- JumpCrisscross 4mo agoUkraine is my pet war. I really hope we don’t get caught in the genocide-debate tar pit as well. What’s happening is evil. That’s relatable, both in the problem and potential solutions. Whether it’s genocide under some international convention strikes me as a counterproductive distraction that replaces something horrifying with something boring.
