreign troops. None of these will appease Russia. It will just extend the bad situation. 

Russia is a big country which should not be ignored. Biden's childish acts about sanctions will not have its expected results. Putin does not take Biden seriously. I don't even think he would take his calls. This man has absolutely no respect as a world leader.

I spoke to a lot of people recently and their opinion is that the devastation shown on tv are manufactured or created by the Ukrainians themselves to gather world sympathy. As the saying goes "a picture is worth a thousand words". I know what the Russians are capable of doing but...

I earlier expressed my feelings and opinion about Ukraine and the Ukrainians. No matter how hard I try I can not feel much sympathy towards them. This is a perfect example of "what goes around, comes around".
