My 2 cents. I think we all want any fighting and bloodshed to end and for words to take the place of bombs. I hope all conflicts end quickly and I support all innocent civilians, whether Russian or Ukrainian or from other countries. Most people are just trying to go about their lives and make enough money to survive and have some occasional creature comforts and aren't harming anybody. I've worked with Ukrainians and Russians before, and they can be great, smart, amazing people. That said, the idea that most people here understand the crazy geopolitical maneuvering going on is absurd. Most people (myself included, I'm not trying to sound smug) don't completely understand the energy politics at stake here with pipelines and the power-plays with monetary policy going on right now. Hell, most people don't even have the energy politics or the global currency on their radar screen: the media is trying to turn this into "Putin is some cartoon Hitler villain" just like they did during Saddam or Slobodan or Kim 2-minutes of hate that were obvious propaganda that the mainstream media also urged in lockstep. People should do whatever they feel right about, that said urging something along the lines of censorship if you probably don't understand all of the issues feels misguided to me.
