If you want to get political; why just virtue-signal? ONE WAY?

I've said it earlier this week and I'll say it again... These people are fearing for their lives, their loved ones, their homes and their country. If you're more concerned with "politics in the Lounge" than the well-being of your fellow CP'ians, you lack empathy. There's little we can do, but at least 0x01AA is asking these members how they are doing and letting them know he's thinking about them. It may just be what keeps these people going, because they know the world is cheering for them (well, except for you and some other members apparently, because how dare they get political in the Lounge). Not everything is about politics, sometimes it's just about caring for your fellow human beings and not wanting them to die. I've said this twice now this week, I guess programmers really are a bunch of anti-social cynics X|

They should, because the government made them targets. Civilians fighting a war, means they no longer civilians but targets.

Big words. Yet, it was silent when there were no WMD's in Iraq.

Putin made them targets and no one else, but this discussion is a political one so let's keep it at that.

Times have changed, people have changed, society has changed. The USA invading Iraq now would probably cause the same kind of reaction, but I guess we won't know until something like that happens again. Maybe it's because (social) media is dominated by western people and Ukraine is a western country while Iraq isn't. Whatever the case, it's no reason to not support our Ukrainian members right now. Especially when one posts about his situation in person. To me, the only acceptable reaction to any CP member posting "I might die any moment now, but I just wanted to let you know I'm still alive." is a reaction of support: "stay strong", "we're thinking about you", "let's hope it'll stop soon" or even "thoughts and prayers". Going out of your way to tell them their misery somehow bothers you is not an acceptable reaction.

We don't lack empathy, Sander. I don't lack empath, Sander. Speaking for myself only here, I don't need to be reminded 20 times a day, every day, how sad the situation is with Ukraine; it's too much. I have people on my team who are from the Ukraine, and I have been dealing with them personally during these difficult times for them. So don't preach to me about empathy. Get off your high horse, and stop preaching your holier than thou crap.

All I'm seeing is a CP member who needs support from this community, but isn't getting it because people heard enough about his misery (you, specifically) and there's a no politics in the Lounge rule. Not only is he not getting support, he's made to feel unwelcome. Poor guy even apologized for letting us know he's still alive. Arthur isn't spamming it, he isn't out for a political discussion and he's made significant contributions to this site over the years. So, how difficult is it to say something nice like "Good luck, hope it gets better soon!" or even not say anything at all?

According to the current statistics, already 1M of Ukrainians or about that, abandoned their homes and crossed the border with the neighboring countries on the west to escape the military conflict area. And nobody knows what comes next. :rose:

Hello Arthur The news is unbearable and the situation is unbearable and very depressing. At least a very small glimmer of hope is that the majority of European countries are taking in refugees from Ukraine without any bureaucracy. I also feel people's willingness to accept people from Ukraine unconditionally. Kind regards Bruno

Thank you so much. I'm nice to hear from you that Canadians would unconditionally be taking the refugees from Ukraine, as well. :rose:

I'm very sorry, but I didn't know where are you living. As far as I can understand, the CodeProject is located in Toronto, Canada, so I thought that you are from Canada, too. I'm apologizing for it!!! :rose:

JFYI: The Medium Staff platform has launched a publications channel, called Views Into War, focused on the war in Ukraine. Nicely organized articles, providing an ability to listen to the audio instead of reading it: Here's the link: https://medium.com/@MediumStaff/views-into-war-88c43fde4a2a[^] To do that, just toggle on the green play button on the top.

Also, the first and second Ukrainian-Russian negotiation meetings, held in Minsk, Belorussia, aiming to stop the Russian military invasion, had no effect on the war situation, still. And, I'm very upset that the conflict won't come to its end, finally. :rose: Thus, the only that must have been done by all of us is to wait and believe that the war will end, anyway and whatever it takes.
