Yes the trail of tears was bad and terrible. 15k vs 1.5 million isn't close. The Turks objective was to kill the entire race. The US's wasn't. Your post falls far short.Removing Native Americans from their Land
Ohio land cessions
In 1786, the United States established its first Native American reservation and approached each tribe as an independent nation. This policy remained intact for more than one hundred years. But as President James Monroe noted in his second inaugural address in 1821, treating Native Americans this way "flattered their pride, retarded their improvement, and in many instances paved the way to their destruction."
In addition, Monroe observed that America's westward growth "has constantly driven them back, with almost the total sacrifice of the lands which they have been compelled to abandon. They have claims on the magnanimity and . . . on the justice of this nation which we must all feel." Despite Monroe's concern for the plight of Native Americans, his administration successfully removed them from states north of the Ohio River.
President Andrew Jackson offered similar rhetoric in his first inaugural address in 1829, when he emphasized his desire "to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people." Yet, only fourteen months later, Jackson prompted Congress to pass the Removal Act, a bill that forced Native Americans to leave the United States and settle in the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.
Many Cherokee tribes banded together as an independent nation, and challenged this legislation in U.S. courts. In 1832, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokees, but some tribes still signed treaties giving the federal government the legal authority to "assist" them in their move to the Indian Territory.
In 1838, as the deadline for removal approached, thousands of federal soldiers and Georgia volunteers entered the territory and forcibly relocated the Cherokees, some hunting, imprisoning, assaulting, and murdering Cherokees during the process. Cherokees who survived the onslaught were forced on a 1,000-mile march to the established Indian Territory with few provisions. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this "Trail of Tears."

An audio recording of a Native American song commemorating this tragedy is available in the Library's online collections. A description of how some Cherokees settled in West Virginia can be heard in the audio recording Plateau Region as Unofficial Refuge for Cherokee.
The expansion of the United States that encroached upon Native American lands occurred faster than many policymakers had predicted, with events such as the Mexican-American War in 1848 placing new territories and tribes under federal jurisdiction. A government report, The Indians of Southern California in 1852, explained that many Californians believed "destiny had awarded California to the Americans to develop" and that if the Indians "interfered with progress they should be pushed aside."
Trail of Tears, in U.S. history, the forced relocation during the 1830s of Eastern Woodlands Indians of the Southeast region of the United States (including Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other nations) to Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River. Estimates based on tribal and military records suggest that approximately 100,000 indigenous people were forced from their homes during that period, which is sometimes known as the removal era, and that some 15,000 died during the journey west. The term Trail of Tears invokes the collective suffering those people experienced, although it is most commonly used in reference to the removal experiences of the Southeast Indians generally and the Cherokee nation specifically. The physical trail consisted of several overland routes and one main water route and, by passage of the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act in 2009, stretched some 5,045 miles (about 8,120 km) across portions of nine states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Tennessee).
The roots of forced relocation lay in greed. The British Proclamation of 1763 designated the region between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River as Indian Territory. Although that region was to be protected for the exclusive use of indigenous peoples, large numbers of Euro-American land speculators and settlers soon entered. For the most part, the British and, later, U.S. governments ignored these acts of trespass.

Let’s see if this one goes through. Their government backed out of the last deal for them.

So, in other words, appeasement.
A somewhat long read but paints an interesting picture. Looks like eu countries adjacent to ukraine would prefer continued fighting until russians are pushed out, some (slightly removed from ukr) countries want hostilities to end asap, zelensky himself evaluates things in a more nuanced way.
btw, if this is a untrustworthy source/link, it's unintentional. let me know and i'll remove.

If I'm an Eastern EU country, I would want Ukraine to drive Russian army back to the stone ages. How many times do we need Russia to be hostile offensively before they are stopped. End it. Russia needs to be the one to demilitarize.
Small pox in their blankets suggests otherwise. By the way, most historians put the estimate at 60k or more.
So, I'm not up to date on my daily news due to work. I could have sworn that I heard on NPR in background that Russian Oligarch and Ukrainian negotiators might have been poisoned. Is this true? F Russian warship if true.
Yes, it is true
Roman Abramovich suffered 'suspected poisoning' at talks

Well shite, does anyone really not think Putin needs to be taken out?
By far the funniest development in diplomatic circles is that English is the lingua franca of practically all spheres.
That has to make the French seethe, right?
It’s a rich man’s world, baby!
Two of Russia’s staunchest allies in Latin America declined to vote against the U.N. resolution condemning Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Both Cuba, with a decades-long relationship with Moscow, and Nicaragua, whose authoritarian leader has expressed support for the invasion, abstained from the vote condemning Russia’s actions, The Miami Herald reported.
How about Venezuela? Nicolás Maduro has been a supporter of the Russian invasion, with declarations such as, “What they are doing against the Russian people is a crime, an economic war.” Maduro also reiterated time and again his support for President Vladimir Putin in what the Venezuelan dictator calls the “conflict with Ukraine.”
So, it was only expected that Venezuela would vote “no” on the U.N. resolution. But Venezuela simply did not cast a vote. The reason is unpaid dues to the U.N. Qué vergïenza!
Venezuela has entered the list of U.N. defaulters since 2016 when it began to accumulate outstanding debts that prevented it from having a vote within the international body. This was the fifth time Venezuela lost its right to vote in the U.N. General Assembly, due to a millionaire debt accumulated in the payment of mandatory dues to participate in the organization. The country must pay a minimum of $40 million to be removed from the list of 10 other countries in arrears by 2022, according to an official document from Secretary General António Guterres explaining that the sanction is established in Article 19 of the U.N. Charter.
Seems to be various reasons. Greenland is a Danish territory. Western Sahara, Taiwan and Kosovo aren't recognized by all UN nations.
It was originally supposed to be the ides of April but, you know, potheads.

We can all think it, but apparently the President of the United States is not allowed to say it out loud.
While Russia’s 1998 default was partially driven by the new government’s inability to effectively collect taxes from the oligarchic class, the country’s integration into global markets also played a significant role in its emergence.
What’s awaiting Russia may be much worse than the chaos of 1990s
If Putin does not change course – and fast – Russia may find itself in an economic catastrophe akin to that of 1918.www.aljazeera.com
Weird.
I know another country that has the same problem. Because the oligarch class buys off the representatives.
If true, wow. 30 guys on quad bikes and drones.
