      Yes, very good, it applies to those as well. The continent selection in the example is a nice metaphor because there’s a physical border shared

        i do not think that russia should take over ukraine, but the war between russia and ukraine is different. 30 years ago they were the same country. there are many ukrainians in russia/russians in ukraine. there was a pro west coup in ukraine in 2014. it’s like war between pakistan and india

          They were not the same country 30 years ago. Ukraine even had its own vote in the UN.
