“Why won't the United States of America encourage Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate, obviating the need for this horrific, horrendous war?” ...

You’ve got this reversed.” Piers Morgan called Roger Waters the dumbest rock star after the rock star trashed the US, accusing President Joe Biden of 'fueling the fire in Ukraine in an interview with CNN's Smerconish. Pink Floyd's co-founder said,“Joe Biden is fueling the fire in Ukraine for a start.
