The top priority for me in times of war is looking for signs that even in the midst of a bloody struggle for survival, there are signs that people are not letting go of their humanity.
If we let these people down, then we leave them to a fate of base animal instinct - we're condemning them to an existence no better than what any given asshole authoritarian decides for them.
Mr Putin has chosen the way of death. And while the world has to figure out how best to accommodate him in that regard, we also have to make sure it doesn't all degrade into nothing more than a lust for blood and vengeance.
