We could use some truth telling

It seems a waste of pixels to post this (from the Guardian UK) but I'm feeling intolerant of foolishness and will not resist. This headline is false, absurd, and based on lies. Why do otherwise semi-sane media continue to play along with the game?
 
There is NO evidence that any party to the war being fought by Ukraine against Russian aggression wants "peace."
• Putin wants to erase Ukraine from the map; it's all Russia in his fantasy.
• Trump wants Russian minerals and whatever additional payoff Putin is offering. Oh yeah -- and a peace prize.
• Ukrainians want Russia to get the hell out of their country and must wander through whatever convoluted byways are required to keep that hope alive. While suffering.
• Europeans wish the whole thing would stop impinging on them; though on alternate Tuesdays they understand Russia threatens them all.

Ukraine is the Spanish Civil War of our era, a messy contest between more-or-less democracy and fascism in which the unfortunate Ukrainians provide a plaground for big bullies.

This time as deadly farce ...
