This war has also made me change my perspective on working on weapons, etc. I've always been more of a "how could you justify spending your life working on weapons?" person, but after Russia invaded and started a needless war, I've been thankful that the US and others have been able to provide weapon systems for Ukraine to defend itself. I wish we lived in a world where weapons development was unnecessary but as long as madmen like Putin can single-handedly order a senseless invasion, we obviously need to be well armed.

  But it's an apt comparison. Putin's Russia had prepared 40,000 body bags, mobile crematoriums, and had updated mass grave standards ahead of what they had believed was going to be a low casualty operation for taking over Ukraine. There's just no way of going about it: Russia was prepared to commit mass wholesale genocide of Ukrainians. The only reason why he had not succeeded was Ukrainian resolve and western weapons which they were armed with. Otherwise we'd be witnessing Katyn 2.0 from satellite view.

      Repeated attempts at changing the topic of conversation like you're doing are a rather bad faith thing to do on this forum.
