The blood clot is interesting. It is easy to impose a blood clot medically speaking.

"Both sides should be looking for a way out while that is still possible, but instead both sides just continue to escalate matters."

Fundamentally disagree with your here, Michael. Russia has repeatedly said that it is open to negotiations (although why it would want to do so with a West that essentially used the Minsk Agreements (International Law under UNSC Resolution) to arm Ukraine, I can't understand).

But go back to 2022: there were efforts at peace talks by both Ukraine and Russia; first in Minsk, then in Istanbul, and a draft memorandum was agreed and signed by both sides. Then BoJo from the UK flew to Kiev and told Zelenskiy to keep fighting.

Subsequently, Zelenskiy has changed the Ukrainian law to make it impossible to negotiate a peace with Russia. I guess Washington, London, and Brussels are happy, as are the nazis in Ukraine that would kill Zelenskiy if he tried (they have already threatened him with murder).

People in the west are so totally ignorant of the causes of this conflict. It's amazing. Sorry to say, but Americans in particular. There was a coup d'etat in 2014 totally sponsored by the west. It resulted in the Russian-speaking regions defying Kiev. This led to a mass burning of dissidents in Odessa, and the following 8-years' civil war in Ukraine between the government and the people of the Donbass in which 14,000 civilians were murdered. Those are war crimes we ignored as we supported the Kiev government. Concurrent with the Donbass conflict the people of Crimea organized a referendum on secession from Ukraine, which had a >95% majority. It was overseen by international observers, but in the west we still hear the lies of a 'Russian invasion'.

Russia did not want this conflict. Russia sees this as a family feud between relatives. That's why it takes great care to try and minimize civilian casualties, and why (as per Istanbul) it had no aspirations to control Ukrainian territory.

Maybe you need to get acquainted with the facts. The facts support Russia. The facts also support the thesis that NATO/US/EU have supported and continue to support a murderous neo-nazi regime in Kiev in an effort to destroy Russia. Epic failure on all counts, but the lunatics in charge have zero self-awareness, and seem to want to charge down the path to oblivion.

Well done, America!
