TW: War, Violence and Abuse

Homes destroyed. Fathers, Brothers, Sons, Husbands killed on the frontlines, Loved Ones and Family Members killed in the cities and in torture cells. Families reeling from these losses. Women, and even men, experiencing sexual abuse. Commoners who were living peaceful lives and had NOTHING agains the enemy, dragged into torture, pain and suffering all for the greed of a few. Mental scars left etched in the hearts and minds that will remain for decades in the minds and hearts of many. People, civilians, living in constant fear of abduction, suffering and death, for defending their rightful home.

The russian leadership is turning into the second iteration of Hideki Tojo and his generals/officers.

For all we mention about learning from the past, we have learned NOTHING. No morality. No humanity. No compassion. No heart. No common sense. Only greed, selfishness, hatred, immorality.

This is not just related to the Ukranian War either. there's the ethnic suppression of the Uyghurs in XinJiang. The Rwandan Civil War, Afghanistan, The Rohingya Crisis, Iraq, Islamic Extremist groups, among MANY OTHER modern conflicts.

The war to end all wars created the worst global conflict in modern day history. And some people have learnt absolutely nothing from the level of humanitarian degeneracy and suffering that caused. Horrifying and sickening is what it is. When will people stop being cruel to other people? When will people learn compassion and selflessness?
