I'm probably gonna take a lot of fire from potential right-wing or left-wing folks for this journal, but everyone's been talking about it, plus it's my right to speak of it, freely.

So I know that most of you are very well aware of the world today, with Russia's president going full tyrant-mode and launching an unprovoked invasion on Ukraine. I don't know the reasons as to why he's decided to launch a full-scale assault on the country, but for whatever reasons there may be, it's no excuse for the act of barbarism he's conducting on the people of the country. No doubt have civilians been killed in the ensuing bombings. Citizens of Ukraine are terrified without a doubt, and my heart goes out to them and to those who lost their loved ones.

I do not blame Russia entirely for this attack, I do not blame its people, as I am sure there are Russian citizens (and soldiers) who are strongly against this terrible action. Even though their voices are repressed by the government, understand that your voice can still be heard. It's Vladimir Putin who should be held responsible for this abhorrent act of war. This man has gained way too much power, and now it's gone to his head. He assaults Ukraine, putting the lives of civilians at risk, and now he hides behind his nuclear missiles in fear of other countries retaliating. For any government leader who hides behind the big red button is no leader at all, but a senseless coward.


On the other note...

I do apologize for my lack of posting artwork in recent days, I've been battling against depression as it had become a challenge in the recent days of work. My job really has been getting hectic, due to how heavily understaffed we are, but we should be making a positive change eventually... I hope.
