Ok, fair enough. It was an emotional response to the Mariupol headline. It just pisses me off to read about this kind of colonial activity going on in 2023. Modern sensibilities probably don't reconcile with the sensibilities of 70 years ago when Germans in Central and Eastern Europe were forced to re-settle in Germany, or Japanese civilians in China were sent to Japan. I get that. But then I see Russians applying sensibilities from 300 years ago, and the sensibilities from 70 years ago seem more humane in comparison.
