Half a million dead - many forced into combat against their will, in a conflict that could have easily been avoided. It's hard to wrap my brain around it. Maybe the nihilists are right after all: life is just a pile of shit.
A war that is meaningless and a tragedy for the lives lost. A "success" for the Military Industrial Complex. Feeding the US/Nato delusion and greed to diminish and balkanise Russia. Rooted in their fear of Russia and China getting together with the Global South to get away from empire dominance. Fear of a better world.
AND the need to constantly feed the MIC, and in this case, the need of the US fracked gas industry to become profitable by knocking out Russian gas to Europe and replacing it with US exported LNG.

NO. The planet, the world, life, are still scintillating with beauty. And we may yet manage to rescue it from the sociopathic empire. Don't give up.
