War is NEVER a solution! Our hearts ache for Ukraine and the people affected by Russia’s invasion. Allies in all parts of the world are condemning the actions of Putin, for good reason. The cost of lives and environmental damage caused by war is unforgivable and unjustifiable. As a species attacking ourselves, deluded by our own minds, we’re destroying our planet. Innocent people will suffer at the hands of a world leader chasing past glory and power. #StandwithUkraine and send your ferocious fighting spirit to the innocent lives affected by the violent acts against humanity.

greenp Love this quote but I am curious about the context in which it was used in the first place. I saw on Google that it was from Tolstoi’s ‘What I Believe’ but I can find no such quote in this writing. Anyone has further information?Reply
veganadam I couldn't find it in What I Believe/My Religion either but it seems like there are a few translations. I saw someone said it was part of a poem?! Tolstoy also wrote an article called The First Step where he describes a visit to a slaughter house.Reply

romeoluv1 I was actually coming in here to talk about this. @abillion10 is there anything you can do for the animals/rescues/shelters/sanctuaries in Ukraine. Proper research needs to be done ofcourse to ensure credibility but there has to be something9 likesReply

sandra0206 Creo que también habría que levantar la voz para que EEUU, sus aliados y la OTAN deje de hostigar a Rusia. Que diría EEUU si Rusia le pone en sus fronteras bases militares??? Rusia invade o se defiende??? Les recomiendo interiorizarse en la historia del conflicto que no es de ahora, data de varios años atrás. 1 likeReply
mparramon Flipo cómo alguien pueda hablar de hostigar cuando Rusia está metiendo decenas de miles de soldados en Ucrania y matando población civil para tomar control del país. 3 likesReply
sandra0206 Pues, no flipes, solo hay que interiorizarse del motivo por el cual está sucediendo esto. Cualquiera reacciona si le están rodeando el territorio. Pensás que no es asunto de seguridad nacional para Rusia el hecho de que le pueda caer un misil en 5 minutos en Moscú si Ucrania entra a la OTAN? Acaso la OTAN no incumplió sistemáticamente el tratado que hizo con Gorbachov??? Reply
mparramon Vaya ridiculez. Estás utilizando un argumento artificial, ni tan siquiera el demente argumento de “neonazis drogadictos” de Putin se alinea con lo que dices. No entiendo como alguien puede estar en esta plataforma basada en la compasión animal y a la vez apoyar el asesinato premeditado de la población civil de un país como Rusia está haciendo con Ucrania. Si hasta los mismos soldados rusos están tirando la toalla cuando se enteran que van a matar! Suerte que ahora tenemos la opción de bloquear y reportar a usuarios aquí, no voy a permitir este tipo de retórica pro-guerra aquí. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦2 likesReply
sandra0206 Reporta todo lo que quieras. Si te parece que decir que Rusia se está defendiendo es apoyar la guerra, tienes un problema de comprensión de texto y también un gran desconocimiento sobre historia. Y tal vez, el que haya que reportar sea a ti por agresivo, violento y pretender acallar mi opinión, basada en hechos, simplemente por no coincidir con la tuya. Reply

ghostygoo Disappointing. This post is VERY misleading. The west clearly supported Syrian rebels so why aren't we fed the same narrative when Russia moves to support Luhansk rebels? You know who will suffer most? Petrol users and anyone who wants to heat their home next winter. Stop allowing mainstream media to stir up trouble. All war is offensive but Russians have as much right as anyone to protect their borders. Nato has reneged on its promise not to expand and Ukraine has violated the Minsk Treaty.1 likeReply
