While I do not claim that Uwe should or should not delete his signature (my personal opinion is he need not delete it, but I am not 100% sure it doesn't conflict with this list's standards), I feel obliged to point out that the above opinion of Jean looks nonsensical. From what I know, Ukrainians do their best to _stop_ the war, and I find it probable that what they are doing is a _just war_ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_war_theory). An imperfect analogy. Imagine a serial killer shooting at unarmed kids in a school. Imagine someone may or may not provide a weapon to a guard who would then be able to kill the murderer. Would you call giving the guard a weapon "promoting continuance of further killing at that school"? I surely would not. I _would_ prefer disarming the killer in such a way that _he_ wasn't killed, obviously, but if that is not possible, I consider it morally acceptable to kill him.
