One comment:
I love my country. I don’t talk about war like it’s a game, or make fun of it when people are really burning, homes are collapsing, and lives are changed forever.
And then someone shows up, writes a few lines as if it were a forum discussion, not a matter of life and death. “What tomato plants?” “NATO is taking them down right now.” Easy to say if you haven’t lost anything yourself. Easy to laugh if you’ve never stood in ruins and looked into the void where home used to be.
I speak for myself. I feel what’s at stake. And when I say I have an opinion, it’s not just thrown around. It comes from the heart, blood, and bone.

If you would like me to add a counter-argument or dialogue in the form of comments (like on Facebook), or develop it further into a novel, just let me know!
And one reader:
The worst thing about this is that these so-called “protectors” thought it was a big polygon, where the houses were props and the people were actors brought in.
