I should have said dimensions instead of sides. I was not implying equality. But he loss of lives even to the production of war machines and their ultimate destruction is waste of the earth, of humanity and our collective time.
Even the effort spent on this conversation is a waste perpetrated by Putin, in no way should this statement be taken as an insult against you. That is not my intent. The waste of war is a cascading fractal.
Inexpensive autonomous weapons of war are here. The cost to kill for less than a $1 a soul is within everyone's reach.
The war in the Ukraine will have larger implications than WWI or the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The disagreement is with implying that both sides of war are equal.
While there are no saints, only one of them chose to start the waste (see also: Chechnya, Georgia)
