“The proles pay the price.”

That is certainly true, but Russia is illegally invading a sovereign nation on a scale we haven’t seen since the Nazis invaded Europe.

This deserves a bit more scrutiny at the moment. This isn’t equivalent to the Iraq War or Ireland. Those would be more closely related to the Soviet Afghan War than anything. An entirely different situation.

What we’re seeing is a country desperately fighting for survival against a vicious invader whose military force we’ve not seen the likes of put to bear in our lifetime.
