War historians gush about tactics and manoeuvres etc., and we all read about it and some enjoy watching war films, but is there anything fanciful about war?
As Russia pummel Ukraine and the west send in weapons to help Ukraine defend itself, the minute this conflict turns to Ukraine launching attacks on targets in Russia – even if justifiable as part of Ukraine’s effort to defend itself – supply of weapons to Ukraine will have to be reassessed or the world may risk kickstarting another world war!
These wars solve nothing.
We all need to appeal to ALL involved: Russia, Ukraine, the West etc., to PLEASE, PLEASE, bring this bloodshed to an end. This war is slowly heading in the direction of escalating into a world war. With the kind of weapons some of these countries now claim to possess, the loss of life on all sides will be truly awful. Yes, life is not indefinite and human beings appear not to give a sh*t about life anymore – with the daily stabbing on our streets etc, BUT the loss of life in this ongoing Russia – Ukraine war is so pointless. If those involved can just take a look at the faces of some of the helpless children being killed or displaced. The issues between Russia, Ukraine and the west, can be resolved to everyone’s relative advantage round a discussion table
This desperately needs deescalating NOW!!!!
Knowledge can improve the world we live in
