But in the end we are with billions of people, we do have a say if we just unite.

But every 4 to 8 years we self absolve ourselves of those evil leaders by voting a new one in.

I'll say it again.
Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is responsible. Not the United State of America.
And Putin would have his ass kicked if we got involved. Period.

This so called war is pointless, why do we as the people of the world let this happen?
"We the people" don't let anything happen. I mean we do, but not on purpose. We're commodities who are useful as a means to an end, the bricks laid in "their" road to innovation and revolution. This war is another road in their map that no one voted for, but we will invest countless tax payer dollars for their success because that's what our representatives consented to.

Fat chance.
Using the US... Around 50% of eligible voters turn up on a good day for presidential elections, and exponentially less for state and local.
Out of that 50%, how many actually keep up with current events past headlines? How many of them read differing sources, especially that of ideologies they disagree with. How many only consume mainstream outlets?
Then look at countries where internet isn't as available or its outright censored.
People will fight with their neighbor over trivial differences before they'd team up with them against corrupt leaders. Every leader has a large base drinking their Kool aid.
We may be in the biggest information Renaissance in human history, but most don't even take advantage of it.
I think that the Ukraine government heads that are pointing the war crimes finger at Russia have done more bad things to the citizens of their country than Russia has.

After the coup in 2014, the Russian-speaking part of the population was attacked by Ukrainian nationalists.
Well Dutch natives got attacked above the Donbass , resulting in every one on that plane died.
BUK schrapnel with russian ID numbers was found inside the victims.
Why should i care about people in donbass when they did not gave a damm about dutch citizens left to rot in a field ?

You know, if I said what I know for sure and if I was ready to defend the truth with my life, people would immediately look for a more reliable source of information. The problem is that we do not trust each other but what is being staged for us, what the newspapers say on television or some other media is accepted as a reliable source.
