Russia and Ukraine

[Leonardo17]

But since you have said you would rather go through a nuclear war than live in "Orwellian" China, I don't believe you see things clearly at all. 

Not that Bel would know the first thing about fighting for one's convictions.

The depth of some issues are sometimes not fully understood. In the case of an oppressive government, people may be tempted to “Let it go” for now. But societies who do it that way are paying a huge price in the long run. Even if you “make it” on some individual level (Like the Afghans in Europe and in the US) you are still a man or woman without a country and if you are a sensitive person you still end up like the Iranian Journalist Masih Alinejad or the Belarussian exiled politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya trying to do something for you country from a foreign country while execution teams are being set on you and being intercepted by the LAPD (as it happened with Masih Alinejad in the end of January.

+ Many Ukranians (mostly women) who fled the Poland or Germany are saying that they have this “feeling of guilt” because they chose to secure the lives of their children instead of staying back home and resisting the Russians.

So “Viva Zapata!” on that
