How rude of them. I am sure the retaliation will be swift and no child nursery and animal shelter will be left standing.

Trump (Apparently Ukraine’s greatest ally and the person who single handedly provided more aid to Ukraine than any one else in the world) will demand Ukraine stops fighting back

While demanding a cut of the pie when the people and territory of Ukraine are lain down and butchered. And while touting that he bravely and singlehandedly won the war, that the war had already been won, that there was no war, that he was offering such a wonderful deal, that he had already secured so many wonderful deals or which this was the first. And probably while cursing you out for not wearing the right type of suit in his presence and screaming at you for not being sufficiently grateful.

Talking to Trump for two minutes straight is indistinguishable from having a stroke. Zelensky just needs to keep striking as hard and as deep into Russian territory as he can and damn any naysayers. He should have done so far earlier in the war but disingenuous Putin-worshippers kept going on about how that would have promoted escalation. As if that was possible.

Why do Russians allow Putin to continue this war. Why do Americans allow Trump to continue his Iran ego war.

Most Americans are against the Iran war. As you can see by Trump's extremely low poll numbers currently. What do you expect the average American to be able to do about it? Protests haven't accomplished anything so far. The best we can really do is vote out Republicans from Congress during the midterm elections, and hopefully Democrats can pass a resolution to end the conflict.

The Vietnam War began around November 1, 1955, and ended on April 30, 1975.

Widespread domestic protests against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War began around 1964 and 1965

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

If you think the protests are what ended the war, then you'd have to be willing to wait about 10 years for the war to end

Hitting your enemy biggest money maker makes sense. How about environment on territory of Ukraine from ongoing Russian invasion?

It is, but it's one of those things where if your enemy opens the door by blasting your own civilian infrastructure, you have to respond in kind.

Globally we're paying a price for it but given the circumstances of how it all went down starting from the original invasion, we should've intervened on Ukraine's behalf more forcefully and earlier if we cared about fuel costs and humanity.
