Putin threatens to nuke us if we do anything to prevent the gradual take over of Ukraine and Eastern Europe. If someone is a mass murder with nukes, should we allow them get all their demands to procure ‘peace?’ There is honestly nothing to stop them from continuing on into the rest of Europe, and I hardly doubt the long-term goal is anything else. China will take this in, as they look to Taiwan. Putin is a mass murdering sociopath, plain and simple, and President Trump is a simplistic narcissist. I appreciate his desire for peace. Unfortunately, I do not see a path forward where Russia doesn’t engulf Ukraine until Russia owns Europe without sending in NATO Peacekeepers and escalating this to full-scale war.
I think it is time to redraft the laws of warfare first. I don’t think it will stop Putin from doing anything he wants. I think inviting him to the table, as well as P.M. Neytanyahu, and other world leaders obviously willing to ignore existing war crimes, will communicate that we are willing to go to war again. International law without teeth is pointless. Our humanity is at a crisis. We have an unwillingness to stand up against evil utilizing warfare when dictators are willing to hold the Earth hostage.
I never thought I’d be pro-war. I’m hardly the person to take seriously. I’m fairly brain damaged and often struggle to communicate a coherent thought. However, I no longer believe in radical pacifism. I just don’t. There is a point to defense, and we will be fighting them in Ukraine to prevent it from spreading over here. They may nuke us. They know our response will be worse, leading to the death of humanity as we know it. However, Putin’s a sociopath, not a simplistic narcissist.
We need to lay down the terms for our inevitable warfare before it starts, even if there aren’t any revisions. We torture. Probably, we should admit we now find that acceptable. Let Putin join us not for talks as to getting what he wants. Let him face the reality that we may once again be willing to fight.
PM Netanyahu, to whom I am more empathetic with considering The 07OCT Surprise 9/11-moment, is still willing to commit genocide using mass starvation. Honestly, it turns my stomach. I don’t want to see children starved. However, it’s fucked up we act like the death of the lower enlisted is any less tragic. They are kids, too. What are our limits? Let’s make them clear with Putin. We can have a double standard, sure, but let’s stop being simplistic ideologues. What is war good for? Well, stopping war sometimes. Perhaps there are no longer limits. Perhaps the planet is doomed anyway, so nuke the entire thing. It’s not what I hope for, but I’m bipolar 1. I’m looking around me, though, and I see scared stupid. Perhaps we need a bipolar person to speak up. Probably not. Real veterans probably should, though. Shit. They should probably be the ones determining our moral limits. They always are in the end. I hope they do with nukes, too.
Let’s be clear; War is the moral anarchy of nihilism. The military has always scared me, even merely the VA by proxy. It’s sometimes necessary to weaponize our own evils. Korea and Iran will eventually have long-range nukes. It’s inevitable. Currently, we are on a path to where threatening their use gets them everything they want. Taiwan is fucked on this path our president has set forward. When someone orders a dead switch, may God’s will be done. In the meantime, pacifism is no longer a path to peace. We need to be willing to defend again or expect to be conquered.
