When a country gives its soldiers uniform patches that signify their country being FIFTY TIMES its current size by including all or parts of eight neighboring countries including taking in many strategic positions in those countries, you might be being lied to when they chalk a bunch of military aggression to just "self defense."
This is a lens that you should not be able to unsee each and every time you hear some disingenuous excuse of like "we had to level the whole building to teach the family of the terrorist, who is not even in the building, a lesson." And "the last 'stronghold' that we MUST defeat via direct invasion" just HAPPENS to be the largest city (so they can demolish that too)
Use your eyes and minds to judge actions that result in massive death and destruction. Don't just pick a side based on an idea you think you heard and ignore the specific case. To do so, when lives are lost and residences are destroyed, is to lose your empathy and humanity.
