[members-discuss] Reply: Re: Reply: A request to terminate ENOG

To be understood, my uncle who is over 80 lives in Kiev. Any questions left?

Still I do see any connection between the war and ENOG. And I think, that Russia and Ukraine are not the only ENOG members.
Sure, let's destroy everything good left.

I would like to stipulate, that I deeply regret, that people are under attack at the moment, no matter if they are ENOG/RIPE or any other entity members. This should have never happened in 21 century, as we all thought we have learned harsh lessons of the WW II.

I seriously doubt that ENOG members support missile  attacks. In my humble opinion, it would not do any good, and apparently it would not stop attacks either.
