Same news half a year later: Trump is NOT interested in helping Ukraine. He WON'T give us any military help - on the contrary, he'll be pressing our country to capitulate and surrender to Russia.

Why? Because MAGA. The vision of 'greatness' of him and his supporters is ruined and miserable Europe.

Not only Ukraine, but whole Europe, at least all democratic European countries.
Ukraine stands between Russia and Central and Western Europe, and if it loses the war - Russia will continue to EU.

Then EU will be in ruins, and the USA will be 'great' the same way they were after WWII.
Everyone will be bringing them money as before. That's what American money bags want. Ethics, law, justice are irrelevant here.

THEY WANT MONEY, and Russia wants more land.
Current US government and establishment and Russian empire are BOTH pathological bloody maniacs. Each in their own way.

>Something I haven't seen anyone else mention

I have heard at least 2 popular bloggers/youtubers mentioning this fact (they are not English-speaking bloggers, so maybe that's the reason you didn't hear)

I tell you more, in Ukraine more and more voices, including high-rank officials (today's interview with commander Zaluzhny!) are raising in favour of the idea 'Ukraine should have nuclear weapons again'

And yes, this is absolutely terrifying.

That, and I have cut way back on YouTube due to its misbehavior. But I am delighted that people are talking about it!

It's terrifying, but I support it. I've been an activist my whole life. In the past, I favored doing away with everything nuclear because it is so dangerous -- especially with the increase in natural disasters. But now, I no longer feel justified in asking anyone to give up the only defense that forces other nations to show some respect.

Yes, this increases the chance that humanity will wipe itself out. But if so, that is their free will.

attention, it's free will of some parts of people on this planet, and I'm not sure the word 'humanity' is applicable to them.
Me as a humanist by the system of belief - I'm definitely against it, and by no means it's MY free will

Agreed.

Collective free will is different from individual free will though -- it builds up from the actions (or inactions) of people en masse. The future is made of choices, the way a river is made of raindrops.

I'm not in favor of climate change, but that doesn't exempt me from its impacts. All I can do is make my yard a refugium. I don't know if it will save any species, but I know that it is the kind of thing that can make a difference. That's better than nothing.

yes, exactly, we can make our own small steps that combine into something bigger and with impact :)

Some of the best leverage lies in shopping choices. For example, cows are the worst livestock for climate change. People typically have free choice what to buy that is edible for them, available, and in their budget. So choosing to buy less (or no) cow products would directly reduce the demand for cows. And what if everyone did that? Commercial farmers raise cattle for money, not because they love cattle. So they'd all go make money some other way. We'd be left with a much smaller and more sustainable amount of cattle, of which heritage breeds (which are largely raised by people who actually do love cows) would be a bigger proportion. This approach doesn't require any effort to convince stubborn governments to address survival issues, just alerting frustrated people about something they could personally do.

well I'm trying not to buy red meat or milk out of different reasons (because I know how intelligent and emotionally deep animals are), and although I don't see any reduction of meat or milk sales, I'm trying to continue. But I don't have enough money and health to be a complete vegetarian, so my input is even less than it could be. This is sort of a compromise.

Same way, I'm not going to serve in army in spite of many of my close friends are there. It's also sort of a compromise. But I'm trying to do small things for them and for the army - because small is better than nothing.

So, one way or another, we should continue to take small steps forward if we can't take big leaps. But every day.

I think many people simply cannot stop constantly living in present, that's why they can't see future, neither they can learn from the past. For someone, who can see how much progress we, human race, made through our history, believing in small steps forward is not so difficult
