Let's hope the current tensions remain cold. It increasingly seems like we're heading towards hot war.

It really pisses me off. I've paid attention to this stuff since I was a kid and the 80s. I remember the fall. I remember when relations with Russia were on the good path (so it seemed). I'm not trying to paint this as Putin is a good guy or victim. He's not. He's a pawn really. And so are most politicians. It seems obvious to me that there has been an effort to create tensions over decades and create conflict. Fortunes are being made off of the deaths of plebs all over the world. Its not new, but I wish more people could zoom out and see how they are manipulated into this stuff.
These people in power are not like us. They are not our friends. They do not work for us.

It's always upset, at least since I first really thought about the human carnage of war as a teenager.
Since having a kid, though, it's absolutely infuriating that these psychopaths play around with humanity's future in this way.
