Appeal to Ruby Community from Kharkiv Rubyist
I'd simply like to point out that Western media has been deliberately obfuscating many aspects of this conflict.<p>a few salient examples: 
the 8+ year war in eastern Ukraine (14k dead, 30k wounded, 500k displaced)
the damming of Crimea's fresh water supply from the Dnieper (recently destroyed)
the violent seizure of state power by neo-nazis following maidan
the reincorporation of WW2 mass murderers into the national identity (postage stamps, statues, school books, parades)<p>I can only lament that in an increasingly interconnected modern world, wealthy globalists and oil barons can wield tech to collectively brainwash entire populations in their own living rooms: That sending weapons and mercenaries to foreign countries is noble and righteous. Strange how interfering in a nation's sovereignty and self-determination has become a hallmark of 'democratic' nations.<p>Apparently, we have forgotten the last 50+ years of conflicts.<p>I expect to be flagged.
