Nobody wins in a USRussia nuke showdown

In 1845 the United States illegally annexed Texas from Mexico; and a year later President Polk provoked a war with Mexico in order to annex even more territory from Mexico, which became all or parts of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

Last Friday the United States went to the United Nations Security Council to get a resolution calling on nations to: 1.) refuse to recognize Russia's annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhya in Ukraine; and, 2.) demand Russia withdraw all military forces from Ukraine. Ten countries voted in favor, and Russia vetoed. However, China, India and Brazil abstained; and called on the United States to pursue a political solution to the war over Ukraine.

The United States has stated categorically that it will continue to militarily support Kiev until every “inch” of Ukrainian territory is returned. Yet no one seriously thinks that the United States will ever return the territories it annexed to Mexico; so why would the Biden administration expect Russia to return those areas to Ukraine.

Ironically, if the United

States had not carried out the illegal coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014 Crimea would still be part of Ukraine; and, if it had called for the implementation of the Minsk II agreement to resolve the Ukrainian political conundrum Russia would have not intervene into Ukraine last February. But instead humanity is blindly getting closer to a nuclear show down between the United States and Russia where there will be no winners.
