Though I am 100% in support of the end goals that Russia seeks to accomplish in Ukraine, there is something deeply immoral about any enterprise where mass death is brought about. Especially so in the context of the present cold-blooded 'meat grinder' process being employed. Of course this process has been demanded by the circumstances found by Russia due to the defence in depth system created by Ukraine with its NATO allies along the border of the Donbass and the iniquity of Ukrainian military bombardment of the Russian-speaking civilian population within it.
Thank you for this very compassionate and sympathetic article. I hope many people among "us" feel the way you express. I at least do. It hurts me to think of all those poor devils sent to the meat grinder on behalf of one of the the most criminal breeds in modern history. And I dare believe that many of the folks at the Kremlin feel that way too. But it is not Russia who is sacrificing them. Russia is barely the unwilling executioner.
I keep thinking about mothers, brothers, sisters, children of those Ukrainians who are forced into this horror! How did we come to this point where human lives are sacrificed to keep the West ruling over the world? Thank you for your reflections!
Thank you, Aearnur, a much needed and thoughtful reminder to never forget that human lives are lost and that should not dehumanise people who are thrown by the likes of Zelensky and Boris Johnson into the meat grinder.
