@cctv5348 I do have to throw in one point regarding democracy. Democracy does mean that a majority (say 52%) has a mandate to enact their policy. It doesn't mean that the other 48% will stop being concerned by the things that concerned them before the election Successful democratic governments don't just play to their supporters - where practical they also reassure their opponents that their worst fears aren't being ignored. Just talking to one side tends to escalate in an unpleasant manner

@Andygb78 The Nazis were socialists in the same way that Stalin believed in community!

@blkhistorydecoded For what it's worth, I have a friend in Kiev, or rather he was, as he and his family have evacuated west. If Russia is just after a few separatists, they are making a lethal mess while doing so ☹
