Can I point out something relevant to this thread? Pretending this Ukraine war has no moral implications and is simply a matter of a piece on the chessboard between major powers is completely absurd. There's no coherent justification for that view. Those who hold a viewpoint that exists in the middle are moral cowards.
And calling them cowards is being diplomatic.
That is exactly what it is. You applying moralism to a field that is fundamentally amoral by default is the problem. There are also problems with morals, it is all a matter of perspective. Not long ago Ukrainians were killing innocent Iraqis 3000km away, their deaths today is just god playing a game of irony. (this is a whataboutism joke, unless that wasn´t clear for the 50 iq monkies)

Haye bro, haven't spoken to you for a while, thanks for the update on the Ukraine side. I am monitoring everyday on the Eastern front, the tensions are heating up day by day.
We have the recent spy plane incident 2 days back in South China Sea, the defense ministry from China will not meet up with Austin in Singapore during Shangri La security summit.
And it looks as if the KMT in Taiwan is having some internal problems and might lose to the DPP in the next Taiwan elections.
The next potential Taiwan President is trying to declare Taiwan Independence and things might just escalate.
Hang seng is getting shoveled.. There is a few other interesting pieces of news
-Gerans are being used far more abundantly, and they have improved tracking/motion control
-Re-deployment of akhmat stormers that have been AFK for like 11 months
-Movement around marinka and bilohorivka
I dont expect any big maneuvers though, seems more like slow forward grind and steady digging in.

The idea that we as people cannot determine morality in a conflict between nations is laughable, particularly in a situation as clear cut as the Ukraine war. Russia invaded without just cause, therefore the Ukrainians are just in repelling them. It's not complicated.
Without cause in your eyes. The real cause was to avenge the dead iraqis that ukranians killed between 2003-2011.
Also you don´t have to morally agree with something to understand why it happens, to say "invaded without cause", is like saying your mother got pregnant without cause. Sure from our perspective, it would´ve been preferable if you weren´t born, and your mother probably equivalently terrible as your downsy writings
