It does. And you and I can't stop it. Unleashing the dogs of war won't save her and it will harm many others.

It’s part of the Western Colonialism playbook that has been used for centuries. White people Saving brown women from brown men ensures dehumanization of the people we oppress and never actually helps anyone. It’s racism 101.

It absolutely matters and the situation deserves to be treated like the humanitarian crisis that it is, but also the troops should l be withdrawn bc we don't need troops to respond to the humanitarian crisis.

all suffering matters. politcal gain should never be allowed to displace compassion, but so it seems to be with the order of things.

“I am sick and tired of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.”– William Tecumseh Sherman
