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.

IMO

putin had everything. he not only got away w/ the invasion of #Georgia & #Ukraine, war crimes in #Syria, severe domestic repressions etc - each time the West rewarded him w/ more business ties & dialogue. This impunity made him trust he can actually get away even w/ genocide

#Russia must pay a severe price for its atrocities against residents of #Mariupol and its barbaric destruction of the once peaceful port city.

We urge the international community to tighten sanctions on Russia and deepen its isolation.

(Below is a G Translation of https://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/24...e-hebben-het-westen-gewaarschuwd-over-rusland - Published April 23, 2022)

Former Estonian president: 'We warned the West about Russia'

Toomas Hendrik Ilves guided Estonia to EU membership as Minister of Foreign Affairs and then was President of that country from 2006 to 2016. During that time, his message about Russia to the West was consistent: he warned that Putin's ambitions extended far beyond Russia's borders.

But those words fell on deaf ears, Ilves says. "Countries like Germany and the Netherlands said: 'Come on guys, that used to be, that's over now'. And we said: 'We are more nervous than you, but okay.'"

"And now this is happening," he says, referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. "And that's why you see all over Eastern Europe that countries are like, 'Are you finally starting to listen to us?'"

The attitude of Germany at the time and present in particular hit him the wrong way. The German Foreign Minister assured her fellow ministers from the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) last Wednesday: "We hear you, we see you and Germany is on your side".

But Ilves doubts the sincerity of those intentions. Germany is reluctant to impose sanctions on Russia and supply heavy weapons to Ukraine. According to Berlin, there is too little equipment available and NATO must first give permission for the delivery.

"For other countries it is no problem to send weapons," says Ilves. "And I don't think that NATO should give the green light at all."

As far as he is concerned, it seems as if Germany wants to eat from both sides. "So that after the war they can say to Russia: we were not like the other countries, we can still have good relations with Russia. How else could you explain the ongoing dawdling in this matter?"

Russian gas

Another thorny issue is Germany's dependence on Russia for energy. Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 55 percent of the gas used in Germany came from Russia.

This week, Germany said it wanted to get rid of Russian gas. "We have made mistakes in the past in this area," Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said. "We can't reverse that now. But we must end Russian energy imports now."

But an acknowledgment for the years of warm ties with Germany is not enough for Ilves. Germany will have to bear the consequences for its own actions, as it expects from other countries, he believes.

"During the financial crisis, Germany said to Greece: you have chosen to borrow a lot of money and that now turns out to have been bad policy. These are the costs. But just as many people have said to Germany before: stop that energy dependency This is a clear 'see you soon' moment for Germany: you lecture others, but put your hand in your own bosom."

I was thinking last night about the older generations hold on the world still. I turned 40 this year, so I guess I’m coming up to middle aged now and whilst I was pro-Brexit, many of the younger generation wanted the UK to remain the EU, it was the older generations votes that took us out and the older generation got blamed for screwing the young because of that, it was a similar story in America back in 2016, the younger generation wanted Hilary and the older generation made Trump president.

When I look at Trump/Xi Jinping/Lukashenko/Saddam/Gadafi and Putin (ie boomers) and in Putin’s case, a guy who’s never seen war himself sending young Russians to their deaths, aswell as Ukrainians and leaving behind an unstable/divided world, because of that I can’t help but think of the boomers legacy on the world, right now we are seeing the last of the boomers grip on the world i.e. people who grew up after WW2/lived through the cold war from beginning to the end and truth be told it’s been a horrible last few years with Trump and now Putin.

I’m a millennial was born the 80’s, can't remember the cold war and other than last year I never had any animosity towards Russia or even Germany, whereas boomers I guess you was always taught to hate Germany after the war or hate America or Russia depending which side you was on during the cold war – I think it’s a similar story with Russians, I don’t think any millennial/gen Z Russians (ie those who don’t remember or wasn't alive during the cold war) had any problem with the west this time last year.

I think Putin is trying to teach the new generation to hate the west, but I honestly think if it wasn’t for Russia invading Ukraine, the younger generation of Russians (ie people who grew up with the web/TikTok/YouTube) would have created a better Russia with less hate.

Bit of a long post and longer than i intended, but to sum it all up, when I think of the boomers legacy in the world (what I’ve talked about above) and how they’ve totally side stepped climate change and left that to the next generation to worry about, I don’t think it’s something they can be proud of.

Yesterday, during the shelling of #Odessa, three generations of the same family were killed - three-month-old Kira, her mother and grandmother.

The father of the family went to the store and when he returned, he found out that his family was dead. pic.twitter.com/6xkenIw0Yb
