Moral arguments are used as tools of manipulation. They want people to 'feel' not to think. When people feel they do not/cannot think critically and all the while the media relentlessly heighten emotions with individual horror stories which support just one narrative. Not that I watch MSM but I have not heard one single report about the village shrine to young children killed in the civil war against the ethnic Russians or indeed reports of any other atrocities documented by Western Journalists: https://rumble.com/vwxmyf-donbass-anne-laure-bonnel.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2

Thank-you, Daniel for addressing the historical, geopolitical and moral illiteracy that dominates so much of the "thinking" on the Ukrainian war. A truly invaluable essay!
