1. The war between Russia and the Ukraine is a silly war.

2. Russia cannot be defeated by Ukraine.

3. Ukraine’s hope is for the NATO nations to join in the war against Russia.

4. But the NATO nations do not want to war with Russia.

5. Their hope is that the war would impoverish Russia, expose its military capacity. Then NATO would be the strongest military force in Europe and the world.

6. In the meantime thousands will die and a big number wounded. Millions are displaced.

7. Now Ukraine wants peace. But Russia demands a big price. Both cannot give way.

8. And the war will go on with no gain for anyone.

9. That is why this is a silly war. No one gains anything.

10. But more people will die, be wounded and displaced.

11. Ukraine has lost its freedom. Russia has to pay a high price.

12. Europe is economically impoverished.

13. Even the U.S. gains nothing as it is unable to open Hormuz.

14. Even America has not succeeded in its war against Iran.

15. Yet peaceful negotiations would yield the same result.
