I simply bring to the table the taboo discussions about why Putin exists, that nobody wants to have, rather than than beating the dead horse about how bad he is and pouring out my vodka.

It's also worth mentioning that the free and democratic government of Ukraine has barred all men from ages 14 to 60, I believe, from escaping the country. So if you are a civilian male and were a software developer a week ago and decide that you don't want to risk dying for this political non-sense, you can't opt-out.
