Bunch of people keep talking about how the US shouldn't broker peace deals and China should. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The fact is, having a third party nation recommendation for peace or no peace is a standard for centuries, and if that nation is a global hegemony with nuclear weapons, then it makes sense.

People want the war could end, but US won't let it. What hypocrisy?

Russia clearly doesn't. In fact they were the ones who started it

There's little point in arguing with people who think history began yesterday.

Ukraine started the war in 2014 by shelling civilians in the donnbass

What's more interesting is how it seems all the home grown, American establishment sycophants think backing a coup attempt against Ukraine's democratically elected president (Yanukovych) doesn't count, when you tell them the US had a hand in starting the conflict.

People refuse to hold their own side accountable and recognize what their contribution to the problem is.
