Paywalls make it harder to read newspapers.
Even for you that is a very strange non sequitur.
Many Newspapers have websites where you can read the news of that newspaper. In Germany, every important newspaper has a web presence. Is this different in the USA?

If this presence is behind a paywall, it is harder to read the news there. If you want to read news from several papers, this would become rather expensive.

I suppose love meant it that way.

But the connection to this theme here is very unclear to me ;)

It should be free to read about the war in Ukraine.

Sending NATO weapons to lean on the Russian border,
is uniquely dangerous.
I can't follow you. Having no defense against the aggression of Russian fasZists would be dangerous, as history tells us. You think preparing a defense is more dangerous? Why?
There needs to be a peace deal.
Not a deal, but a just peace. Russian out of Ukraine, voting in areas where a majority vote for Russia is possible (Crimea, Donetsk), and reparation by Russia for the damage done in Ukrainian territory is a minimum. Having the criminals that ordered or conducted war crimes (Putin, officers of the Russian army, leaders of »Wagner« etc.) before the international court of justice would be the optimum, which will only be possible if Russia turns away from faZcism back to democracy.

BTW, the USA should end their opposition to the international court of justice. It is hypocrisy to hold up international law and at the same time refuse this law applied to the own nation.

Neutral UN Blue Helmets could set up a buffer zone.

Russia should use the international court to tell NATO to stay away.

Stay away from what? Countries joined NATO out of fear that Russia might attack them. The NATO did not allow the Ukraine to join the NATO, so it stood away and thus allowed Russia to attack that country. We have a moral obligation to help those we did not protect against a fascist attack when this protection was possible.
To stay away longer and leave Ukraine into the hands of the faZcists would lead guilt on us.

In 1938, the west (UK, F) allowed Nazi Germany to take over Austria, and then made a deal about German-inhabited parts of Czechoslovakia. Only when Germany captured Czechia, the West awoke and acted against the fascist in a way that lead to war.

In 200-2012, the West did next to nothing when Russia interfered into the internal affairs of other countries (Moldova, Georgia etc.), it made some sanctions when Russia took the Crimea in a way like Hitler did in 1938, and the West only awake when Russia attacked Ukraine on a large scale.

Putin is within Russia not like Hitler, but rather like the first fascist leader Mussolini, but nevertheless a fascist aggressor. He has to be stopped.

I’m sure one can be worked out after Russian withdrawal.
