    War news whether it is released by the Ukraine
    or Russia has to be regarded as Propaganda
    simply because the Press is censured in both
    countries.

    Keep in mind that the first casualty of war is the truth
    and that (from a neutral point of view) applies equally to both sides
    and their respective backers.

    As an Aussie, my chief concern re this war is that:
    (a) it has caused Aus inflation (via a spike in energy costs)
    which has crueled working class Aussies with highly geared mortgages
    (b) It has diverted much needed funds away from social housing/homelessness.

    So for those reasons, the sooner this war is settled, the better for Aus generally
    and working class Aussies specifically

    If you choose to not put Aus economic interests first, then that's your prerogative
    but don't criticise Aussies who do so . Capitalism is based on self interest, mate.
