I agree. All the leaders on all sides should be leading the troops into battle. The young guys should be towards the back. Wars wouldn't last very long and they wouldn't get started unless absolutely neccessary.One thing I thought about this today, was that the younger soldiers on both sides were just kids, or even babies, when I was in high school. Meanwhile Putin has been around longer than any of us.
It's too bad younger people have to get caught up in other people's wars, about stuff that existed way before they even did. Also, the world is too connected for war anymore. What happens on one end of the globe, doesn't just stay there anymore, it affects everything. Either way, hopefully this ends soon.

I've got no problem fist fighting some ahole. But, killing people for someone else's cause because they tell me to do so? No way. But, when I was young and didn't know anything I was ready and prepared to do it. Young people are easily influenced and controlled.Yeah, it's like, when you're young, you're fighting for someone else's problem, instead of getting to choose your own destiny for yourself.
I look back in history and I don't think I could see myself fighting in most wars, since most seem like manipulation. WW2 is the only one I can think of that was existential, where if the Allies lost, the world would have been a much darker place. But for the most part, war just feels like it would be someone else's purpose instead of mine.

Well, the markets were quick to react. Expect even higher prices to come. People will start hoarding supplies again too. Our UK members are going to get hit hard at the market. Better get your iodine tablets while you still can.
I'm cowardly too, in many ways. It's tough to know what's worth sticking one's neck out for. Doesn't seem like it makes much of a difference anymore. I don't hate or dislike Russia, though. It's just a country like any other.I'm not sure what information you have but when Putin says the people are with him it's a Lie. It's something existing only in his mind.
We are not all narcissistic aggressive sociopath. Most of pepole are against the war (at least in the big cities). We don't want people to be killed. We feel a shame and a sorrow. A lot of people have the relatives, friends, co-workers in Ukraine.
But our goverment has an army and they do use it against us as well. Some of us(like me) are weak and intimidated and some spent this night in a cell because the went out to the streets with the posters "no war". 2-4 fully armed military's were taking one unarmed person wtih a piece of paper. Up to 4 trained soldiers for 1 unarmed woman. I wonder what this brave men tell their kids "I defend our Motherland from the very dangerous enemies: the girls with a paper"? I'm to cowardly for it, for going out with the posters and waiting when the policmen/soldiers will come and will beat unaramed peaceful people.
Anyway we will pay and are paying for all theese. Now we are the uncovered agressors, the other world hates and dislikes us. And probably we deserve it all for letting it so far for being passive and cowards, maybe 12 year ago it could be prevented. I've never voted for him and his gang. A lot of people have never voted for them. I should never have born a child here.
PS If I would think about the prices -I can go out of the window right now. I collected some money for some electronics(there is a lot of dust from the road, I wanted a cleaning deviсe) today it's 30% up. I still can afford it if I go today, but I don't know if there is any use of it anymore.
