I don't expect the invader to accept a proposal to stop their invasion. Hopefully Trump realizes this soon and surges support to Ukraine to force Russia to stop their invasion.
Seems he is half-way there in doing what needs to be done to stop Russia's invasion.
How? Ukraine will need troops from additional armies in order to win against Russia.
So did Viet Nam, right?
The regime the west is supporting in Ukraine is precisely in the position the south Vietnamese regime was.
And Murca fucked that up too.

The USA hasn't won a single war since WW2.
@yogthos@lemmy.ml
Cowardly bombing a country is not 'fighting a war'
Even then, like the ukranians you mostly used a proxy, the Kurds and other local factions to do the fighting for you.
And in good american tradition you threw them under the bus later.
First of all how old were you when it happened?
I bet you got the sanitised, revisionist version, after some years plenty believed it had to do with WMD's and never heard of the US warcrimes. (Same thing happened after decades of Hollywood fantasy movie propaganda when people in EU began to believe the US won the war and not the never mentioned Soviets)
I'm sure I know more about it or history in general you since we have better education than you Canadians and.
I'm sure with the many many SS Galicia warcriminals that moved there, and their offspring like Freeland whitewashing them I think you probably don't know enough about your own country.

Sadly, you're right about my country — most Canadians don't know that many Ukrainian Banderaites immigrated to Canada during the Cold War. They had to be stringent anti-communists, so obviously that would be people from western Ukraine. And yes, just like our former Deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland. Her Grandfather was an official Nazi. I've heard that Alberta has some statues glorifying Bandera, possibly in Sask and Manitoba too, where there are other pockets of Ukrainian diaspora. It appears that some Canadians on Lemmy are followers of this ideology, judging by many of their comments, like the fool you're responding to. Probably why the western provinces of Canada Alberta always vote hard right.

And it continues: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/12/30/cypl-d30.html
Also yes, but my link shows the west actively rescued and evacuated the worst SS nazis even during the war and sent them there.
Others followed later.
They figured it was a good way to counter the left-wing sentiments many earlier immigrants had. Ironically many of them Ukrainian communists.
Here's a good read on how it evolved and how they now have power:

Good luck over there.
@Bloomcole@lemmy.ml
Thanks, yes knew about this. NASA was successful because of German research and the lead technical person was a von Braun, IIRC. West German Intelligence was staffed by many former Gestapo too. They figured it was a good way to counter the Soviets and East Germans in Europe.

hope you're ready to go fight in Ukraine
far down the slippery slope on this one.
Nah, it's not a slippery slope to suggest that people who want wars should fight in them. It's funny how brave y'all are when it's other people dying for your ideology.
It's a slippery slope fallacy to suggest that supporting Ukraine means that they will be enlisted and sent to the front lines.
Thanks for clarifying that you don't understand what slippery slope fallacy is.
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world I doubt very much that the USA could stop the Russians, even if they wanted too.
