The biggest lesson from the Ukraine war with Russia so far is that nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament must become (along with climate) the highest level priority for the human race.

Both presuppose the replacement of capitalism.

Could be the opposite Marianne: small countries can see that @NATO is afraid to put boots on the ground fearing Russia's nuclear wrath, so they may seek their own nukes at any cost as the see it as the only way to protect themselves from future NATO invasions!

We can end all wars forever if the majority reject both political and economic hierarchies. No way to have a war if no one follows a leader.

Instead, the US government has actively scuttled numerous attempts to find compromise and relative peace, with the limited criticism being written-off as pro-Russian or, somehow, Trumpian.

In this case, Ukraine is the victim of unilateral nuclear disarmament. Russia reneged on the deal. So expecting Russia to live up to live up to any peace deal is folley. They live up to our trust but verify treaties because it is in their best interest only.

This may be a controversial opinion, but I think that nuclear weapons might be the only thing keeping us from a land war in Russia. It’s a paradox, but nuclear weapons may be the only reason we haven’t had WW3 break out yet. Though, of course, the downsides mean Armageddon.

Not as long the warmongering Americans don't change their ways.... We must first push for peace around the world...
