Glory to Ukraine
Putin’s Invasion
What a way to start 2022, but with war. Unless you live under a rock, then you must of heard of the headline of the year. Despite no official declaration of war by Russia, we all know his “special operation” was a thinly veiled war decree. To think war is still on the table in the modern age. Countries have yet to remove incompetent and backward heads of state.
War only benefits the ones with power and wealth. To say this a war about countries is sadly mistaken. Especially not about de-nazifying Ukraine. It’s all about taking control of resources that will in turn profit the ones in charge. Another yacht won’t hurt, right?
Putin is not so much a warmonger, but an opportunist. He found the perfect opportunity to invade Ukraine when the rest of the world was ravaged by Covid-19 and economic turmoil. You could say Russia also had these problems, but they had less to loose being sanctioned previously and more to “win”.
Little did Russia know the Ukrainian people weren’t going to let their country get invaded by a tyrant. As I’m creating this post, Kyiv has not fallen to the Russians. Yes, it may fall eventually, but fate could have other plans. Hopefully it’s the peaceful kind.
Regardless of the resolution, the damage has already been done and will continue to affect the world for decades. More so Europe than others. So what can we do? We can start by voting in the right people, promoting peace, educating the masses, etc. None of this is easy or quick, but through the years we can make a better world. One where our planet isn’t dying, where civilizations are highly advanced, and where war is but an ancient term.
