Well,in truth, it is Russia's fault. If they hadn't sent their own missiles, then there'd have been no need for Ukraine to misfire one into their own hospital - if that is actually what has happened, and surely it's just as easy to suggest Russia's own missile was misdirected, and whilst Russia will be blamed for "deliberately " targeting innocent children, and the hypocrisy will be on a megaton level, I personally don't believe this.

There's should be no moral relativity here and the argument is of no interest to all those dead children and their families. There are now many tens of dead children as a result of a war between two combatant side, Russia and the West via Ukraine's proxy. All are guilty.

And this is why the futility of war is never more apparent, because rather than sane calls on our side that this violence must stop, all the rhetoric is bellicose and angry, and we commit ourselves to arm and fund Ukraine "AS LONG AS IT TAKES"

Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of Nato, said last month. “We must maintain this level of support as a minimum, and for as long as it takes.”

I want to scream when I hear this absurd and constantly repeated mantra. What the F.... does it mean, and why is this empty, hollow meaningless and actually incredibly dangerous phrase never challenged in the media by anyone? I mean, wouldn't it be simple to challenge anyone uttering this "Exactly what do you mean by "as long as it takes" what is the end point you must be referring to - the last standing Ukrainian, defeat, stalemate, winning (and what does that mean) or WW3 and nuclear armageddon?" Society cannot function if logic itself is disregarded as a working principle.
