The idiots have done it. Again.
The Security Council is dead.
The peace movement is dead.
The spiral continues.
We haven’t figured it out.
Instead of focusing on peace, everyone is chasing bitcoins.
No Russian mother wants to send her son to the killing fields.
Men are generally incompetent politicians.
Nationalism, in every form, is madness.
Nobody wants to die.
Arms do not create peace.

ReplyDeleteWe thought history changed in early 1991 with the collapse of Soviet area/chapter .....and we thought it couldn't happen, impossible in 2022 and yet…......Unbelievable
ReplyDeleteA good observation on the failings of the international system. But Ukraine--after all, the victim-- with its own mourning mothers and dead fathers, sons, brothers, daughters, etc. seems oddly overlooked.
ReplyDeleteImagine there's no countries
ReplyDeleteIt isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
And all we are saying, is:
Give Peace a Chance
John Ono Lennon, 1970-71
Well said! All true, sadly.
ReplyDeleteYou might want also to watch China over this. In a BBC interview on Feb 23rd, just before the invasion started, a Chinese official was asked if China would support Russia if it invaded Ukraine ? The official said that they would. Immediately, the BBC interviewer asked if China was going to invade Taiwan knowing that if they support Russia over Ukraine, then Russia would support them over an invasion of Taiwan. . . . .

Thank Detlef ! The following quote comes to mind: "The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established. … Unification of the whole of mankind is the hall-mark of the stage which human society is now approaching. Unity of family, of tribe, of city-state, and nation have been successively attempted and fully established. World unity is the goal towards which a harassed humanity is striving. Nation-building has come to an end. The anarchy inherent in state sovereignty is moving towards a climax. A world, growing to maturity, must abandon this fetish, recognize the oneness and wholeness of human relationships, and establish once for all the machinery that can best incarnate this fundamental principle of its life." The Promise of World Peace, October 1985
