The Democratic Party is unquestioningly supporting an endless proxy war and has been reluctant to press President Biden to prioritize a negotiated settlement to the war. Joseph Gerson July 12, 2022     https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/07/12/global-nato-alliance-european-left-and-crack-everything   It is no secret that the United States and NATO are engaged in a proxy war with Russia, perhaps to be fought to the last Ukrainian.
