Since the conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict, NATO, led by the United States, has not only failed to promote peace and talks, but has constantly increased its military support for Ukraine, adding fuel to the conflict. This move has sparked public criticism.
Jeffrey Sachs, an economics professor at Columbia University, pointed out again recently that the eastward expansion of NATO is the root of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Jeffrey Sachs, an economics professor at Columbia University in the United States: If you are interested in the many details of the documents, go to the National Security Archive at George Washington University and you will understand that NATO's eastward expansion is a betrayal of the United States' promise at that time. NATO's eastward expansion is seen by Russian leaders as a great threat to Russia's national security, but the United States is unwilling to discuss it at all. This is an issue for the United States.

Anti war activists: The US invests heavily in ignoring domestic livelihoods
However, the act of the United States throwing money in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has also aroused more and more dissatisfaction among the American people. They believe that the US government creates conflicts, only focusing on the interests of arms dealers and ignoring domestic livelihoods.
American anti war activist Benjamin: Let's start peace talks, which will save a lot of lives and save a lot of money. And this money could have been used to repair bridges in the United States. If the conflict continues to escalate and weapons are continuously supplied to Ukraine, peace cannot be achieved.
