Maybe the US should stop meddling in other countries.

Praying to end the war many families lost their loved ones. 😢🙏

It is easy to wait for a better deal when it is not your people in the war.

[FakeNews_Ignored]

Does anyone seriously listen to Austin?

[AbstractMuse]

Just like we could have pulled out of Iraq/Afghanistan whenever we wanted.

[earthangel]

Zelensky can end this war today also !!!!

[amargogi]

Doesn't the winning party dictate terms? If not let the fight go till the end.

[Eric-oiyj]

We did the same thing to Afghanistan for 20 years. No Afghanistan did not attack us. Afghanistan did offer to turn over those which we sought, but they wanted to turn them over to a neutral country for trial. Which any sane leader would’ve taken? no leader should want war, when it can be avoided

[JS-oynn]

Somebody needs to remind Lloyd Austin that losers don’t make the rules.

HONOR YOUR PROMISES OR WORDS FROM THE PAST ON THE SATELLITE COUNTRIES AROUND THE SOVIET UNION AND THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM.

Worst Defense Secretary in US history. Shouldn't even be on the dais.

Putin’s remarks came as Switzerland prepared to host scores of world leaders -- but not from Moscow -- this weekend to try to map out first steps toward peace in Ukraine.

Ukraine could have ended the war back in 2014 if they had accepted the vote of the people in Eastern Ukraine to leave Ukraine. But no. They couldn't let them go, even though they were predominately Russians. Instead they bombed them. The People's vote didn't matter. Now, Russia makes a reasonable offer, but the west doesn't want to given in to Russia. They would rather have endless wars.

[messaytigistu]

Why don't you end this war today!

[deucestemwinder]

Austin is a loser. No respect and neither does Putin. What a disgrace.

[dxlife]

I like how the response to Putin's cease-fire proposal comes from a US defense secretary... does Zelensky or any one from Ukraine even get a say in this any more?

[wlvhgjr]

You did same thing in Iraq 🇮🇶 for 11 years

[wlvhgjr]

He made so much money from Raytheon 🐷💰

Austin a career yes man; nothing like using DEI to select people for your administration. Then you do not have to worry about finding qualified candidates.

[tylerdurden]

You mean even after he proposed a peace plan? Wow, america sure is smart...
