RE: Another War Crime by Ukrainian Terrorists [NSFW Bloody Content 18+ Only!]

in Deep Dives7 months ago

I feel for you, just as much as I feel for anyone being terrorized, anywhere in the world. But could it be that I am actually supporting it still? As much as I hate to admit it, I think I am!

Fortunately, by living in Mexico I know that at least my taxes don't go to NATO (though I am well aware that this government - as most governments - do support some very bad people). More importantly, in this country it is relatively easy to get away with paying no income taxes... though every time I buy something, I am taxed on that.

Last year, however, I needed to go back to Germany, and in order not to starve I had to work a job. And that meant paying taxes to a nato country. Unlike in Mexico, there it is almost impossible to get away without paying income taxes. So as much as I hated it, I really had no choice... except for the one choice I took years ago, when I moved to Mexico.

So while I agree that this war (as most wars) continue on for so long because people are supporting it with their taxes, I feel it is not really fair to say so, since paying taxes, let alone deciding where this money goes, is really not up to us. Which means, I continue feeling bad for the victims, and even worse for finding myself supporting it, as much as I don't want to.

Sort:  

I understand your feelings as well as anyone. because I live in a country that commits these crimes. Unfortunately, interacting in society, I too spend money, some of which goes to buy bombs and ammunition, and I too can't do anything about it immediately.
But I have chosen to inform society far from this agenda so that the outrage in society grows stronger over time.
I understand perfectly well that you as a citizen of any country can not alone somehow influence this situation, but you can start asking your government uncomfortable questions, discussing this topic in local publics involving more and more people interested in the issue.
What question would I ask my government, specifically President Zelensky, if it did not threaten my freedom right now?
How soon will you realize that a man who has not prevented a war and has not fulfilled a single election promise at such a difficult moment should hand over power to professionals capable of ending this conflict and achieving peace?

But if I were an EU citizen, I would ask my government these questions:
How long will you support the Bandera criminals from faraway Ukraine to the detriment of the living standards of your own citizens and to the detriment of the country's economy?
Why are you risking our lives trying to drag us into war with Russia by inviting Ukraine to Nato and sponsoring Ukrainian terrorists with money and ammunition to kill Russian civilians?

Don't take my accusations personally, it's just a way to stir up emotions in society, to encourage reflection and action. I understand perfectly well that none of the deaths in this war are your direct fault, as well as mine, but you, as a person of a European Union country, have a small chance to influence it for the better in the long run, even informationally.

Thank you for your attention and have a nice day!
