Anyone else being bothered by the war in Ukraine?

[orwell]

5. I was never in the military...

...and I am decidedly anti-war. But thank you for your courage and conviction.

I marched against the Iraq war because I didn't buy our reasons for getting involved. I am so disturbed by the Ukraine war I can barely function.

I do believe I would have fought in WWII as this was a war against a madman who was striving for world domination and committing genocide.

In other words, you can be anti war and anti violence and still believe that there are some things worth fighting and dying for.

Pure evil must be enjoined in battle. The battle can take many forms, not necessarily violent.

But to walk away from needless human or animal suffering diminishes us as a human species.

To put it succinctly, if I knew I could put a cap in this motherfucker and take him out, even though I would die in the process, I would do it in a red hot minute.

(BTW, my 93 year old Italian mama, the kindest most loving person you could ever meet, agrees with me. Don't mess with mama...)
