And that's where the hypocricy card comes into play. Both sides know how convenient it is and they use it whenever necessary. And that's a problem. If you think it isn't - go and tell that to the casualties.
Why worry about something you have no control over.

That is correct, sir. The statement is applicable to many things in life, as you can imagine. No need to specify, for they are obvious to whoever thinks of them. People who give over to worry and doubt will continue to act in destructive ways.

Why do you even care what I have to say? You can't control how I am going to react to your comments. You shouldn't waste your time on it sir. I'm a lost cause.

Ah lol

I side with the people of Ukraine. They wanted the guys in power out and they got it. I don't think ANY country should get involved. Just one man's opinion.

I don't think anybody disagrees with that. The problem is that the reality of the political landscape doesn't allow that because it jeopardizes the positions of the countries who hold key positions in that landscape.
