Any war is a double-or-nothing on the roulette table.

You don't know what could happen next.

Why ?

Because you don't expect the next move of your "enemy", his resilience, and the way he can push you back. You can only expect it, without being sure of it.

Russia didn't expect so much resistance from ukraininan. Bad move.

Russia attacks energy supplies to put all the people in the frost and dark. Bad move.

Russia attacks people and not military target only. Bad move.

When you want to win a fight, you must be clever like the china have done with some lands around.

Military action is the last way to try to win, not the first.

And it seems Russia feels so powerful that they forgot they could loose more than they expected.

China is waiting the moment Russia will be too weak, and they will push on them just after.

In a way, it is "funny" because in the beginning of the 2nd world war, Germany and Russia agreed on a no-aggression pact. And after Germany get stronger they just attack Russia.

It seems they didn't learn from this lesson, or just history is a never ending remake.

And civilian are just treated as shit in all of this, whatever the country they belong.

Peace is good, but what is the real cost of it, your freedom ? your life ?

Nobody is free as far as I'm aware. We are all tax slaves to some government. But some are more free than others. I don't see any difference between being in Ukraine or Russia when it comes to freedom. From what I understand, I think I would be more free in Russia than in Ukraine. I think this argument that Ukraine is more free is propaganda.

Yes, Russia has attacked more civilians than Ukraine has. But this is largely a consequence of the theatre of war being Ukraine, not Russia.

I am first for the civilians. My whole motiviation for talking about it at all is to save as many human lives as possible, to avoid as much death as possible. I may be wrong about how to achieve it.

The only difference is that Russia had attacked Ukraine "physically" 2 times (crimea first and all the country after that).

And people living there were just living their live in peace before that.

War have just put more propaganda in young spirit about the reason why they have to fight the enemy.

They will be no right way to achieve this. it will take a very long time before russian and ukrainian could live again in peace, whatever way this conflict will end.

Because red line have been crossed in both side, and you can't force people to forgot and forgive the pain they have seen and lived in their bones.

And imagining only the "tax" to define freedom is really reductive.

Freedom is also define in a part with this :

And you can say ukraine do the same now with "war-laws" but it is because of war and some russian people undercover on his territory that make sabotage inside the country directly.

And we agree civilian are just the victims of this any country they are born in.
