It's unfortunate and sad, but America and many around the world are turning the Ukrainian invasion, the massacres and slaughters and destructions into a major show. Whereby some are revolted by what is happening and are condemning it, against some others who are turning the entire affair into a stage show, influenced by a well organized counter propagandist machine, run by Fox news, the Koch brothers empire and similar few other major corporations including the energy and military industry complexes, plus of course the original initiator of it all, the ex president Donald Trump and his machine.
The American people, as many other individuals around the world are taking their stand and feeling better about themselves, and justifying their positions for totally other reasons than what is really happening on the ground. Here in America your love and admiration for Trump and the right's conservative push plus the religious fervor of white supremacists are becoming a dominant factor in finding excuses and justifications for Putin's deadly and destructive adventure into a neighboring inconvenient country.
Some prominent Republican members complained openly that a Putin faction is well established within the Republican party. Even the Moscow propaganda machine is adopting and praising this group's language and demagoguery, while trying to come up with convincing arguments to the Russian and international audiences. The other side is reacting timidly, by confirming their rhetoric and position. But no one is seriously thinking or demanding forcefully an immediate sort of solution nor a stop to the barbaric situation that should end as quickly and effectively as possible.
Americans, Europeans and several citizens from around the world, should desist and abstain from the traditional love and hate of America, the Biden administration, liberalism or conservatism, even the naïve blind admiration of the macho looks of the eternal metamorphosed Putin. Our esteemed major corporations, including the energy and the military industries should feel and share with people from their countries and in Ukraine and its neighbors, rather than strictly their immediate sales and profits and accumulation of huge wealth. I'm mostly addressing the fossil energy corporations as well as the military industries.
Again, I have to say, a mistake or a wrong doing doesn't and shouldn't justify another similar action. So let's stop finding good excuses to Putin's ugly self glorifying adventure, by mentioning the wrongs America did in Iraq or Afghanistan and elsewhere, nor justifying Putin's actions because of what Israel is doing to the Palestinians and to all its neighbors, we should all stand together and seriously condemn war crimes and brutality and hegemony in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen , Syria, Israel and Ukraine, they are all unnecessary brutal and savage situations unworthy of our present civilization.
Let us all seriously take part in the great drama of survival on our planet, ensuring some decency for our children and grand children's future, instead of finding excuses and justifications to vulgar brutality, annihilation, apartheid, colonialism and supremacy of some factions over the others. Let us all unite in growing our abilities to do the kind of clear thinking that will save life on earth, and not endorse ugly and stupid barbaric adventures just to glorify the few.
All wars of our 21st century are terribly horrific and cruel, be it in Yemen or the Middle-East in general, the occupied Palestinian territories or Ukraine, they are all to be condemned and must be ended as quickly and swiftly as possible. Judging conflicts, social and civil uprisings, wars and hegemony, brutality and cruelty, should not follow one's group affiliations, nor who one likes or fancies or doesn't like. The issues and policies by themselves are the important facts to judge, back up or condemn, and not our feelings about the leaders or regime or oligarchy carrying them.
As always, my many thanks to all for following, stay safe and well.
C est une attitude que je partage entièrement, cher frère. ENTIEREMENT @!!
