Sad To Say But...
one of America’s preferred methods of confronting its adversaries is to ‘wage war by proxy’ against them, that is, to support the war of a group or country against a rival without militarily engaging themselves.The history of the Cold War is littered with such examples, such as America’s backing of the Mujahideen against the Soviets in Afghanistan, its assistance to Saddam Hussein against Iran in the Iran-Iraq War, or, on a more contemporary note, its failed attempt to overthrow Syrian President Bashar Assad via local rebels.
Proxy wars allow the US to minimize its own losses by having someone else die for its aims while also procuring geopolitical gain by undermining rival states, at the same time maximizing profits for the military-industrial complex by keeping the arms flowing.
Fact not Fiction.

Old habits die hard!
Homeless people have an average life expectancy of just 50 years.
Something doesn't add up as to why they are giving billions to fuel a war?

there are other regions that have also done the same.

sad to say but it seems to always be a power struggle from some where for some one.

The Vietnam War was described as a civil war within South Vietnam, although it became a proxy war between Cold War powers. As a result, the Vietnamese suffered the highest casualties in the conflict.
Fact.
Anyone can surely see what's happening presently.
What you wrote here is the whole essence of it Luke.
And I support the sentiment fully too that it's not the average Am voter
there is anything wrong with. It's the politicians who,
as soon as walking into DC become paid actors.
Doesn't matter if they came there with pure ideas of serving their folk.
It's corrupt I'm afraid.
Would that suit everyone. sitting watching counting the dead, watching the destruction all by a mad man????
Nope countries have looked at their past and seen they have resolved nothing in their interference made matters worse, so hold their hands behind their back when this is blatant slaughter,
Not two countries fighting Russia has not been touched the Ukrainians are fighting for their own people against an INVASION yes invasion so sit and recount the past in varies countries and do anything but help with weapons

On behalf of, you know... powerful interests.
Uk is solely the first one to say yes, that's all.

You say the solution is for all the countries to jump in and 'push' Russia out of Ukraine, right?
That will never happen in a thousand years.
The moment NATO or one of NATO's allies step into the arena then you will have the start of the 3WW. Can you imagine how many people will die if this happens? Millions of people will die unnecessarily instead of thousands.
Is this really your solution?
Russia is not bluffing.
So yea, maybe it's just you me and Putin who is growing old or something...
I liked what you wrote earlier to the effect of "maybe it wall all just pass".
Maybe it will. Maybe Putin will go home with half done mission.
To be honest I doubt if Obama has anything substantial to do with current affairs but then thats only my opinion and I could be wrong.

Take Vietnam, two super powers fighting a proxy war and the Vietnamese people are the most to die.
Does this make it right?

JMHO
Yip you are right. All western countries should send in Battalions of no name soldiers to help bale out Ukraine.
From now on I'll just agree with everyone as I'm making more enemies than friends (not meaning you} being honest about the war.
We still have a long time to decide who is right or wrong as this war wont end over-night. Or so I'm guessing..

Enemies or not don't give up standing for your conviction.
Then from a global standpoint don't you think China starts taking Taiwan?
America is bad? In what sense?
