Front Page Magazine: There Won’t Be Peace in Ukraine
Wars are a natural part of human history, often fought over territory rather than orchestrated by external conspiracies. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine exemplifies this, as both nations demonstrate a willingness to endure significant casualties driven by deep-seated animosity.
