[quote=Anonymous]It’s just painful. All the familiar names, places I’ve driven through, familiar landmarks, and seeing people who have been so hopeful, seeing the incremental improvements,  who’ve been through so much in their aspiration for independence, who fought for it for so long. 30 years of independence to get crushed again by russia. I am hopeful for a best outcome, but even a best outcome is one of death and destruction.

and russia, please don’t tell me about the bravery of 2000 out of 140 million who have expressed their anti war. The war has been going on since 2014. How many expressed anti war sentiment during those years? The soldiers, the army, the police are all russian and if they are protecting the regime, they must agree with it. This is not a situation where the power / army is held by a different nationality, race, religion, or ethnicity than those protesting. This is not Indians standing up to the British, or Algerians revolting against the French. Ultimately, the army, and the police have a choice to not shoot their own compatriots. They choose not to. They could choose civil disobedience. After 8 years, the bravery is too little, too late.

So, while bombs are falling on kindergartens in ukraine, it’s adding insult to injury to write about the brave russians because they dared walk in their streets. They had 8 years to express their anti war sentiment.

Ukraine is losing whether it “wins”, it’s just degrees of how much loss. 14,000 have already been killed since 2014 and over 1 million internally displaced persons, and now more deaths, more destruction, and more refugees. Many are those who already left their homes in 2014, and are now leaving their lives again. [/quote]
