From the point of view of a sociopath, everything they do is completely rational.

The basic principle, enunciated in legend by certain sports figures, is "Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing."

Problem is war is not sports. In sports - losers get to play another game - go for a beer after the game. In war, losers lose their limbs, their eyes, and many their lives. And that's it. There is nothing after. You're fucking gone.

But the warpigs in DC treat it like a sport. Ukrainian human fodder to push their ideological faith in some kind of "freedom of democracy" that does not actually exist in the US.

This is a sad and very real problem which overflows into the populace. I have said similar words to people in regards to the "horrors of war" and loss of lives (and limbs as you say) and get a blank look! I can't understand it. I as I have gotten older, now feel pain and suffering from both the injustice and suffering done by others who I do not know but I think it is an inner connection to people and planet that makes me feel their pain? How anyone can just look the other way when someone is suffering or in the case of war just ho hum it while so many die! This is the very reason why I detest the filth that claim to be doing this for our/American interest and democracy. They are the worst sort of creature that should not be allowed on this planet.
