There are 8 billion of us on the planet. Face it, in the grand scheme, life is cheap. Unless you're profoundly useful to someone, that is.
Sorry for my nihilism, but we've just watched Zelensky and Biden throw away half a million Ukrainian lives in a failed attempt to weaken Russia in a mere 18 months or so. Each of them had families and loved ones, but to all of us, they're a statistic. And no one seems to value the tens of thousands of Russian young men who have gone back to their villages in flag-draped boxes either. Their lives were sold cheaply, just as the ones in Israel are. That's the game being played here. The power and control matters more.
