This "war" is about controlling oil and driving up its price. To make some very important people, very rich. That's all. And those "important people" are in Russia, the Ukraine, China and the USA. It's not rocket science. But it does take some time and knowing how far back it goes. Something you'll never get from your local news station. Also, the "casualties" are completely irrelevant to the benefactors of said oil issue. They don't care who gets hurt or killed and what sanctions are put in place towards their people. All they care about is their bank accounts. Until the World starts to understand this, it will go on.
You can get the thread closed by reporting it. Just posting that someone should close it generally doesn't work.
