What a ridiculously sophomoric response. US senators and US state deparment heads were in Ukraine, but because no one has proven that US soldiers - how about CIA? - were there you say that "no US led coup."

Then you follow with "little green men?" Seriously?

Did aliens abduct the Ukrainian constitution.

The "little green men" were Ukrianian soldiers who swapped sides when the civil war started. That is according to the UN. Also according to the UN, there were no Russian soldiers sent to Ukraine to support the separatists. THOSE are the facts.

It IS undeniable that Russia is bombing civil infrastructure, albeit Russia's point is valid that the infrastructure is dual-use. Russia has taken 20+% of Ukraine. Crimes against humanity have been committed by both sides - that include Russia.

Most countries on earth want a lasting peace in Ukraine. That is what I want as well. Telling Russia to stop caring about a country on its most sensitive border is a non-starter for peace. Telling Russia to stop caring about Ukraine wanting nuclear weapons and to join an adversarial military is a non-starter for peace.

I'm in near total agreement with John Mearsheimer on Ukraine. He wants peace as well. I'm not at all lonely in my position.
