This Is Why I Am Anti-War

WNU Editor: Just had an emotional phone call followed by a Facebook Messenger conversation with a Ukraine cousin that I lost contact with when the war first started. 

I learned that she and her family fled Kharkiv to the Kirovohrad Oblast when the war first started (her inlaws live there). 

Kirovohrad Oblast is in central Ukraine, west of the Dnipro river. 

My cousin is busy trying to find missing Ukrainian soldiers via through social media. Needless to say her list is long and heartbreaking. 

Behind every missing soldier there is a family worried sick. Desperate on finding any information on what has happened to their loved one. 

This war is hitting home right now.

Russia borrows $13billion in its largest ever debt issuance in a single day to continue funding war in Ukraine

sorry that's heartbreaking.. do you know if it's possible for Ukrainian men to leave the country -somehow-? (I guess it's not legal, or some penalty has to be paid)

No male eligible for the draft are allowed to leave the country.

Study: Far From a Democracy, the U.S. Is a Functional Oligarchy

So the USA is an oligarchy.

The USSR, excuse me Russia, is an oligarchy.

Both have to lie about democratic elections and have to tip the scales by enforcing an orthodoxy, practicing 2 minutes of hate, and other means.

To stay on top they have put their thumb on the scale economically and this creates inefficiencies and want.

They are just bound to go to war. It is necessary for their survival.

English Prof

A link was given that 'proved' the US was an oligarchy. Just because you would not lift a finger to learn multivariate analysis does not mean it is not true.

Let me badmouth you.

There is a saying "A little bit of knowledge is dangerous. That saying fits you like a glove.
At most you can conceive of is measurement of a single variable and think you understand the world.

Well hate to break it to you buddy, but most problems have more than one variable. So we have the term multi-variate.

Maybe you should get past the 3rd grade in mathematics and not need the accountant to hold your hand.
