The disastrous failure of peace efforts in Ukraine and Gaza

Nothing better sums up the disasters in Ukraine and Gaza than the current run of bombings by the Russians and the Israelis. Putin's bombers and droners have been hitting Ukraine's government buildings in Kyiv for the first time, and Israel is targeting high-rise buildings in Gaza City, literally reducing them to rubble. Why, is not absolutely clear, other than what seems to be a strategy of total destruction. Putin has decided to attack Ukrainian government buildings for obvious reasons. He wants to up the anti and hurt Zelensky as much as possible by making him even more vulnerable every day of his life. If Zelesnky can develop drones with long-enough range or missiles that can fly more than 1,000 miles, perhaps he will order strikes on the Kremlin. This is the way the war is going to go. Meanwhile, Netanyahu is doing his best to turn Gaza City into a heap of rubble, so no one can live there any more, neither terrorists nor Palestinian citizens. Attempts to stop this mindless destruction in both Kyiv and Gaza City have totally failed. No one, certainly not Donald Trump, can persuade either Putin or Netanyahu to call it a day and go for peace. One of the most gruesome issues in Gaza is that the only hostages now getting released or recovered by military action are already dead. Peace is dead.
