Well, it takes two to tango and this war is being prolonged by the US refusing seriously to try to get peace negotiations going. Trying to 100% blame everything on the Russians as if they just started a war for the hell of it and had no serious concerns about the Ukrainian rightists overthrowing the elected Russian friendly government by a US sponsored coup, the shelling of the Russian speaking Donbas by the Ukrainians , and NATO's aggressive advance to the Russian border. The US/NATO has supported breaking up Serbia and creating the new state of Kosovo, the US has sanctioned Israel's annexing part of Syria and occupying the West Bank and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza-- as well as NATO's overthrow of the government in Libya, and of course the US invaded and took over Iraq. In fact, the US has done, and is doing, everything Putin is being denounced for. Of course the US government gets the last word in the NYT article: “By attacking Ukraine, the breadbasket of the world, Putin is attacking the world’s poor, spiking global hunger when people are already on the brink of famine,” said Samantha Power, the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, or USAID." Well, if the US is so concerned it can take a chunk of the billions it spends on keeping the war going and increasing its military power and use that money to feed the starving world-- we have the ability to do so but it would also cut into the profits of the military-industrial complex, so forget about it and put up with the hypocrisy of the odious Samantha Power and the imperialist government she represents.
