Peace is not an option because this is a proxy war. The fault lies entirely on the West, its opportunistic politicians and supporters who try to construct this as an "illegal' war on Russia's part, while they are definitely, resolutely, brutally, without the shadow of a doubt, conducting an illegal war themselves.The Iron Age, and perhaps the more significant,
Age of irony.
What is disturbing are the enabling pundits, the men of quality, like Noam Chomsky, who allow the injustice of the predicament imposed on Russia by a West-controlled Ukraine, yet deny the legality of Russia's response. This makes no sense of the common sort, nor is it justified by International law, which allows self-defence as a legal premise for aggression: yes, you can defend yourself for Chrissake!
Does Russia have grounds? Few deny it, yet it was supposed to wait around for 20 years until the situation resolved itself? Until permission could be granted? The West was obviously not interested in a solution acceptable to Russia, and instead imposed its will in Maidan and its lack of will concerning the implementation of the Minsk Accords. This is an exaggerated parallel to the RC church insistence that an intolerable marriage be tolerated for 20 - 30 years until annulment is granted - on RCC terms. This is injustice with compound interest.
This war is the West's poisoned wedding cake, replete with drooling war-mongers, and military- industrial type exploiters and extortionists - topped off with wild-eyed war and apocalypse lovers.

This is not a war between Russia and Ukraine.
