sometime you have to cut your losses and do what needs to be done.

Fuck that. I don't have beef with Russia or China. I don't have beef with their individual soldiers either. Reddit keyboard warriors (not implying you specifically, /u/LeafBoy_420) get all excited about major conflicts, but guess what: in the event of a true Total War scenario, YOU are going to be the conscripted private pissing himself in an Eastern Ukranian field as MiG fighters drop bombs on you.

I don't want to kill anyone, I don't want to be killed. I'd rather "cut my losses" and let Russia do what it wants a world away, if I'm being truthful. For the ordinary folks, these things don't impact our lives one iota.
