Absolutely agree with inaction is on the side of injustice. Thank you for your input, I learned a couple of things I didn't know about. Was just curious, and hope I didn't come off as leaning in favor of anything. lol

If I came off as at all hostile, I do apologize. There's a lot of... disingenuous discourse going around about the war, unfortunately, and it sets me on edge.

We live in weird times.

You might find this article on the Crimean incident interesting, dates to 2014.

No worries, I didn't take it that way at all. I, really, do appreciate the insight and resource!

If you're interested in learning more about the history of Ukraine leading up to the current war, this video by Adam Something does a fantastic job summarizing the situation.
