Hmmm, ppl. like Krish55 brought this up about liberals to hide their sick mind, the simple fact is; War is the enemy, will fuck the economy, democracy, future, humanity... and all, is there any question about this ?!
I don't think it's a good time to split and fuck the solidarity with these titles right now. Trump did enough, pls take a break from this game. the Truth and simple thing is Dictatorship and wars, like covid, don't care about your mind and belief.
under Democracy, all the socialists, liberals, and conservatives can live in peace and harmony and fix things during the time, it's HARD for sure but it's the only way to go. we need all of these thoughts in society to check and balance. if you eliminate one side will ruin all.
pls, don't put yourself in that hate machine and mind trap.

The situation is complex, but that complexity doesn't excuse Putin's treachery.

This is why I haven't spouted a lot of opinions about this war.
It's a complex situation that ignorant complaints only make worse.
I have learned a lot about the entire situation, the hardest thing was how little I can personally do to help.
Which keeps me preparing to help in any little way I can, and if I can't I can't and the world will have to be satisfied with my answer for that.
I don't just see Putin as a dictator, I also see him as the man behind the curtain of most of the far right leaders we've had to deal with including Donald Trump. I consider Trump to be nothing more than Putin's middle management for the North American continent. Donald was hoping to get promoted from President of the United States to becoming one of Putin's oligarchs. It's a sweet life when you actually have $Billions.

I haven’t yet noticed such offense but will now watch for it. On the whole, however, I don’t tend to think that info, alone, will generate understanding (partly for the reasons you express).

I'm a Democratic Socialist too. I didn't pick up on what you said is happening. I'm oblivious sometimes.
