Seeing that kind of thing makes me so sad. Like for Ukraine, or other countries, we could live happy in peace using money for good things.

Instead, some megalomaniac assholes wants to do vanity wars for subduing population that asked for nothing and are no threats. All of that for nothing instead of giving misery to our world.

That should be one of the number one issue of our world leaders and population, but too many persons prefer to be blind to these issues until they reach them.

It is not world war 3 yet, but we already still have the 50 shades of modern Nazism with countries like Russia and China.




I'd argue that Ukraine, prior to the 2022 invasion, was an immense threat to the Russian government. Ukraine was a "brother nation" that had kicked out their dictator in 2014, in a revolution known locally as Maidan, and had since seen economic growth and lower inequality.

Unless Ukraine is suppressed by Russia* the Russian people may start to look at Ukraine as a role model for how to get rid of their own dictator.

*Still a possibility, the war is almost a stalemate right now.


Trust me, many Russians have such deep concept for Ukraine, they'd rather die than admit they're looking at it as a role model.


But was that the case a month before the invasion?


Typo. I meant contempt.


That's what I assumed your typo was intended to be. The question stands.
