As I have posted on several occasions, I don't think the US (or NATO) should be involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. I do think that the Obama/Biden administrations had nefarious dealings in Ukraine and became involved to cover that up. President Trump inherited that situation and been seeking a peaceful settlement in order to save lives and establish normalized economic relations with Russia. Unfortunately, this has not been possible.
As a result, we have an increasingly polarized geopolitical situation wherein Western Europe is preparing for a potential war with Russia. For them, the key question is what is Russia's ultimate goal in this conflict. Just as Russia doesn't want the line of potential conflict moved eastward, the Europeans don't want that line moved westward.
The "denazification" of Ukraine seems to be a hollow excuse for continuing this conflict. If it is to protect its ethnic Russian population from persecution, that has largely been accomplished. Despite its alleged use of Nazi symbolism, Ukraine hardly poses a serious threat of invading Russia (other than retaliatory tactical strikes). Even the idiotic idea of a Ukraine joining NATO is no longer under serious consideration. Thus, even a slow occupation of the entire country by Russia seems unwarranted and unnecessary. If not for further territorial gain, what is the benefit to Russia?
P.S. I am very familiar with Daniel Davis and the other talking heads on YouTube. They have been predicting Ukraine's collapse for the past three years. At the rate things are going, it may take 30 years.
