Going by western media, Russian forces are either withdrawing from Kherson or redeploying to better positions in anticipation of an escalation of activity on the Kherson front.
War is never the answer. Never has been. And there has never been a "just war."
We would not have wars if we did not have governments. Skirmishes we would have aplenty, but war takes a "uniting" motivated by nothing but evil. Wars are the harmful side effects of governments.
(Bankers, by the way, are no more evil than you or me are.)
The problem with saying that bankers are no more evil than the rest of us is that even the most generous reading of human history shows that the rest of us can be pretty damn evil.
The high bar isn't being more evil. It's being less.
"We would not have wars if we did not have governments"
I agree 100%
"Bankers, by the way, are no more evil than you or me are"
I work in high finance and these people are a necessity for me. Just a tip from the top, roughly half of them want to exterminate most of humanity, the other half are ambivalent. So you are half-right.
I happen to currently be reading a book about ancient Greek mythology. There was some rumbling that "the gods" wanted to provoke the Trojan Wars because they were concerned the world was becoming over-populated.
That's another sensitive topic for me. We don't need fewer people. We need more. People are people's most valuable resource, but you would never hear this from any government official.
Finally I happen to be pro-choice, but, at the same time am willing to admit that I'm in favor of killing babies in some circumstances. It's not the glorious practice Democrats hope to squeeze votes from.
I know people who live in these places. This brother war is appalling.

Wars usually are. Which is why we do best to avoid them when we can.
Slavs are always used by bankers as "collateral damage".
I'm half Slavic, I know what's going on.
