I know what you mean. The tension now between Russia and its neighbours, let alone the UK and other nations has been going on for as long as I can clearly remember. I’m 26 now and I don’t want to have to be dealing with this for the rest of it. I know it’s sad, but I really do feel like we need to just get on with the fighting and get it over with. It’s better that than just stringing this out and coursing nothing but misery.

@ashroskell That’s very true.Here in the UK there are apparently more Russian spies than there ever were in the history of the Cold War.😞

@parabalani It’s sad but very true. I feel like many younger politicians and citizens don’t seem to realise that. I believe now instead of being a careful balancing act of peace, we are more like balancing on fragile sticks that are going to snap at any minute. War is a natural state for humans as it is a natural balance for our population growth. If a species was as smart as we are but also didn’t want to fight itself no matter what, we would’ve worked out all life on this planet a Long time ago through over population. It’s sad beyond belief, but no matter how you look at it, was a natural state for us as not only does it relieve tension within our systems, it allows for new groups to be formed and diversity to continue, much like any other animal. Not to mention controlling populations and allowing new ideas and technology to move forward. I know it’s easy for me to see this as I’m not on the receiving end of a weapon, but it doesn’t change what I’m saying is right. Perhaps in the end, this fight really does need to happen, and if other nations get drawn into it, including China someday soon, then so be it. Better to do it now than in 10 or 20 years when we are having to deal with the long-term effects of climate change at the same time. If it happens then then we will be having to deal with resource depletion at the same time.

@Yuri_Rus War isn’t normal for the individual, but it is normal for the collective species as a whole.When you think of humanity as a loose and colony, it very much is normal. We’ve just been stretching out our current state of our society out for too long. What we’ve had has been good for many people in some parts of the world, but now that is starting to come to an end. Some things will fall and other things will rise. Ethnic groups will be shaken up for better or for worse and even possibly LGBTQ rights could be thrown out the window or improve in other nations. There is a difference after all between tolerance and acceptance, before we know a lot that has been built over the last few decades could be gone within a matter of years. China hopefully will go down a bit, Russia can maybe become a true democracy, America will get a kick up the backside, reduces population and become a socialist democracy instead of a total capitalist democracy. Let alone all the other small nations that will collapse and others will be absorbed back into larger groups again. All of this is very scary, I understand that, but it’s just The way life works. The sooner we can accept that the sooner we can get it done and over with.

Bloody hell this just went from low to high in a matter of hours.Remember it was only a few days ago we were mentioning that Ukraine and Russia had gone to the negotiation table and things might have died down a little. Now it looks like things are right back where we started. It’s sad, but I feel like fighting needs to start now whether we like it or not. This tedious and never-ending Lee fragile ceasefire was doing nothing but home now rather than good. Sure, people are not dead, but it’s not worth it if people are always living in fear of what is going to happen next. It really is unfortunately human nature. It’s better to get it done and over with and try and deal with the consequences afterwards, no matter which side wins. It’s sad, and people can call me short minded for saying this, but we can’t deny the facts of the past. Peace is never permanent, so it’s best to sort this out now rather than trying to stretch something out and trying to do it ourselves into believing something that isn’t really there. All I know for sure, is that if Russia truly does invade Ukraine, we (the UK and allies) cannot shy away this time from getting involved. The Russian government (not the Russian people) under the skin at its heart, has always been our enemy, whether it was during or after the Cold War. Its name may have changed, but the threat has always remained.
