So you own a store and you had a commercial war with this other store. You bought some other smaller companies just to win that war: congrats you did, the other store downsizes. But you say well I’ll just keep my store alliance anyway. Then the other store says « okay, see, that feels threatening to me, can you maybe not buy the stores on my bloc» . You know the employees have been humiliated and the owner Bob is sensitive and proud, he has intense anger issues and collects guns, so you say sure and you formally agree not too. Then you start to buy stores in the bloc. It’s legal those stores can choose to join your alliance. So Bob starts to be on edge he tries to keep calm but he is traumatized and proud. At that point the store right next to his, half of who’s staff are relatives to the guy, starts talking with you about being bought out. The guy freaks out and gets agressive. Things settle down a bit, the neighbor store has internal conflict, but the manager of that store, Billy, officially promises he’s not going to join the alliance and going to respect Bob's relatives. So then Billy starts do do mean stuff, and forbid that the relatives speak their family's language, and humiliates them, then starts to start talking about an alliance again... and you encourage him! During all that time Bob saw you use actual violence on different blocs to get rid of owners you didn’t like, and even discovered that you use false evidence to justify it… So he finally gets into a fury, runs guns blazing into Billy’s store yelling stuff about his family and nazis, shooting at people. You bravely comme, and in apparently innocent manner, tell him to be reasonable and talk about it…he obviously just gets even more mad

So you go on the news and put it all on him…What’s true is: who can condone what he’s doing? But what else was going to happen America? Could you stop thinking you have such morale superiority that it makes all you’re means justified and your interests superior. Can you stop being so pretentious as you yield your power? Can you remember that prideful victors who humiliated the vanquished created the conditions to Hitler ascend? So yeah I hope Ukraine can resist but the West seriously needs to do better….Our nations need to stop to be pretentious and preachy, greedy bastards.

Not sure this is the place,I'm just pretty angry right now.
