I obviously don't want any of this nonsense, however I personally believe that we deserve it. We failed to get along, now we must pay the price.

World peace is trivial and inevitable, yet we mess up all the time. Every single person subconsciously votes against world peace. Some votes may count more than others but ultimately it's not a tiny minority that wants to see conflict. It's absolutely everyone.

I've stopped believing all conspiracy theories that involve small groups of elites running the show. Sure, there is always going to be a handful of people at the top but this is true for everything. The elites may benefit disproportionately, however, they benefit precisely because the vast majority support them directly or indirectly. Sure, you can make some people a head shorter but the people that granted them power aren't gone.

For Russia the trail is pretty obvious. We buy Russian oil and directly support Putin. Even if you get rid of Putin, someone else will take his place because we still want to buy the oil after the war.
