Support the fight for freedom in Ukraine OR, freedom from being killed, injured, maimed or suffering from radiation sickness?

Is it really worth all the deaths, maiming, possible nuclear radiation and the flattening of towns and cities to be officially part of NATO and the EU?

The UK is out of the EU but Ukraine wants in - to spite Pariah Putrid.  Yet, our expansion eastwards right up to Russia's border, our wish to dominate as much of the world, for the best of all possible reasons, has gone on for centuries.

Centuries of exploration, of stealing resources and whole peoples for 300 years of slavery.  Colonialism on a massive scale by us Brits.  The scramble for Africa by European empires did not set a good example to Russia.

The welcoming of the former Soviet satellite states into the Western fold has been intensely provocative for Russian nationalists like Putrid who, understandably I think, wanted it stopped.  The Feb 2014 Western Revolution of Dignity was the last straw for Putrid.  Then, eight years of war with no talks, nothing being done to end it, led to the full-scale invasion of Feb 2022.  No efforts to understand, empathise or even to sympathise or, to make concessions - like no more NATO exercises in the former Soviet states; nukes to be taken out of the former USSR states; and no more former Soviet states becoming part of NATO.

Any concessions, any compromise, any restraint by our side was seen as appeasement.  We would be seen as ignominious "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."  How absolutely pathetic as we all go down with the killing of people like my family and me by the truly evil men and women of violence on both/all sides.

Mutual suicide is what it amounts to, I think, like the ecocidal consumption and growth of 250 years from the greedy, unthinking exploitation of finite fossil fuels for all their worth.  Plus, the unfortunate deadly consequence from changing, disastrously, the chemical composition of the atmosphere to change the climates of the world for the worse.

WE CALL ALL THIS FREEDOM - and it really does mean that we all end up dying.  Stupid, foolish humanity finding ourselves outlived by the dinosaurs by many millions of years!
