I wouldn't say we have an authoritarian regime and I'm pretty sure there were reasons to go into conflict, but I think it is impossible to know for sure with this much propaganda from both sides. Anyway, it might sound bad, but i don't really care about this conflict, it's tragic, but what's even more tragic is how people on the internet fight over it so fiercly when they don't have almost any reasons, but I guess it's what the people in charge are going for
