It is ok to be neutral I guess. However, a friend of mine once said that if you do not do politics, politics are done to you. This is the same, you may not care much about Ruzzia taking a chunk of Ukraine, but next day you have a "protest" in your own country organised by the Kremlin to justify them sending "peace troops" or the like. When is international it affects all.

I agree with you, because the problem with Putler is that he has already done this in many countries, even other than Ukraine, whether through war or simply through soft power like in some African countries for example. It's hard for me to stay neutral about this, even from my selfish point of view I feel that the future of my continent depends on the outcome of this war. I'm not very old, and yet I've already been to several places that have since been devastated by the Ruzzians and their imperialism, WTF. Who's next?

If I am not mistaken, I believe the Kremlin may try to aim to Africa in the future, once whatever happens to Ukraine is done. It is not a coincidence there has been Warner operatives in Africa before and also the fact that after the recent African coups, many people in those countries denounced the influence of France while waving Russian flags in solidarity with Putin and the Kremlin.
While China seems to use loans and economical influence to bring countries to do their bidding, Russia prefers to act in the shadows and use their political and military influence to get developed countries in the sphere of their influence.

To me, international leave would not be possible as long as there is a big country (regardless whether it is Russia or UsA) which is willing to be against smaller ones for the sake of power and annexation of territory for themselves. Anyone could be next to fall for a loan trap or being forced to do the will of the super-power, otherwise in the detriment of their territorial integrity. Id wish this war would have never happen, it was completely unnecessary.
