I don't just blame the US obviously. I blame Zelensky more than the US, for allowing himself to be used by the US like a prostitute. He could have made a deal, but kept insisting that Ukraine would regain all of their land, a delusional sentiment often repeated by many of the posters here, while cheering from their echo chambers. Of course Russia the invader is the most at fault for the war, but the US continued to instigate and supply so much weapons and funding, which I said from the beginning, would only prolong the suffering. The US is definitely a big culprit in how this war was shaped, as Ukraine relied on them almost entirely to fund this war. You can't absolve yourself of responsibility because you're going to lose another war. They should have made a peace deal but the influence from the west pushed them towards destruction.
