You and I know the US is the world's biggest bully, breeding a society of bullies. There's a bully in every workplace and organization, and it's not solely men.

A female bully beat the shit out of me because her boyfriend mentioned something about me, and the psychological impacts haunted me. Yet, the beating didn't inspire me to become a bully, and I'm just as helpless as Scott.

The girl who beat me up was a victim of bullying and violence and reacted violently because she felt threatened, but we were immature teenagers, not governments.

I think about the Ukrainians who voted for Zelenskyy because he campaigned for peace, but instead, their civil war turned into a full-scale war with their neighbor.

Sometimes, I wonder how the Russian public feels about an enemy encroaching along its borders and meddling in its neighbor's politics. Perhaps, they feel threatened and cornered, expecting their government to protect them.

Anyone who knows Ukraine existed before 2022 knows the war wasn't unprovoked and Russians and Ukrainians are victims. US and Russian officials met dozens of times over the last decade, but maybe talking got Russia and Ukraine "into the situation in the first place."

Developing nations' nonaligned movement mimics the Cold War yet publicly declares the US is at fault because they view the US as the bully while we fantasize about putting other nations right.

Russia's aggression is inexcusable, but that doesn't mean the US is innocent. Yet, developing nations and everyone who condemned the war must be helpless, useful idiots who need another beating for believing the US instigated and refused to de-escalate this horror.

Whoops, I've freely spoken. Undoubtedly, the censorship police will attack and accuse me of spreading Russian propaganda to protect the empire that shits on them. Who knew something as arbitrary as a country would generate such strong emotions?

The war with China won't be any different, except the US will draft their grandkids.
