Don’t fall into the trap of ‘picking sides’ over Gaza: Hamas’s attacks were unconscionable, razing Gaza to the ground would be abhorrent. In both cases, basic humanity is at stake --- [Opinion] (feddit.de)

After closely following the Ukrainian War and learning all the nuances and history in that....I just don't have the energy or time to do the same about a whole new conflict.

Wait until you hear about Macron's travel to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to sign economic agreements... just like the EU did with Ukraine right before 2014... only this time, next week there's going to be a new sanctions package against Russia.

Did I mention Kazakhstan borders with both Russia and China, Russia already has a recent history of "helping" a pro-Russia government stay in power by sending in troops to shoot against civilians, and China would love to build a railway through Kazakhstan and Ukraine right to the EU... with just a tiny bit of Russia lying in the way north of Georgia?
