Just in case you thought maybe the Dems had finally seen the light after Rafah. Nope! How about even more bombs for Israel?

How do you want us to push for peace there too? Because we have been since the beginning of the war in my eyes.

What do you mean by "won't recover from"? Because they have lost things that can't be recovered since the beginning of the war. Russia is losing things they can't recover too; thousands of its people for example, it's money reserves, its military inventory, its non-military-sector economy. Where do you draw the line for Russia and Ukraine of what is "won't recover from"? Western nations have already committed to helping rebuild the country and especially its destroyed infrastructure.

How is the war in Ukraine "quickly turning into a much bigger global conflict"? Fighting is still only within Ukraine and the border to Russia. Western material support has been the case since the beginning.

I have to assume by pushing for peace you mean Ukraine should accept losing large parts of its territory and human atrocities in order for the fighting to end. Is letting Russia win going to reduce conflict long term though? They'll have more resources to invade other countries next. And proof that it's a worth investment. That works and they win from. There was precedent before the current war in Ukraine, which is why they started this invasion in the first place. Only this time it didn't go as smoothly.
