I wonder how Zionist Biden would feel -if it all- once Russia annexes parts of Ukraine. Probably how he felt about Israel annexing Palestinian and Syrian lands. His underling Blinken even defended Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights.
The best reason to end any war is to ask how everyone can just stop killing one another.
This is modern day civilization, not the barbarian hordes of Europe 1500 years ago.
We have a choice to act civilized or like our ignorant ancestors from thousands of years ago.
My buddy says he's going to stop drinking next year. 🤠
None of my web browsers knows what to do with https://prod.vodvideo.cbsnews.com/cbsnews/vr/hls/3330898_hls/master.m3u8 nor does VLC.
yt-dlp converts it to a mp4 successfully for me.

Unbelievably common YT-DLP W. YT-DWP if you will.
Huh, thanks! Based on its name I assumed it was exclusively for YouTube.

Very hopeful,
"We have to understand what the Russians want," Zelenskyy said.
That would mean peace instead of Ukraine becoming a new South Korea. Ukraine led peace negotiations can bring China in to outbid blackrock for the ruins in the country, and perhaps Chinese peacekeepers instead of nazi EU supporters. The Musk plan that was floated is a non-starter with Russia. EU trade deal finally happening is something Zelensky can try for, but Ukraine's purpose was always suicide to the last Ukrainian, and everything dangled as a carrot disappears when they let go of that course.
EU/US have to step up financial reconstruction offers instead of weaponized nazification to be relevant in the peace.
That would be nice, I think you're right. I don't think they are serious though, sadly.
