    Absolutely, I can understand indifference when it’s hard to tell who is the evil part. But in the case of the Russian invasion of Ukraine there is zero doubt for anyone with a shred of humanity left, who is the evil part.
    Ukraine did NOTHING to deserve this, on the contrary they gave up their nukes in hopes they could live in peace!!!
    The only lesson any Russian state can take from this when the Russian federation collapses is to under NO CIRCUMSTANCES give up your nukes!
