Yes the situation is becoming critical. WW3 is imminent. As crazy as it sounds, the US may even reinstate the draft in the next couple years.
There is nobody in Washington who is advocating for peace.
NATO wants this war badly as well.
Ukraine has suffered a lot more casualties than the media is letting on. The war is not going well for them.
Russia knows this is a proxy war. It is not just Ukraine vs Russia.
If Putin steps down or is removed from power, it will definitely go nuclear. Putin is actually holding back, the people behind him very much want to use nuclear weapons.
Another thing to keep an eye out for is a false-flag event from Ukraine, which they will try to blame on Russia. Back in 2014, Ukraine shot down the Malaysia Airlines flight and tried to blame Russia (see the movie Ukraine On Fire). Recently Ukraine shot a missile into Poland and tried to blame Russia.
Thank you for providing a source. Although, the claims of censorship here appear hollow per checking currently -
- It's available on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcmNGvaDUs and was posted in April 2021
- It's searchable on Amazon currently despite being blocked in March of this year per the archived result in the article: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Ukraine+on+Fire&rh=n%3A2625373011%2Cn%3A2858778011
This feels out of date; the movie is not being censored now. It was blocked by private companies likely as a quick response to the beginning of the war, and has since been made accessible again.

I already explained my motivations behind what you describe as "acting in bad faith or arrogance" and would rather not be going in circles.
I think that I recognize the parent's allusion. The film is Ukraine on Fire, directed by Igor Lopatonok.

The executive producer (better known for his work as a director) was Oliver Stone. You can buy it on DVD from several major retailers or pay to get it instantly via streaming on Amazon Prime.
The reason "few US citizen seem to know about it" is probably because most US citizens don't watch political documentaries.
> Ukraine on fire
Haven't seen it myself, so no comment other than this curiosity: Released in 2016 ...
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5724358/
... But not to be confused with 2015's Winter On Fire, which the IMDB reviewers rated a bit higher:

Now you can go and search for Oliver Stone movie: Ukraine on fire And you'll get an idea of what's been going there before the war. And arguments against the words how can there be nazis with a Jewish president.
Facts are facts:
1) Obama was instrumental in opening the biolabs in the Ukraine before he was president:

2) Ukraine worked with the DNC to fuck Trump before 2016:

3) There is extensive evidence of Ukraine biolabs:

4) Nuland was behind the CIA/state dept coup of a demoratically elected president in Ukraine in 2014 - this isn't the first time:
Highly recommend watching Ukraine on Fire: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5724358/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 - crazy how all the same people are doing it again.
DDG, unlike google, has a working link to the film banned by YouTube when searching for Ukraine on fire and in third place. Faith restored.

I've been watching Oliver Stone's film 'Ukraine on Fire', fascinating historical background to why this diplomatic disaster and ensuing latest hot war started in an area that's been smoldering and erupting for the last 100 years.
'Ukraine on fire'
Google gets you nowhere near a link to that film at this moment because Google is not a search engine.
DDG has it as the 3rd result so you can decide for yourself.
I had never heard of Oliver Stone's "Ukraine On Fire" documentary until YouTube banned it, so I watched it last night to see what the problem was. It seemed to be a well documented summary of the events in Ukraine in the last 25 years or so. One notable thing was the number of times Nazis were entered into the picture, and it is strange that no one is talking about it.
I can say my perspective has changed a little bit on the subject.
Yeah, it's really unfortunate someone flagged as dupe; it's definitely not the case. Related, for sure, but I think Prof. John Mearsheimer's video offers a deeper and richer context of what is happening in Ukraine, which complements Vox's "are we close to WW3 or not".
(btw, doesn't HN has a "vouch" button for dupes, like on dead posts? Would be great to have an "undupe")
Another interesting documentary is Oliver Stone's 2016 "Ukraine on Fire" [1].
Keep in mind that Oliver Stone has been criticized before for his views o US foreign policy, so the documentary may have some of his bias. Still, it helped me understand better the historical context of what's at stake in Ukraine, Putin's motivations, and what role Western countries played over the last few decades.
