If he signs the mineral deal, we have financial interests in Ukraine. That includes securities of its own, and Putin is on the side of ending the war. (Supposedly right, I am not naive I understand the dude has lied before. This isn't an overall "Good" situation either way right.) But none the less, Russia is not going to start shit with a country that has United States Interests. However. Zelenskyy does not want peace. Here is the problem. And is he wrong? I mean ... yes... and no. I would be pissed myself to have my country invaded. I wouldn't want peace myself, but for the sake of stopping the killing, the spending, the time, the world wide conflict, all of it, you need peace.

Russia, IS at the end of the day, in itself, currently, not a threat to Amercia. If we continue to partake in this proxy war, we are risking the potential for a lot of bad shit to happen, for everybody involved and then some. We do not need a World War, THE WORLD does not need a world war, and anybody that doesn't see that if we continue to fight in this proxy war, that threat is very much real, has to be insane. 

It's a shitty situation, and it's a damn shame that humanity has evolved to this very moment the way it has. There are no good outcomes. No justifying what has happened. Just less shitty outcomes. I feel like the least shitty option is to stop the future death of potentially hundreds of thousands of people, or more. 

I want Ukraine to survive as much as the next guy. But I do not want to back Putin into a corner when peace is on the table... Zelenskyy just needs to want peace, and the US needs to have interests in Ukraine.
