But I do share your sentiment about the Russian and Ukrainian people.

My overall gist is that I feel I have to callout that despite the conflict between governments... it's not the civilian populations that have to be brutalized and traumatized.  In neither country will you find people chomping at the bit to be at war... The Biden administration has firmly put us in the middle of this... all to support NATO which wants regional dominance... and the result is a lot of dead people who weren't in it for a life-death struggle.

Our political operators will always screw us, there's always seems to screw them...  (we have so much in common)

But the "players" in this conflict are always warm and comfy... (and well-guarded)... and they are "never gonna give you up!"  Go figure.
