here is an example for you to think. I'm ukranian, I lived in Kharkiv. russia invaded my country. part of kharkiv which is close to russian border were destroyed heavily, (northen saltivka - in case if you want to search and check). at the time I lived like 15 minutes walk from that area. for two weeks I lived in basement.

russia says there no ukranians, there are no ukraine, (watch putin carlson interview). so - can you say that it is just ukrainian government who sending people to fight just to make money? in fact, i don't need my government to have incentives to fight russia. because I see in my own eyes how they destroying my city and country. in fact, I have no choice but to fight. because if russia occupies all ukraine I'm personally wil be dead for my beliefs. So either fight or flight.

so, to add more craziness to all this - I hear here phrases like "funding foreign war". but in fact, just maybe, those patriot systems from US probably saved my life when russia trying to hit our cities with rockets.

my conclusion btw about this sort of talks is like - never ever say "abstract good phrases". instead, learn something real and try to understand all sides. in this case you will be more balanced and real. because some time bitcoiners feels like cult to me with all this "bitcoin fixes everything"
