We're no better than we were during the Yugoslav wars, Rwandan genocide, the Killing Fields, or the annexation of Czechoslovakia. Appeasement doesn't work, and we seem to know that; but we're doing a half-hearted slow escalation of anti-Russia measures and support to Ukraine that screams "we're doing the least we can that makes us look like we're doing something". We've sacrificed Ukraine to Russia to save our own necks and it disgusts me.
I say "save" loosely, because have you seen the price of [insert name of anything here]? The poorest of our society are going to die.
We were more than eager to interfer in Iraq when we shouldn't have and we caused a lot of harm and a big distrust of the West, and perhaps that's why we're scared of interfering in foreign wars again.
I suspect it is, though it's hypocritical because we invaded Iraq because they "had WMD's" but won't protect Ukraine because Russia has WMD's.
Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons was a factor in Russian aggression, and Russia's status as a nuclear armed state has afforded it more leniency from the international community. This is terrible for the future of nuclear disarmament.
I think these are fair points
big hugs Ellie, we're all in the same sinking boat
