War is Evil...a furry rant

Lifted from Quora ( from a response to a question about Russia complaining about the help being given to Ukraine)but my thoughts exactly-...
.....
War is evil.

Whether it’s Iraq or Ukraine or Ethiopia or Yemen or any of the other conflicts happening in the world right now.

If you’re going to start a war you better have a bloody good reason to do so - and if you start one for questionable reasons like “Ukraine isn’t a real country” or “NATO might put nuclear weapons in Ukraine one day” and your first reaction is to complain that the other side are too well armed?

Well I have two words for you - and they rhyme with duck and ewe.
..........
Now me..
I stand by my assertion that all the death and destruction involved in a war is wrong.
That all human life lost in a war is wrong.
This does not mean I wish Russia to succeed in Ukraine( which I have been accused of).
But even in war -and even if you are the side being attacked- you should never be comfortable with having to kill or be killed.Or with all the destruction around you.
And I will never change my view on that.
...
I fully expect to be criticised for posting this.
This is SW!

I agree that all war is evil.

But sometimes we are faced with choices between evils.

And Putin's war of aggression is clearly and by far the greater evil in this case.

@Thinkerbell yes ..and it should never have been allowed to happen.
But that is another argument.
Britain was a party to the same security guarantee as Russia.
I don't consider proving weapons AFTER allowing the invasion to be Britain keeping it's side of the bargain,
Stopping it happening ..that is providing security.
But I'm not going into what I think should have happened here.
I just wish Russia would make that mistake that would see NATO ending the war in days.

@Honko Saving Ukraine...? From being a functioning, habitable country with working towns and utilities, perhaps?

Saving the Ukrainians and Russians alike from understanding and tolerance; and from something (paedophilia) of which you accuse the former merely from sheer hatred of the whole lot of them?

Errr, not a Kremlin employee or one of Patriach Kiril's publicists, are you?

Though I suppose if you are, you'd know Russia does have hot Summers as well as long cold Winters. Still, I'm sure you'll be happy there.. Just remember to take your hat and gloves.
