I kinda want to live under a rock and not see the news every day. Kind of like how the war in Afghanistan and Iraq went. Or even now with Syria they had a civil war for 10+ years and I dont hear about it on the front page. I wish mainstream media was like r/worldnews where they have the Ukraine/Russia filter to remove it from your feeds. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/8/8/AAXQRuAADt3Q.png --- Hey now. ...

TheGoldenEel posted... 2006 account with 5 active posts trying to muddy the waters and both sides Russia invading a sovereign nation for no reason This isnt really a both sides thing. Western media like CNN, NBC, CBS, etc only cover the Ukraine politician's side. If you hear about the Russian it is rarely from their politicians. It is usually on the civilian or troop level.

BlueTigerLion posted... Which I get it is a war and the media may want to sway public opinion a certain way. I rather opt out and not care about their war. I care more about the rising prices at the Grocery store and when that will end.well at least your honest about being petty and only caring about yourself but sure how dare they fight for their lives and not give up and let the russians kill them so you don't suffer a bit compared to the horror they are going thru --- "You can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty." - Sacha Guitry (1885-1957) ...

I would compare it to the NHL Finals or whatever the US soccer league is called. The result doesnt effect me and wish I could filter out the news if Hockey or Soccer was on the front page every day. It isnt like reading the Ukraine/Russia news is going to provide me anything insightful on my life. Other than one side winning the war. Which based off the Syrian War could go on for 10+ years. And I dont hear anyone in this thread pushing for more Syrian news on the front page. --- Hey now. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If someone said America had no reason (which is often a non-literal phrase) for the War on Terror, you wouldn't be here typing up paragraphs of "well ackshually both sides" The war is over nothing.
