Social media has been buzzing this week trying to paint the picture of a hero (Zelensky) and a villain (Putin), setting aside the most important and most expedient matter: getting the incursion to end!
Humans lack the capacity to learn. Let’s send weapons to Ukraine now, and 10 years later, it will be Ukraine attacking some other country with those same weapons.
Yes, we all know or partly know who started this war in Ukraine. It was Putin and even if he says he had good reasons, they should all have remained at the negotiations table. There is no reason good enough for this kind of bloodshed AND that does not apply solely to Russia. No country or organisation should head down this road…
Unfortunately, there is NOBODY out there thinking this through. Sanctioning & isolating Russia will not lead to an uprising or the ousting of Putin. in fact, the outcome will be the opposite. Russians who are presently unhappy with this war, will change their mind if we crash their economy and their children begin to starve. THE ONLY ANSWER is to try to get everyone back to the discussion table to try to figure this thing out, and in the meantime, get Putin to pause the unnecessary conflict and bloodshed
