This whole thing is a steaming pile of horse hockey. I feel for any people stuck in the middle of this, which is why I'm donating time to a UNICEF/Red Cross function today. The rest of it? I'm coming to the conclusion that governments SUCK, cuz they don't do their jobs. At all. Wonder how the rest of the world would've felt if the US invaded Mexico because of the ongoing and escalating war between the drug cartels and the government. No one even hears about that, except for people who live along the border and can watch it progress with fire fights and burning buildings and vehicles in real time with drones. There is crap going on all over the world, but this month's narrative is Ukraine Ukraine Russia Russia. One of the things I've complained about for years in the US is giving billions and trillions of money (from taxpayers) to foreign governments while poverty worsens at home. Should the US do the right thing by their own people, there would be no poverty here. There'd be plenty of living wage jobs here. THEN others could be helped. But instead, there's "foreign aid" with a kickback to US "lawmakers" and 80% of the rest going to foreign government leaders to be pissed away, leaving the people as bad off as they were. With no benefit AT ALL to the US taxpayers who funded it all. And I don't see other countries systems as much better, actually many are a lot worse.
