lots of helpful info here.

(ask Georgia about this, though)

brb asking Georgia

So if you want to find a fault with the West, then this is it: Its refusal to get involved militarily in the current conflict (and in 2014 when this whole mess started).

you say this but then you say this:

Do we start a nuclear war out of a principle, or do we wait and hope this somehow resolves itself? Quite smartly, I would say, the US decided to wait and not get involved just yet.

is this not a contradiction?

ya what the hell is going on with the russian army. started watching this and just ended up feeling a broad hopelessness ...
we've outgrown war. war peaked in the first quarter of the 20th C and now it just feels like such a ridiculous waste of everything. apparently there are russian troops abandoning their tanks... no one wants this to be happening except old-world oligarchs who've severed themselves so thoroughly from reality, they probably wouldn't even notice if we dumped them on mars.

It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
