What I believe in is that Ukrainian soldiers are now desperate; they did not get promised help and now went astray, having no mercy towards infrastructure and civilians, which I believe is in vain, just causing much more victims than it could.
I do not believe that Putin is a threat to countries that you have mentioned, at least not at this point in time.
I don.t understand why you think that I think situation is straightforward.
Talking about doing what someone wants, I wonder same for years, for the US, why their gov is allowed to do whatever it wants? Putin did not want to let them. Now I might ask, if Putin did not interfere, where US would stop? At the borders of China?
For someone who has been following situation in that regions for some time, it is clear what impact had and has US and what they wanted.
But all this is contemplating in level of principle. In level of sane human, as I said, am against war.
I hate the hypocrisy of western world> when US is destroying countries for its own benefit is ok but when someone else is doing it is wrong. Both are wrong. Just take a look at what countries were "liberated" by US and say, is it ok? Now they are doing the same just this time through proxy-UA.

Further, should this be cover of the magazine? Like in Orvel.s 1984 -war is peace

And what about this? If someone on the east said something like that would be imprisoned in a second

And many other examples... so let.s not take things for granted that US is good guys as they branded themselves and everyone else bad. They are equally bad and should be treated accordingly.
And for the end, I have to mention my wonder about all this cry over Ukrainian civilians online, but when info about help for refugees is given to be shared, it is not? Is something wrong with my post or some other that I have seen giving info about actual help possibilities instead of chit-chat how terrible all this is?
