I totally get that geo-politics is extremely complicated and there is so much that I could never understand and so much information that I'd never get access to...

... but from the information I do have, I believe I can make some moral judgements on events that happen - and I'm happy to update those judgements as new information comes in.

Bombing a children's hospital - seems very bad. I'm not sure if there is a ton of new information that I could receive that might make me change my mind to agree it was a good idea.

Whereas, say, authorizing FEMA to help rescue people from a natural disaster - seems very good.

So if all the geo-political actions are on a spectrum from very bad to very good, then Russia invading Ukraine seems very bad to me, especially since they could stop at any time and it's likely impoverishing Russia itself. If I found out Ukraine was killing Russian civilians and Russia had tried everything else to get them to stop, then that would change my mind about the situation.

I care about Ukraine because I have friends from there, I care about Palestine because I have friends from there and friends from Israel. I care about the political environment in Venezuela because so many on Hive have written about it. I care about the atrocities within China, but I honestly don't know that much about it all. I'm aware there are conflicts in Africa, but I honestly don't know much about them.

I think the use of economic sanctions against another country can be good if it dissuades violence or war, it's a better alternative between the two - but I also understand sanctions can, and have, be used immorally - which is terrible.

Leaders do good things for people all the time. I truly appreciate when leaders support transitioning renewable technologies. I think in the USA, capping insulin prices to $35 could be literally life-saving for US citizens. I don't personally know much about it or anyone affected by it, but from what I know it seems good. I'm sure I could list a bunch of other good things if pressed and could research a heap, but this response is way too long already.
