We are almost all moralists to a certain extent.
When we see a child being beaten senseless, we respond, at least most of us do. There are a few with no center of morality who do not care. We call these people with extreme callowness, psychopaths.
When we see a smaller nation attacked ferociously by a much larger nation with images of civilians being targeted and children being torn apart by guided bombs, we experience revulsion and want to stop the barbarism.
The mechanics of stopping the barbarism is the ongoing historical problem. Does our act of charity cause more death and destruction? I am not a moralist, I am a pragmatist, guided more by practical considerations than by ideals.
Do the right thing, even if the stars fall. The right thing is to stop a madman from targeting innocent civilians and tearing limbs from children. Putin started this war, not the Ukrainians.
Now, we leave the mechanics to those who are paid large government salaries. Stop the slaughter of innocent civilians, children and babies.
I have little to no confidence that this Biden administration could stop a dog fight...which, perhaps, is why I am a pragmatist.
