When seeing your comment about people learning to hate, i am reminded of a Rick Atkinson book, "Army at Dawn". US troops arrived in North Africa, poorly trained sometimes never having fired a weapon. As they went to war, they had heavy losses until they learned to hate. Once fueled by that emotion and a bit of OJT, they became soldiers quite capable and fierce in their battles. War obviously is the ultimate of hate which affects people forever. I suspect it is not a good thing for Russia.

We can hope Zelensky won't make a bad deal. It is an awful trade given Russia's tactics.

When Sherman invaded the South, his forces invariably stole food from civilians, and burned their fields and houses, leaving them destitute and starving. The trouble was, was that they didn't have rat poison. Perhaps the judicious use of that or other things as a food additive might discourage the Russians from that sort of plunder.
