this is exactly the problem. Russia did not just invaded Ukrainia out of 
nowhere. The story started in 2014 with the illegal coup d'etat against Viktor 
Yanukovych and its acceptance by the western countries. Or even earlier, with 
the eastern extension of the EU and the Nato, to get Ukriane on their side, 
stoping the political neutrality of Ukraine between Russia and the western.

As you see, it is not as simple. Should we start a discussion now? I do not 
think so. It would not help anybody. Wars or conflicts are never simple. 
Usually there's a long story.
Taking ones side in political conflicts will separate the community for sure.

Please do not start that.

You and anybody else can show their political position on twitter, facebook or 
elsewhere. We do not need to do that on php.net.
