You have a valid point, however it's not always clear which side is "right" and 
which is "wrong", as in Ukraine, Russia just invaded Ukraine, without any right 
to do that.

And for certain conflicts only showing a flag could provocate some people.

I'd support this, if there will be added flags of all countries where armed 
conflicts are going on. There's a list on Wikipedia[1] were those are shown.
Otherwise the people in those areas are discriminated.

Do you have any numbers?

PHP's community is very diverse. Starting to support one party of the conflict 
will create separation of the community. And in future political conflicts PHP 
will have to take sides, too. Which leads to more separation.
Please don't start that now. Or we will get in trouble in the future.

Best regards
Christian
