There is Never Good News About War

Even news of the "end" of any war, always brings more news of death.

The rest of the story always involves not only the death of the combatants, but of children.

Including babies.

War's horrors are never to be "celebrated".

Even in "victory", we humans always lose.

God Bless You, Ozzie & co (so to speak) hahahahah


"In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!"

there are no real winners in a war, everyone loses

think of the money alone that could be spent on, say, cancer research

There are very sick human beings among us, and sometimes they are successful in maneuvering themselves into positions where they can cause enormous damage to the rest of us.

Putin should never have been allowed to get this powerful.

There are way more sycophants than there are Navalnys.
