analysis World War III

[oldtimer]

I believe that President Biden was right when he said that Russia is going to Invade Ukraine.

Any intelligent person is going to come to the same conclusion knowing that Russia has already decided to pay any price imposed on it by the West through sanctions.

Short of full military confrontation by the West there is nothing that can make Russia to change its mind as they see this as a golden opportunity to resurrect the once powerful superpower that was equal to the USA.

But Russia’s ambitions are not going to stop with taking over Ukraine since it already has made plans to increase its sphere of influence to Asia, Middle East, and South America and perhaps the whole World knowing that the West is most likely not going to do anything beyond just imposing sanctions which ultimately will hurt the West itself by effecting the Global economy in an adverse way the longer that they go on.

I personally don’t like any of the old ideologies, philosophies, and doctrines of Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Religious Fundamentalism and all the other “ism” that are derived from the bad human characteristics of Greed, Lust, Hate, Cruelty, Jealousy, Prejudice, and lack of Empathy and that have been infringing on our rights in one way or another throughout the history because they can only exist through supporting inequality, oppression, suppression, torture, killing, and War.

When it comes to saving the World the last thing that I want to see is the further expansion of these old systems that have all already proven to be a failure in dealing with the existential problems that are currently facing Humanity and the Environment.

We don’t want all these political, Religious, and Racial parties and groups to resurrect their past, we want something new that can propel the World into the next Era that is based on the Universal Principles and Values that have been derived through Logic and Compassion and not through Force and Violence.

By “We” I mean all the Intelligent, Righteous, and Peace loving people of the World.

The last of the resistance forces is still holding out in Mariupol, but as the City is razed to the ground by the Russian missiles it is inevitable that Mariupol is going to fall in the next couple of days.

After having so many casualties amongst its forces it appears that Russia is now employing a new strategy of using missiles to attack Ukrainian Cities from a distance.

This gives Russia an advantage since most of the help that Ukraine has been given by the west are in the form of anti tank and anti aircraft weapons that can only be used in short distances.

Depending on how many missiles Russia has in stock (or that can acquire from others) it can continue with these attacks until Ukraine is subdued which absent direct military intervention by the West will probably take another two or three more weeks.

Bravery alone is not enough when facing a much more powerful adversary like Russia.

If you were Ukrainian you would be asking the West the same question that is on the mind of everyone who is fighting the Russians right now which is:

You have the power to save us so why are you allowing the Russians to continue killing our children.

On this Easter Monday, we also ought to recognize the significant steps in recent human evolution, ie. formal Papal apology to First Nations for abuses of Indigenous children.

In Canada, more than 150,000 native children were forced to attend government-funded Christian schools from the 19th century until the 1970s, in an effort to isolate them from their families, their homes, language and culture in order to Christianise and assimilate First Nations into mainstream society.

Graves found at these schools are testiment to a dark time in Canadian history.

"For the deplorable conduct of those members of the Catholic Church, I ask forgiveness of the Lord." Pope Francis said, "I want to tell you from my heart, that I am greatly pained. And I unite myself with the Canadian bishops in apologising."

The Canadian government has also formally apologized and is working toward Reconciliation with First Nations, having recognized the right of indigenous self-government.

It sometimes takes hundreds of years but good will prevail...keep the faith

From what I have seen, Zelensky seems to feel that Ukraine can hold their own with Russia , and is still telling the civilian people to stay and fight.

No one is entering the War with Ukraine , Zelensky needs to get the civilians out now IMO

So what is the West going to do to keep the children from getting killed in Ukraine today.

The missiles are flying right now and you seem to be following your own political narrative that isn't helping anyone in Ukraine.

It's ukrainians bravery what is resisting to Putler's invasion and aggresssion. They are fighting for their democracy and for their freedom (and for the freedom of the rest of the world) against a tyrant.
So you should show a bit more respect for those people fighting and giving their lives for their country and for their freedom. Not everybody in this world is a coward willing to run and sell their country to the first tyrant and bully that wants to invade it.

It's Putler, who doesn't allow open corridors to let civilians exit the besieged cities. It's Putler who is bombing and killing people trying to flee war zones, like what happened at the Kramatorsk train station.

Weren’t those Catholicism schools ? For the record

For the record, several Christian denominations (Catholic, United, Anglican, Presbyterian) and Canadian government are and have admitted responsibility for the neglect, abuses and cultural genocide.

Yes bombs are flying, I understand that. I am not promoting a political agenda, nor talking about sugar ants.

It is a recognizition of a VERY historic event on this HOLY day, and that differences can be settled in peace and people can enjoy a sense of their own cultural identity. IMO

Giving support through words can only do so much good,

We have arrived at a point that without direct military intervention by the West Ukrainians are not going to be able to hold out much longer despite all their bravery specially now that all their cities are getting hit by Russian missiles from far away.

IMO

I just spoke with a neighbor from Kramatorsk, who said that several rocket attacks were launched on Kramatorsk that night, as a result of which 60 people suffered. the data is corrected.

Now I am looking for volunteers who could bring two disabled people from Kramatorsk who cannot leave and who have no relatives to help them...

Ukrainians have already showed and proved that they can hold and win against the russian aggression if the West just gives them the weaponry they need to fight. Zelensky is asking for it everyday. Tanks, anti-aircraft missile systems, aircrafts. They are not asking the West for direct military intervention in Ukraine, they are asking for the minimum weaponry to counter-attack and win against Putin's aggression.

That's quite a big storm that sunk it:-

Well now that the Russians apparently have changed their strategy and are hitting the Ukrainian cities by missiles from a distance what good are those weapons that you mentioned are going to do.

IMO

Well now that the Russians apparently have changed their strategy and are hitting the Ukrainian cities by missiles from a distance what good are those weapons that you mentioned are going to do.

Russians have been hitting Ukrainian cities with long-range missiles from the start of the aggression. That's what Putler's really likes to do, hitting from long distance and kill as many civilians as possible.
Putler has killed thousands of innocent ukrainian civilians till now, and the number would be much higher if civilians had not been hiding in shelters.

The weapons I mentioned are the weapons Zelensky and Ukraine army are asking from day 1 of this aggression. And with those weapons, Putler would lose the war.

Putler, in case that you haven't noticed, is specifically targeting and killing civilians. Why on earth he is besieging big cities like Mariupol, while cutting off water, food, energy, gas and medicine supplies, and bombing them day and night?

Why on earth Putler is bombing civilian open corridors each time they are opened, killing hundreds of civilians wanting to flee each time? Why on earth Putler is bombing a railway station plenty of women and children wanting to flee the war zone? Because Putler is a mass murderer and wants to kill as many civilians as possible. And he has been doing that since day 2 of the invasion, since he realized that he would not invade Ukraine in 1 day.

 

[.X.]

I am thinking because the US and some EU are supplying Ukraine weaponry, China just might supply Russia weaponry, I don’t think China cares what people think , most countries get most EVERYTHING from China , countries putting all their eggs in one basket like the US , relying on China to supply most everything , may turn out to be the biggest mistake ever made IMO

True, but it seems to me that the new Russian commander is now focusing all its efforts on missiles attacks and expanding them to cover all the Ukrainian cities.

The Russians are not putting their tanks and vehicles within striking distance of the Ukrainian forces anymore and after losing their flagship they probably are keeping their ships at a distance too.

So in a way this a new form of War that gives Russia the advantage depending on how many missiles they have in stock or that they can acquire from others.

I suppose some people just don't like GOOD news. There is hope, but no trust. IMO
