Outrage is a strong moral emotion characterized by a combination of surprise, disgust, and anger, usually in reaction to a grave personal offense. It comes from old French "ultrage", which in turn borrows from classical Latin "ultra", meaning "beyond". (links to references removed)

the title was to be "beyond outrage" but the word outrage has "beyond" already built in; so "outrage" it is.
i am outraged by the behaviour of RU and BY (RU vassal). i consider the actions of RU starting the war, and the barbaric way that RU and BY conduct their war unacceptable. a great pity that the populations of RU and BY will share the shame of the actions of their rulers and their military, and their own inaction, for generations.
i do not think that i can expect realistic appropriate consequences for RU and BY criminals for murder, rape, torture, theft, destruction, and lies, lies, lies!
clears up the "is there a god?" issue: putin still lives and breathes.
this is me venting - not a considered political text.
we either do what we can, or join the other sheep waiting for the knives!
so not much that i can really do, but i don't feel totally helpless (and i do know what that feels like).
after FR blew up a ship and Polynesia i took a similar stance; no french wine or goods for me for over 20 yrs. arbitrary number of years, but it seemed proportionate at the time that i started. i faxed the FR UK embassy at the time (yes faxes were a thing then). not much, but what i could do? interestingly there were political and legal consequences for those involved (not nearly enough imho):

anything said on this page does not condone or excuse past reprehensible actions by any government (we never have to look hard for injustice), or ruler (as Dennis said: "Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.").
