The conflict in the Ukraine could easily end today
As the media bombards us with heartfelt images of the Ukraine, I just want to point out the obvious. This conflict could have easily been avoided and could easily end today if they wanted it to.

NATO provoked the conflict by supporting a coup to get the Ukraine to join NATO and put nuclear missles on Russia's border. That is completely unacceptable. If the transnational president of the Ukraine said to Russia in their negotiations, we will not join NATO and we will not put nuclear... read more
