To the "neither" folks, remember that in an unbalanced relationship (and last time I checked, Russia is a tad more resourceful than Ukraine, especially militarily; and that Russia initiated the conflict) alleged neutrality equates to siding with the strongest/oppressor side, in this case Putin.
Either have the balls to admit you support a genocide, or avoid playing a card that not even Switzerland, that played that card for centuries, is considering appropriate for this situation.

@Elessar What should people who don’t know enough about the situation to commit one way or the other say ? I suspect that’s where some of the "neithers" reside.

@bijouxbroussard We live in the information era, it takes less than one minute of anyone's time to find videos of hospitals, schools, malls and houses getting bombed - civilians being targeted, and not even women or children getting spared. One doesn't have to be an expert in diplomacy, military or geopolitics to figure out who's the aggressor here and who's the weak part.
It's just that a lot of people, for a reason or another, are perfectly fine with what's happening, and hide behind "neutrality".

@Elessar I understand, but not knowing doesn’t automatically mean they support genocide.

@bijouxbroussard I don't think it's even a matter of "not knowing" in the first place; but besides, it's the political equivalent of witnessing a murder and not doing anything because they claim they don't know what are the reasons of the murderer.

@Elessar With whom are you more annoyed, the people who are saying "neither" or the ones saying "Russia" ?

@bijouxbroussard Both, honestly.
