The western media has covered puton saying, i demand that u crane never belonged to nato, but never the us. Ien e, what's our side on that?

In this conversation with the renowned Ohio State University political scientist John Mueller, author of
The Stupidity of War,
Retreat from Doomsday: The Obsolescence of Major War, and
The Remnants of War, we discuss the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and what we might expect from Putin’s Russia in the coming weeks, months, and years, along with Dr. Mueller’s outline for how to end the current conflict and compromise with Putin. That seems unlikely at this point, but the prospects of the tragedy of millions of war refugees pouring out of Ukraine into neighboring nations, along with the number killed already and likely to be killed as the fighting escalates, why not give negotiation and compromise a chance?
