Bunch of people keep talking about how the US shouldn't broker peace deals and China should. Hypocrisy at its finest.

The fact is, having a third party nation recommendation for peace or no peace is a standard for centuries, and if that nation is a global hegemony with nuclear weapons, then it makes sense.

People want the war could end, but US won't let it. What hypocrisy?

Russia clearly doesn't. In fact they were the ones who started it
