Bunch of people keep talking about how the US shouldn't broker peace deals and China should. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The fact is, having a third party nation recommendation for peace or no peace is a standard for centuries, and if that nation is a global hegemony with nuclear weapons, then it makes sense.

People want the war could end, but US won't let it. What hypocrisy?

Russia clearly doesn't. In fact they were the ones who started it

The US is one of the least peaceful states in the world, and that's no easy feat. Plus, they are openly involved in the proxy war, as opposed to China.

I'm not seeing the hypocrisy here.

You’re arguing against a position that’s every bit as dumb and I’ll-informed, as the chick that heads up the NED, attempting to overthrow regimes opposed to the US all over the world. The people replying to you in ignorance aren’t in need of a ‘debate’, but an education.
