I like you alex... you are a sane man on here. I wish you would contemplate the psyop gass lighting you are exposed to.
Was Vietnam a good war is all I will say.
Evil is at work.
Too many people suffering.
I am kind as I have seen you be. They are messing with your judgement IMHO.
The Ukes are a criminal gang. As is Russia. As is the entire f’in US Government.
I don’t know how to pick a side anymore and think anyone who does is stupid or complicit or involved.
Then you should be in favor of the war continuing, no?
I mean: If N. Korea and the Taliban were to become embroiled in a mutually suicidal military conflict, would you be there, (vainly) counselling a cease-fire?
Of course, innocents will always suffer in the event of such conflicts, and that is heart-breaking - but there may be no other way to topple tyrannical despots than to allow Nature to run Her course.
I'm no military man, nor am I a geopolitical expert - but I highly doubt that this conflict is going to end before one of the combatants is defeated on the battle field (or Putin is removed).
The Ukrainian people appear to have a genuine desire to protect their sovereignty and preserve their territory, and to repel the Russian invasion and annexation of their land.
The Russians, on the other hand, appear to have made a mess of things.
In light of these facts, the tiny amount of aid that we (the West) are giving to Ukraine to defeat an enemy whose nuclear-tipped missiles are still targeting our (collective) cities seems a small price for us to pay.
I don’t know how to pick a side anymore and think anyone who does is stupid or complicit or involved.
I greatly respect your admission of ignorance - but would caution against passing judgement on anyone else choosing to "take sides."
Regards,
