Ok I'm just saying that within that I enjoy seeing the aggressor fuck up all the time.

Disclaimer: War is hell. I have had friends from both Russia and from Ukraine. I could cry for everyone involved in this war.

Now for what I think needs to be said: Very few people go to war thinking they are the bad guys. Most believe they are defending what is right.

Ukraine claims Russia invaded.

Russia claims Ukraine is an aggressive NATO outpost and that they have been invaded too many times not to see it coming.

NATO wants to avoid a powerful Russia that can invade Europe.

And so it goes in Ukraine.

In the South China Sea, it's the same story.

Taiwan wants to be left alone.

China wants to control the waters near its shore like the other great powers do.

The USA wants to help Taiwan, mostly to safeguard access to the world's best computers.

China sees US patrols near their coast as a continuations of 100 Years of Humiliation and of the Opium Wars.

The US does not care about what a private company from the UK did before any of our sailors or airmen were born.

It's the same story in the Middle East, and everywhere else that wars are fought.

We humans are a sorry lot.
