[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 418864, member: 35"] Republicans and Democrats (including Bernie Sanders) are predictably melting down over Trump's attempt to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. It seems they would rather see this proxy war last indefinitely because anything less would be bad for the military industrial complex. Zelensky said he'd resign if Russia kept the peace, but the caveat is that Ukraine would get to join NATO. That's why it's a performative stunt, as he knows that's a non-starter. I do believe Putin is a war criminal and an oligarch like Sanders claimed, but retaliating by engaging in an endless war only leads to dead citizens and soldiers. It's the military contractors who benefit from these wars, and the bought politicians happily do their bidding. GOP Senator Roger Wicker said "Putin is a war criminal and should be in jail for the rest of his life, if not executed." Okay, but if that standard was applied consistently, every US President this century would be strung up. Sadly, war criminals usually don't face justice, and negotiating with nefarious leaders is often necessary to achieve peace. Unless, of course, the goal is a proxy war with the intent of "crushing Russia/Putin."
