Voted against discussing politics. Bubucha's lyrical poem and Alena's post suggest that our (supposedly intellectual) site lacks its own Makarovich, Akunin, or even Sobchak. Almost all site users, aged 20+ and 30+, have spent their entire conscious lives (since 15-18) under Putin's regime and its matrix. People don't hear arguments that don't fit into their worldview. I'll post the link to the article again, which clearly explains the war in Ukraine: http://hvylya.net/analytics/geopolitics/sem-urovney-voynyi-strategicheskaya-ramka-dlya-ukrainyi.html
