I have no problem with the anti-war message here ... though, as pointed out by previous posters, the name and credentials of the writer should have been included.
When, however, all the opprobrium is heaped on one perpetrator of war ... and not a mention is made of the other perpetrator involved, the message is nothing more than simplistic propaganda, rather than any serious attempt to promote world peace. The US is every bit as much at fault here as Russia, if not more so. The US over many years has deliberately threatened and provoked Russia, until it has finally and unsurprisingly responded by taking military action. And now the US is needlessly and dangerously prolonging the conflict by arming Ukraine to the hilt and ordering it to abstain from any peace talks with Russia. In its almost 250 year history, there have only been 16 years in which the US has not been at war somewhere in the world. The US is the driver of war in this world, not Russia. Any message of peace needs to be directed towards Biden ... and not just Putin. Posted by Bronwyn, Friday, 30 September 2022 12:18:10 AM

Hey Alan B.
"I must have missed something. As far as I know, Biden has not invaded another sovereign nation for the purpose of expanding the US's territory. Putin has and Biden only acts to date is to call it out and send financial, military and logistic support. As has most of the western world." That's because you're blind / naive to ways in which the US conducts its operations. - By and large the US conducts its operations through NGO's and it's embassies and gets opposition groups to do it's dirty work. Overthrowing other peoples countries without having to commit troops to the fight, but instead using others to stir up civil unrest. That's why it loves democracy and civil society groups, they are tools of war - levers with which they can use to control entire nations.

I wonder if Russia will gain 100,000 sq klms of Ukrainian territory tomorrow.
Foxy, you only watch or read news that re-inforces your existing anti-Russia bias. Russian's already know they are not just fighting Ukrainians, but Ukrainians as proxys by and for NATO and the entire collective west, who have openly shown their disdain for Russian people. They are hardly going to move across and align themselves with the very people who want to destroy them. Maybe you'll convince a few people here and there and some easily impressionable university students but that's about it. All this, because Russian speaking people who've lived in the same place for hundreds of years choose to align themselves with Russia instead of Ukrainian NAZI's who want them dead. - You've all gone mad, because that's how stupid this whole thing is Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 30 September 2022 12:49:57 AM

Peace Lover
Russians already have a song to sing. I figure since you trade in 'stirring up trouble' I think it's only fair to do the same back. Play it loud. http://youtu.be/AOAtz8xWM0w Posted by Armchair Critic, Friday, 30 September 2022 12:54:48 AM

You people (author included) really need to take the blinkers off.
Armchair critic, People, saturation- indoctrinated into their adult years & with nothing resembling culture to fall back on aren't even aware of their blinkers let alone will ever get the idea of trying to take them off ! Posted by Indyvidual, Friday, 30 September 2022 8:45:34 AM

Foxy, you're right about Putin's security. Even so, he needs armed guards etc. And more than one may have loved ones murdered or disappeared by this dehumanized monster. He has to travel, and planes can be brought down with a missile.
The Russians were even more repressed under the Czars yet found the will to rise up against a cruel dictator and murder the family.
Even a worm will turn. And Putin's enemies increase by the day. If the world labels Russia as a terrorist state? The sanctions will send Russia back to the 18th century. And double and triple his domestic enemies.
And he is not a well man and he must be under a huge stress load? And that much stress can kill! As can tradition Russian fat loaded diets.
He has friends here, but they can do little than hurl abuse. And try to convince other to join a revolution to overthrow the elected government. For all the changes they get from their nutjob activities, they'd get more by pissing into the wind!
