This is Putin's worst nightmare.

He illegally invaded Ukraine because he thought having a democratic and western aligned nation on his border was bad for his authoritarian autocratic regime. Now he's got Finland which is going to be a NATO member and it's a more democratic and independent nation, and its border with Russia is more than twice as long and than Russia's border with Ukraine.

Peace will have a chance when this doesn't happen: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/05/1121119558/israeli-army-says-a-soldier-likely-killed-a-palestinian-american-journalist

Peace will have a chance when Israeli settlers give back stolen land (as declared by the United Nations).

Peace will have a chance when Israeli citizens are good neighbors instead of kettling Palestinians into a ghetto state and then blaming them for the violence and poverty that the IDF forces on them.

The aggressor (Zionists) don't get to say peace is impossible and victim blame. Israel has every right to exist as a state that supports and uplifts Jews and Judaism, but they have no right to abuse others to maintain that state. No group, not religious, not ethnicity, not anything, has a right to that. Currently Israel is no better than Russia in regards to Palestinian rights. That can change, but it's on Israelis to fix their own mistakes.

I want my daughter (Jewish via her mother) to be able to look at at least one of her people's modern histories and see good. She's not getting it out of Iran, Lebanon, or Syria, so Israel better step the fuck up.

Yeah, we should stop pretending safety is our top priority. Safety is important, and people try to reduce risk, but in practice it almost always takes second place to doing what needs to be done.

Millions of people in the US drive to work everyday. ~100 of them die in vehicle accidents every day. Meanwhile ~5 people die a day at US workplaces (excluding vehicle accidents above and violence).

I think you need to look up the definition of hate speech and examples of it. It's not saying something that could be misunderstood. It's saying something extremely blatant, hateful and often calls for violence. I'm not going to give examples because I don't want to be banned!

Your worries about cancel culture are disproportionate. Those people who are supposedly cancelled are usually still in the public eye, still spouting their views freely, but play the victim. Perhaps therapy would help if it's giving you depression to get reassurance that the things you're no likely reading online are not in actual fact happening.

Those nukes were controlled officially by the CIS or in other words - the Russian state.

Also - Russia broke the following upon invasion:

"The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used."
