   No, silly, it isn't a war.

   It's a "special military operation".

   "I never imagined that hunger could be more terrifying than the bombs and killing. This weapon caught us off-guard, something we never thought would be more brutal than anything else we’ve faced in this endless war.

   It’s been four months without a single full meal for my family, nothing that meets even the basic needs on Maslow’s hierarchy"

   To me, "22 years ago" was not that long ago, and I remember exactly what I was thinking & how I felt when the #Dubya Administration was ginning up an excuse to attack #Iraq.

   MILLIONS of protesters around the world took to the streets to protest the march to war.

   It sickens me now to see how few people barely old enough to remember the build up to invade Iraq & the flag-waving afterward don't see what I see that history *clearly* appears to be repeating itself (only worse.) 😱

   In the current aggressive imperialism of the US, some Americans online insist that they don't approve of war and shouldn't be lumped in with the Americans who are banging the drums for war.

   It's not the job of Canadians, Kalaallit (Greenlanders), Panamanians or Gazans to make you feel better and absolve you personally of complicity in potential invasions. We have other things to do.

   It's *your* job to make sure the wars don't happen. Stopping wars is hard; you need to start now.

   Where are the eyes of the public?

   On the gutting and hostile takeover of the federal government?

   No. On planes falling from the sky.

   Trump dumped the summer water for California's growers. That water could also have been used to fight fires. That is an act of war.

   It's so nice the police and military will protect us. We can always count on them. Look at how they're helping right now! Aiding Trump, I mean.

   The billionaire Russian leader and the billionaire American leader with his billionaire bros club have taken aim at their enemy with intent to ethnically cleanse. It is us. Every one of us. Everyone who is not in the billionaire bros club is the enemy of the billionaire bros club. I don't care how much money you think you have. You aren't worth puke to them.

   Where are the Democrats?

   Where is the military?

   Where are the cops?

   "It will be the end of democracy," they said. What they didn't say was, "because we're not going to pull the trigger to stop it."

   As many people express their outrage about #Russia attacks on civilian areas of towns and describe them in terms of “irrational cruelty”, I’m afraid it is very much rational within the framework of Russia’s strategic goal. Which, after many iterations, now boils down to not losing the war.

   It’s mostly us, the Western society, who notoriously don’t get it and still assume Putin’s Russia is after some kind of “deal” here. If he was, then yes, it would be irrational. But he isn’t.

   Most interestingly, Russian propagandists voice this quite openly. It’s just that we are in some kind of denial, just as when Bolsheviks were talking about “eradication of bourgeoisie as a class” the West imagined they’re using the word “eradication” somehow “figuratively”.

   The purpose of these attacks is to sow the sense of insecurity, depression and terror among Ukrainian society so that it stops resisting and just gives up, agreeing to whatever terms Russia is ready to offer now.

   Unfortunately, these attacks will only intensify before and during the winter as Russian leadership apparently started to grasp that they may not be able to afford yet another year of war and Ukraine’s fall in military terms is not at all imminent, as they lulled themselves for the last two years.

   Putin’s increasing cruelty is likely a direct consequence of his own increasing insecurity, based on the processes visible publicly (Russia’s economic decline, Kursk offensive) and those which we don’t see (secret public opinion polls).

   So today’s attack on Lviv was entirely planned to hit civilian quarters, just as the “Okhmatdit” hospital attack. Emotional reactions are natural, but they’re not going to change anything - there will be more.

   If you can, the best thing to do is to donate to the #Ukraine army or humanitarian funds, because they are what actually do change situation on the ground. One Russian strategic bomber destroyed in Russia one less delivery vehicle for the rockets such as those that hit Lviv houses or hospital in Kyiv.
