  1. As one that has studied war & history long before 2022, we are opposites. There are noble wars & evil wars as I'm sure you are getting first hand knowledge of now. In the past there have been the two mixed, but some were some ancient battles that were pretty clear cut between the two sides. In the most recent wars most have been highly polarized with some having the 'good guys hard to tell from the bad guys'. The common blame is old men making young men go to war or religion. But this is rarely the case in fact. Greed & perceived grievances being the most common. And many other causes being the case. There are new laws in russia that are starting to make some believe the russian aggression was actually started by greed. At first I didn't think so as most didn't because there just isn't that much wealth in Ukraine to do a land grab. But it turns out that there is enough to make individual oligarchs much more wealthy than they were before. I had assumed it was putin's search for empire & return to soviets lands. Which may be part of it. But wait for the scholars books to come out in years to come. It may have been about something completely different.
