palordrolap,

Are you somehow closer to the truth, or are you, like the rest of us, getting news from various sources and making your own mind up?

Because if so, my ad hominem kind of applies to all of us internet forum idiots and armchair politicians. Those of us without obvious declarations in our profiles could be argued to be the stealth ones, trying to swing people this way and that with who knows what agenda.

Why do we reach the conclusions we do anyway? Do we stand to gain anything?

At least in your case, it seems more obvious why you do, wearing your colours on your sleeve (metaphorically speaking) as you do.

If you would like an inkling of why I think the way I do: I'm never in favour of it when a larger power goes in, guns blazing, to override a smaller one, like there's literally no other way. And they always, always go too far, refuse to back down, and a huge number of people die senselessly because some ideologue thinks that a lesson needs to be taught. (Curiously, the ideologues themselves tend to be a long, long way from the bullets.)

It's happened in history so many times. My own damn country has been the aggressor. It wasn't right then, and it's not right when it's done now.

Please note that you literally cannot tell which conflict I'm talking about here. There's at least three.
