I gave two Bitcoin talks today in Kyiv, and both talks got interrupted by air raid alarms. Not a big deal – we were in the basement of a co-working place next to the designated shelter room. But it goes to show how often they go off.

Honestly people usually ignore them. Kyiv is about 3 million people. 3 million minutes is 5.7 years. So once you've spent 13 minutes in shelters, collectively you've spent an entire human lifetime.

The lost sleep isn't worth it when an attack probably "only" kills one or two people on average.

So I'm a warmonger because I might get killed by a Russian cruise missile?

No, because you’re cheering on the bombing of likely innocent people who have no control over what their leader does, whilst accusing them of being criminals for staying in their own country and making a living. I wouldn’t expect my family and friends to uproot from England because the British Govt is assisting Israeli Zionists in genocide of Palestinians because they have no control over the Govt, of which both sides seem to be in opposition to most of the rest of the country. Nor do I see you leaving the US after countless illegal wars and coups conducted by the US Govt. This shit mainly happens because of the fiat money system and this is also why the average person has no say in the matter. I cannot condone the arbitrary killing of innocent people no matter which side they’re on. But you seem to be gleefully nonchalant about it

A wildly immoral argument, unless you want you and me targeted for our governments' many crimes of aggression.

I haven't been a lawful military target in over a decade, and I don't want my sons to /ever/ be.

We have Ius Gentium and various Conventions built up over centuries for very good reasons, but the 2020s Western Establishment is trying very hard to destroy international law. And your post was repeating their talking points.

I disagree with the whole process that led to this war, but the RFAF have been killing 1 civilian to 8 combatants, according to the Ukrainian MoD's own figures.

The last time a Western army waged a war that clean was Falklands 1982.

You can't see that you use two weights and two measures on that, and talking about morality reveals the incongruence of your moral values.

Ok that explains a lot. Since you identify with your government, it's hard to see it in a bad light. I mean you wouldn't consider yourself a criminal.

Oh, let’s see:

Who is the only country to kill hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians (including women and children) with nuclear weapons?

Who made up the claim of “weapons of mass destruction” … and how hundreds of thousands of civilians died?

There’s a long list, if you care to look. I’m not sure how you can claim they haven’t done the same thing.

Iran caused almost no damage with the attack. Your response was to attack Iran with nuclear bombs. That seems a bit unbalanced.
