Know what the World is not broadcasting?

The poor bastards sent from Russia to die a dishonorable death. Poor bastards,

1. I think about this often

I wonder what it would be like to be in a position where my job requires me to annihilate my neighbor.

I wonder what it would be like to actually know that pushing that button or pulling that trigger would end a life and change the lives of their loved ones forever.

I think about what might have been told to me as a reason for doing it.

I think about what might happen to me if I “accidentally” gummed up the works if I did not beliieve in Fearless Leader.

2. And all these stories about them calling home and saying, "Mom, I'm really in a war and we are

doing awful things!" and Mom says, "No you aren't. Russia wouldn't do that."

Can you imagine? I do feel for them.

But there was an article posted here that described the Russian political climate as "complicity through years of political passivity." I guess this is where that ends you up. Many of those Moms will learn the hard way.

It's awful.
