I agree. But I think, for example, that all those calling for he US to get involved in yet another war, should take the Ukrainian President up on his offer.

I live in Moscow. In the past, when I praised russia, the 1488 crowd blasted me, claiming that russia was "run by them." Now, the 1488 crowd is applauding the attack on ukraine, claiming that ukaine is a israeli puppet state. Get your story straight
He should fight himself. That's what happens when you want to join NATO and humiliate Russia.

Russia is apparently so scared of nato, that they are intentionally expanding westward, right next to nato
Orko Trollan
I doubt many people will take up this most generous offer. If at least the president would toss in Ukrainian citizenship he might attract a few criminals in need of a new identity.

Mercenaries are defined in international law as persons who do not belong to the hierarchy of state armed forces and participate in a war solely for commercial interests. Under international law, mercenaries are not considered combatants and do not enjoy protection in this regard, which means that they cannot legally participate in an armed conflict in the same way as soldiers. Therefore, if they kill or injure opponents, they are liable to prosecution for murder or assault. This is provided for in the 1977 First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention on the Law of War.
Nor can mercenaries receive protection under international law as prisoners of war. If they are arrested, they are entitled only to the general minimum standard: the right to humane treatment and a trial.
Moreover, modern international law does not require residents of the country to wear uniforms when engaging in combat-although they must carry their weapons openly and in plain view of the enemy, which includes Molotov cocktails. If they hide their weapons or wear uniforms or uniform parts of the enemy, they lose their status as combatants and are treated as mercenaries. If Germans commit crimes as mercenaries abroad, prosecution is theoretically assured. In the case of war crimes or crimes against humanity, the German International Criminal Code applies; in the case of serious offenses such as murder, the general German Criminal Code applies. Participation in combat abroad is not punishable, but recruiting Germans for foreign military service is.
You can thank Gorbachev for that. He was the one who didn't get it in writing that Nato would not be expanded eastwards. It was he who was so stupid as to trust the Americans. Without this mistake, none of this would have happened.
Nato never would have launched an unprovoked, nationwide attack on another country who was pleading for peace.

If the US do anything to suppress Russian wealth i.e. to remove it from world banking, then we’ll enter into a new economic ice age such as has never been seen before in the world.
Nato did attack Yugoslavia in 1999 without UN approval, and Yugoslavia didn't attack any of the NATO members it was a civil war. So you're statement is stupid, because NATO was created because of Soviet Union as a counter balance and protection from Soviet Union. When Soviet Union fall apart USA promised that they would not expend on east and close to the Russian borders. We see that the was not respected. And that NATO is pushing Ukraine to become a member. That's why Russia invaded Ukraine because they demand for Ukraine to stay neutral. Buy the way I have to remember you that USA didn't allow Russia to deploy racket systems to Cuba because it is a treat for USA.
Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, initially agreed to meet with Russian delegates and suggested to meet in Minsk in Belarus, he cancelled and instead demanded talks be held in a NATO city like Warsaw, Bratislav, Budapest, Istanbul or Baku. He chose the country to hold peace agreement talks, refused to go and now wants to hold it in a country where it is currently impossible for the Russian delegates to even get in because of sanctions
