I don't care about Ukraine

I don't care about the war.

I don't care about Ukraine, and I don't care about Russia. I barely care about the country that I live in.

It makes me sick to my stomach to see people demonizing Russian soldiers though. You people that do this have no idea what their government has told them, or what Ukrainian people have done to affect their lives. You can't walk in their shoes, all you can do is trust whatever the government/media tells you is true without thinking: "with as many lies have come out in the last centuries about what governments do to drive their own agendas, why should we still leap into battlefields?"

I have my own opinions, just as everyone should be entitled to. I think the boogyman of WoMD is a scam to influence sheepish people into supporting death far far away. I would also, perhaps, be more willing to support the military of the U.S. (where I live) if veterans were taken care of like they should be by the government for life. Instead, they see the initial investment of gear and training and disregard the mental health destruction they deal with for the rest of their life and the lives they impact.

Wake up, learn to step away from supporting wars... specifically foreign wars.
