that most all of the dead are mandated conscripts, most of whom probably don't even really want to be there.
This entire thing is sickening, top to bottom.
I hope this comes to an end soon.

Russians in the military. Patrol boat in the Black Sea. Might not be too bad if everyone plays nice.

Like everyone else here, I strongly dislike "war." So at times, I feel kind of guilty when I see things like this in the news and find it making me happy. Luckily, the guilty stuff passes quickly.

I don't have an ounce of guilt about Russia. They have leveled an entire country, bombed buildings that were clearly marked with children present. They have bombed the escape routes, hospitals, red cross and the world food people.

Putin is trying to level Ukraine to ashes.

EF, Putin.

I definitely wish that Putin not be alive on earth. But I do feel kind of bad for the dumb kids that get sent to fight the wars that mad men start. It reduces them to savages, and I believe in self-defense, as Malcolm said, by any means nesessary. I favor the global community doing everything possible to help the people of Ukraine win this brutal war.

However some, maybe not the kids, have raped women and children. They have tortured civilians.

I can't forgive that.
