(20,582 posts)the horror of it, let alone hundreds of thousand - and yes, I agree with you - probably a million d/t sanctions and the direct and ongoing results of a bloody, horrific invasion. It's unthinkable for you and I and anyone who cares about humanity the world over ....... yet pooh pooh'd away by those who can't seem to place themselves in the shoes of all those whose lives have been completely ruined and are now left with extreme poverty, hopelessness, terror by religious fanatics, horrific deformity and disease and lives of squalor and destitution. Can you imagine accepting this in the west? It wouldn't be, and shouldn't be. Shame how little the lives of others some see as collateral damage and mistakes of the past are tried to be forgotten. The thing is, those 'mistakes' have families and generations of people who will grieve their loss and hate the cause of it, as well they should.
