I "admire" how the western world now is all in in the war against Russia, from tech companies to media to the random person on the Internet and between. You can't find many different opinions on the matter, all the focus against the "crazy Putin" and Russia. I wish our "Elites" learned from their western masters how to take a firm stand for your people war and how those masters will throw the "liberal values" in the nearest bin when it contradicts their interests.

Go and ask some countries that were invaded by Russia in the 20th century. They came to help us in the same special operation to Slovakia since 1968 and they finally left in 1989.

  Not sure I got your point but Ok. Anyway, assuming that you're either with Russia or with "us" proves my point actually.

    At certain times, not taking a side is actually taking a side. Elie Weisel: "And then I explain to him how naïve we were, that the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must – at that moment – become the center of the universe."

      Not to remain silent, interfering, etc, does not equate taking one of the two sides. Those are not staying silent who do what little they can to prevent orchestrated escalation of this conflict.

      This what I'm talking about. You assume this is binary situation you're either with "us" (=US and the western bloc) or them (=Russia and it's allies). But for me and many people who developed immunity to the propaganda from most sources it's not. Simple! Anyway I will understand if an ukrainian diagreed with me or even hated me and will respect their position, but I won't if it was from another person who used to not care for their (democratically elected!) goverment wars in the "middle east" or South America or Africa unless it affected their life style.

    It proves that Russia doesn't have many allies. Or any allies.

  At least they left. We are still occupying germany, korea, japan, etc. Even worse, we are looking to expand into poland, lithuania, etc.
