US Democrats withdraw letter calling for peace-negotiations between Ukraine-Russia.
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/10/25/2131174/-Shameful-Ukraine-Letter-WithdrawnThe Congressional Progressive Caucus hereby withdraws its recent letter to the White House regarding Ukraine,” Jayapal, a Democrat from Washington state, said in a statement. “The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately was released by staff without vetting. As Chair of the Caucus, I accept responsibility for this.”

"I am very disappointed that you signed that letter to President Biden regarding Ukraine. I read it twice including all the qualifiers. But the bottom line is this: the letter suggests that there should be direct negotiations between the United States and Russia.
This is exactly the position the Russians take. They do not accept the existence of Ukraine as a country. They say that this entire conflict is between Russia and NATO, primarily the United States as the leader of NATO. By writing this letter you have put yourself in the Russians camp. And you have also aligned yourself with the MAGA Republicans.

Exactly.
Russian propaganda has been hyping THEIR invasion of Ukraine as an act of self-defence against western aggression from NATO and the US, who dastardly stole Ukraine from Russia with their fake and engineered Orange Revolution in 2014.
Russia never accepts responsibility for anything. Everything is always the West's fault.
Who is to blame for the millions of Russians killed when Lenin haphazardly introduced Communism and brought about civil war and famine?
The West!!! Because Communism was invented by the german philosopher Karl Marx.
Who is to blame for Hitler's wars?
The West!!! Because they tolerated Hitler's rise to power instead of stopping him. Please ignore that Hitler and Stalin were military allies.
Who is to blame for the collapse of the Soviet Union?
The West!!! Please ignore that the Soviet Union had economic problems and that the people were sick of not having civil rights.
Who is to blame for the oligarchs pillaging Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union?
The West!!! Because Capitalism was invented by the british philosopher Adam Smith.
Who is to blame for this whole Ukraine-war-thing?
The West!!! Because the West started it in 2014 with their coup in Ukraine, because it is impossible to think that Ukrainians would not want to be with Russia. THERE IS SO MUCH LOVE BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA! The Ukrainians would never break up with Russia on their own! The West forced them!
