This war makes me incredibly sad for a bunch of different reasons.
First, the tremendous toll on humanity war has.
Second, an oligarchy can still exist with the military might that Russia has.
Third, it's gotten so much playtime despite the worse humanitarian problems in Yemen and Syria.
Fourth, it's going to cause a famine ripple.
Fifth, it's contributing in a major way to pollution.
Sixth, Russia will need to be contained and conflict will likely escalate before it goes away. Europe should take a very large role in this; it's ultimately a European problem.
Putin swung a very small dick to try to back NATO off Russia's borders and his insignificant showing may have Russia in an even more precarious situation. Having two nuclear pariah states with significant landmass is going to be problematic in the future.
