1/ The world will never be the same on the other side of this event. There is no more tweaking things here and tweaking things there in the hopes of saving the world. We will need a complete rethink and a complete redo, both in the way we see things and the way we behave.

2/ There’s no more grace period left for a reckless humanity. The law of cause & effect is ultimately irrevocable; consequences of our actions can be postponed but not avoided. Seeing on TV each day what annihilation looks like will hopefully awaken us to the urgency of this time

3/ America didn’t “cause” this war but we definitely contributed to conditions that produced it. We owe it to ourselves to participate in a collective atonement for the many ways in which we haven’t been wise, haven’t been humble & haven’t been the country we like to think we are

After invading and destroying Iraq ... How can we honestly be surprised when a country like Russia invades Ukraine ... Then we do little to nothing saying Russia has Nuclear Weapons! ... When Russia invades Poland what will we do?

Usa government were the provocateurs and responsible for this. Putin invading Ukraine is also unjustified but instigated by usa and nato.

Eh, the US did cause this war. And not only that, they're prolonging it by pressuring the puppet government to keep pointlessly fighting when they should be negotiating.

Your said is from your awareness rather than calculation, but it's right. Believing awareness rather than reason maybe the correct response to the war. war is bloody in awareness, but it's win/lost, live/death, rich/poor … in reason. 1/

I agree with everything you're saying. It'll never be up to the generations that have proven their consistent apathy is here to stay. It's truly up to the 20-45 year old crowd to shift their entire way of thinking away from what has been to what 'could be'.

People excusing Putin’s tyrannical decision to invade a sovereign country, being apologists of this madman dictator like yourself, Marianne, by blaming the west for it. This is exactly the propaganda coming from communist CHINA! Wake up, Marianne!

You know Marianne its not that I don't agree with your sentiments or even your outlook but I just see a giant void between words and actions The world is jam-packed full of preachers and wise folk selling or genuine what we need is someone that can and does deliver
