I saw so many parents of young children

on the Herman Cain Awards Reddit, it was staggering.

A lot of this comes from anti vaxxers.

Of course nothing can be done to help them because nothing can get through the Senate.

The ones I saw on Reddit always went for GoFundMe.

Pictures including 3 year old with signs of rape.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/twanhp/first_foto_bucha_russians_burned_the_bodies/

Edit: Don't click if you don't want to see the pictures.

I believe it's important that this information be as widely disseminated as possible.

Yeah that's bullshit.

Loads of younger Russians have VPNs and talk freely and openly about their bloodlust on Telegram and Instagram.

And how does that explain this behavior by Russians in Germany?

Flame me if you like, but I think one of the unusual aspects of this war

is how clear cut it is in terms of good guys and bad guys.

Most other wars in recent history have been civil wars in which both sides were somewhat unsavory or unsympathetic. Same with wars between poor, developing countries. Who were the good guys in the Iran/Iraq war?

Even in the wars where we were the bad guys (Vietnam, Iraq) our opponents were not particularly sympathetic.

This is a war where a large and powerful country with a brutal, autocratic leadership has attacked, unprovoked, a much smaller and weaker, mostly peaceful and mostly democratic country.

The object of the attack is simply to conquer the country and eliminate it as a distinct nation. In order to achieve this objective, the attacker is perpetrating atrocities against the civilian population intended solely to break it and totally subjugate it.

I don't think it's a color or race thing either. If China does the same thing with Taiwan, I believe that our reactions will be very similar, and for similar reasons.

Other wars have as much, or even more, atrocity and suffering, but few of them involve such a clear cut, one sided aggression.

Anyway, that's my opinion. Flame away.
