The U.S. has no business being involved in this mess in the first place.

If Ukraine and Russia want to negotiate a ceasefire, great—but why are American officials even at the table? This whole war has turned into a massive money pit for U.S. taxpayers, funding weapons and aid while our own borders are a disaster. A 30-day truce sounds like a band-aid on a much bigger problem, and frankly, I don’t trust any of these governments to act in good faith. The focus should be on de-escalation and diplomacy, not endless funding and intervention. Also, let’s not forget that the Black Sea grain deal is really about global markets, not some humanitarian gesture. Bottom line: stop using American resources to police conflicts overseas and let these countries handle their own affairs.
