I’ve never thought I would be ambivalent towards a war.

But here we are.

Living in Asia there is definitely not the staunch apposition to the war that you might expect to see.

People here don’t like it but are not lockstep on Ukraines side.

And as a so called and derided “red pilled” guy I’m not going to jump to any conclusions for the next year or so.

We’ve all been seen the ultimate truth and aims and outcomes of the last half dozen wars involving the USA.

Once you live abroad for a significant amount of time you tend to take off the rah rah USA rose colored glasses and see the world from the point of view of other peoples.

A very annoying thing about the news and SJW social media is everyone jumping on the Ukraine bandwagon with nary a thought as to why what is happening… is happening.
