But he doesn't say that Putin was just going through the motions, does he? That Putin has no intention of negotiating for peace. He doesn't say that China and Russia have partnered up with big plans for the future as the "dynamic duo."

The rude, non-stop interruptions and won't let the Ambassador finish talking reflect so poorly of American journalism these days...

Sounds like you are describing Russia. They have condemned and brutally invaded a democratic and free country that is of no harm to them. I know the US is far from perfect, but in this case the only comparison that can be made here is if the US invaded Canada then made threats to many nations to use our nuclear weapons if they interfered. It’s Russia saying its our way or the highway ….to Ukraine.

[@teresas8173]

For China to encourage Russia to stop this war is bullying? If China can assist with diplomacy because they seem to have more sway with Russia, then it’s right for the US to strongly encourage China in this direction. It could save MANY lives. The invasion of Ukraine is bullying to say the very least. The second paragraph of your comment is ridiculous.

Yes, Margaret Brennan was rude, for she was just following the ways of the United States as a nation, in which at Daniel 7 in the Bible, it describes the United States as being derived from "a small horn" (that grew into a big "horn", see Dan 7:20) that was among the "ten horns" resulting from the dissolution of the Roman Empire (Dan 7:7), saying: "While I considered the horns (or political nations that grew out of Rome's collapse in 476 C.E.), look ! another horn, a small one (that became the United Kingdom, as a small and distant land that Rome had colonized in 44 C.E., but left in 410 C.E.), came up among them, and three of the first horns (Spain, France and the Netherlands) were plucked up from before it. And look ! there were eyes like human eyes in this horn (that became the United States, as Britain's "child"), and there was a mouth speaking arrogantly."(Dan 7:8) This arrogance that is so pronounced in the United States, will soon be gone, and so will the rest of the political system that has brought nothing but pain and misery to mankind. At Daniel 2, it says: "In the days of those kings (or when "the feet and toes of iron mixed with clay" is ruling [see Dan 2:33], the Anglo/American world power, with the United States taking center stage on the world scene) the God of heaven will set up a kingdom (or heavenly government, called God's Kingdom, see Matt 6:10) that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will CRUSH and put an end to all these kingdoms (the entire political system), and it alone will stand forever, just as you saw that out of the mountain (or God's universal sovereignty) a stone (God's Kingdom) was cut not by hands (or through politics), and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold (or the last five world powers that held sway over God's people, as represented by the metals and clay). The Grand God (whose name is Jehovah, see Isa 12:2, KJV) has made known to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”(Dan 2:44, 45)
