You forgot to read the article. Civilians die in wars just like soldiers. For the past 8 years, Russian civilians were dying at the hands of Ukranians by the thousands. And Putin is supposed to stand for the US not listening to his pleas for the US to stop supporting the Ukraine? Click the links to the article, above.

You mean you defend that, yet two month lasting attack with tens of thousands of dead russian soldiers and ukrainian RA-"volunteers", as well as a huge number of civilians as being adequate?
Correct countermeasures, no?
Putin's Russia gave birth to the first major threat to "world peace" in the 21st century.
Great achievement, no?
Everyone but the wrong people will be paying a high price for all this.
Fair developments, no?
The thing is, i can temporarily take over someone's viewpoint, for understanding, while you seem like you can not (or do not want to).
You might want to try to get at eye level in this discussion, no?
Of course I don't agree with all that death. So, to keep the dying from continuing, the US should move out of the Ukraine entirely... and stop supplying the armaments. As long as the US continues its aggressive activities in that area, there will be war... Russia protecting itself.
Why don't you simply come out and say that you don't believe what's written in the article?
Besides, if you believe the journalists who tell you what's going on over there, without going to check it out yourself, you might as well believe in Santa.
