This video clouds my opinion of Ukrainian leadership and Zelensky:
Is it translated correctly? That video makes it look like he isn't a President of anything.
If I die in a conflict with Russia, so goes the world. American nuclear posture is to nuke the rest of the world so no one else can supplant the US globally. I think there are people in the US who want to destroy Russia, break it apart, and sale it off. They tried to do it after the fall of the Soviet Union but Putin prevented them. That is why they hate him so much. Putin may not want to escalate but he has mentioned providing weapons to other countries to do just that, hoping the West blinks. The West is a mess. It can't provide enough arms for Ukraine. I think the Europeans are using Russia as an adversary to maintain unity. The US has a huge military industrial complex and Russia is a convenient foe for it to enrich itself off of. Georgia, Crimea, the Donbas, etc are just places to spark wars to make money off of. Americans aren't doing the fighting or dying. The Ukrainians are. It is sad. Every creature fights over territory. The Ukrainians have a right to fight for their land just as much as the Russians have a right to fight for their people. Ukraine got some money but most of it went back to the US military industrial complex. We bought ourselves new stuff while unloading the old stuff onto Ukraine!
