Topic: War in Ukraine


We need to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity

We need to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity by considering other human beings as brothers and sisters
I have been deeply saddened by the conflict in Ukraine.
Our world has become so interdependent that violent conflict between two countries inevitably impacts the rest of the world. War is out-dated – non-violence is the only way. We need to develop a sense of the oneness of humanity by considering other human beings as brothers and sisters. This is how we will build a more peaceful world.
Problems and disagreements are best resolved through dialogue. Genuine peace comes about through mutual understanding and respect for each other’s wellbeing.
We must not lose hope. The 20th century was a century of war and bloodshed. The 21st century must be a century of dialogue.
I pray that peace is swiftly restored in Ukraine.

How to Explore a Perspective
Relax, focus. Take a step back and look at the Perspective from all sides. Now, zero in at the center!
 
What is the Bias?
What assumptions does it make? Whose interests does it serve?

What is your Personal Experience?
How does it make you feel? How do your experiences, privileges, and personal interests affect your understanding of it?
Now, enter the heart
▶ Say something good about what you disagree with, even if there are flaws.
▶ Find causes, not symptoms. Ask what lies at the root.

Topic: War in Ukraine


The purpose of the Ukraine crisis is to herd sheeple back into line

“Unfortunately, World War 3 has already begun, almost exactly two years ago when the world was locked down in a state of siege to a false flag flu engineering populations into the new 9/11 war of bioterror, necessitating techno-tyranny for our safety and general welfare by the state-of-emergency war powers and health of the state. And conveniently, for our rulers of course, especially as rising resistance to that war was unfolding across nations, our attention is now being redirected onto this war.

The Ukraine crisis and shock doctrine is the new fear factor for herding sheeple back into line for daring to be their own people, in defiance of the “masters of mankind” (Adam Smith). It’s been long in the making as an opportune hot spot to hold subjects in thrall to the gods of war and the military industrial complex. Following the fall of the Soviet system, when George the First declared the New World Order and the UN set our sights on Agenda 21, the former republics of the USSR have retained their historic role as both economic and military war zones with the continuing encroachment of US-EU and US-NATO imperialism upon the Russian heartland in a revised Operation Barbarossa. Made all the more provocative beginning in 2014 with (neo-Nazified) regime change coup in Kiev, ever since in violation of the Minsk agreement, realignment of Crimea, and recent uptick in proxy state terror upon the Donbass region.”

Putin’s original statement

It is well known that we are trying to insist and patiently discuss with the leading NATO countries for thirty years on equal and indivisible security principles in Europe. In response to our proposals, we have been constantly faced either with cynical fraud and lies, or attempts of oppression and blackmail; meanwhile, the North Atlantic Alliance is constantly expanding despite all our protests and concerns!
Moving forward as a military and getting close enough to our borders. Why is this all happening? Where does this insolent style of speech come from; with the attitude that he is unique, unimportant, and that he has everything, come from; where does this indifferent attitude towards all our concerns and completely legal demands? Old talks, agreements are no longer working, there is no use of language and requests! Hegemonu, everything that does not please those in power is declared arrogantly, obsolete and useless. However, on the contrary, everything that seems advantageous to them is served as an absolute truth, at any cost, is suppressed in the most roughest way and with all kinds of circumstances. Those who refuse to accept are being knocked down on their knees. Everywhere in the world where the West goes to establish its own order, in the end, the impression of bloody, incurable wounds, international terrorism and extremism remains is being observed. As an excuse, they allegedly introduced weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It is well known that we are trying to persist and patiently negotiate with the leading NATO countries for thirty years on equal and indivisible security principles in Europe with the USA. In response to our proposals, we have constantly faced either a sinister fraud and lies, or attempts to repression and blackmail; meanwhile the North Atlantic Alliance is constantly expanding despite all our protests and concerns
military device is moving and getting close enough to our borders. Why is this all happening? With the attitude that he is unique, unimportant, and that he has everything, where does this insolent style of speech come from; where does the indifferent attitude that ignores our concerns and our completely legal demands come from? Old talks, agreements are no longer valid, there is no use of tongue spilling and requests Hegemonu, everything that does not satisfy those in power is declared as a backward, outdated and useless. However, on the contrary, everything that seems advantageous to them is served as an absolute truth, at any cost, is suppressed in the most roughest way and with all kinds of circumstances. Those who refuse to accept are being knocked down on their knees. In all parts of the world where the West goes to establish its own order, the impression of bloody, incurable wounds, international terrorism and extremism remains is being realized as an excuse, mass destruction in Iraq. a they put their guns forward. They chose the intelligence that the USA has as evidence. US Secretary of State shook a test tube with white dust inside the eyes of the whole world and convinced everyone that it was a weapon of mass destruction manufactured in Iraq. Then it turns out that this is a hoax, bluff. There was no chemical weapons in Iraq!! Lied from the highest levels of state.
The unlawful use of military forces against Libya has taken this state into total destruction and led to the birth of a massive international terror headquarters. Further, the Libyan tragedy, a mass migration from North Africa and the Middle East to Europe.
They had prepared a similar fate for Syria. The military activities carried out by the Western coalition in this country without the permission of the Syrian government and the UN Security Council are nothing but aggression and military intervention.
(Putin's call to Ukrainian soldiers):
Respectable comrades! While your fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers were defending our common homeland, today's neonazis didn't fight for power in Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers swore commitment to their own people, not to a cuntaya, the enemy of Ukraine who robbed Ukraine and made fun of their own people. Don't follow the orders that mean crime! I urge you to immediately drop your guns and go home.
For the people of Ukraine:
In 2014 Russia had to defend the people of Crimea and Sivastopol against a group that Ukrainians themselves call "nazi". Crimeans and Sivastopollians made their choices in order to be with their historical homeland, Russia and we supported that. I repeat: we couldn't have acted otherwise. Today's events are not related to the desire to violate the interests of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. These are related to defending Russia, Ukraine hostage and those who try to use it against our country and our people. Our actions are a legitimate defense against the threat that is posed against us and a greater trouble than today. No matter how heavy it is, please understand this
