1. You mean the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Let's stay careful about who is really the active instigator and assailant in this war.

2. Not only is this bad news for the environment, but the detritus of war will take a generation to clean up

Not to mention the rebuilding...

3. There is so little understanding among the rubes

that they don't understand the global impact of what many view as a regional war. The cost to repair the infrastructure in Ukraine will cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

4. It certainly will - the destruction is incalculable - and for what??

Not to mention, the remnants of war which will be left behind. But the worst, of course, are the lives lost. Russia is clearly guilty of war crimes - we've heard that Putin is being investigated, when will he be charged??
