Its a proxy war.

This War is extremely ugly. Russia has proven its violence and brutality towards civilians. I kinda feel sorry for you.

If you keep believing the media on the claims that Russia has being brutality towards civilians while you ignore or act as if Ukraine is just as innocent.

If one were to step back and look at the entire picture it should become evident that as proxy war between world superpowers is being fought and poor Ukraine was chosen for the staging ground. Ukraine is being used by the media to sell the US and western alliances getting involved to the citizens.

I don't know if that's true or not. We will say it's true for the sake of argument. The solution is still the same.

Go home Russians 👍

Really ?
Are you there ?
Or , is this like Syria , and I believed because the news told me so scenario ?
I am reserving judgement .
However , I am donating to certain Ukrainian charities because war is hell on the people involved .
How bout you ?
Which leads to another point .
I believe the worst place to be during an invasion would to be in the streets protesting .

Rubber bullets and tear gas grenades to disperse protests and riots ?
That is SOP .
I know from back in the day , here in the US .

Once again, nothing but distant pictures in Ukraine's plea to get us into WWIII. Furthermore, who the hell sits in a city, occupied by another country in the middle of a war, and protests as if it'll do something? If these people were scared and Russia was doing everything we're being told they're doing, not a single soul would sit there and protest unarmed. I don't see one firearm, just smoke from a smoke grenade or stun grenade which is the same thing they do here to break up a protest.

I don't know, but if Russia was killing them and killing pregnant women and children and going into schools to kill the children and bombing museums "hiding" children then they'd sure as hell sweep the streets of these protestors. It just doesn't add up, none of it.

They act like Ukraine is innocent because that's all the media spews around here. I'm on neither side, but I don't believe anything the media is saying, and there are far too many red flags coming from the Ukrainians.

Exactly. As mean and ugly and brutal as the media has told us that the Russians are, they would mow down every protester without hesitation. The protesters aren't even armed. We get it worse over here just for protesting a democrat.

Saddam was a tyrant. Didn't mean America should have been there or justified what we did.

I see Russia and Ukraine as the same. I'm sure Ukraine has their list of wrong doubts, hell, I've seen some of the video. But Russia is in Ukraine, Ukraine isn't in Russia.

All that said, my country (US) needs to stay out of it.

You know , I am having doubts about that now .
I guess it's true though because the news told me so .

If that’s true then why was Russia stupid enough to take the bait... serious question.

I mean, I can’t see any possible scenario where Russia is actually going to gain anything from this whole mess.

Seems like they’re quickly becoming a hermit state like NK, isolated from the rest of the world... how can that possibly be good for Russia’s prosperity?

You are right. Putin made a HUGE mistake and he has nowhere to run to or save his face. Only way out is russian people to understand what he has brought to them and it is not good. Right now most of them has a veil on their face but there are people who see what they are dealing with. Only time will tell how things turn out.

I feel like that follows the line of thinking that in any confrontation there's a good and bad side, or good and evil.

I'd be willing to guess that most of the time all the people on power suck. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Same could be said for the proxy war. All parties involved have blood on their hands. Some are just infatuated with finding which side to support.
