   As the little Russian is forced (sometimes by authority of fear,   
   sometimes at point blank) to kill or die in execution of a "special   
   military operation", little Ukrainian is dying without any influence   
   on his or her government's policy but being obliged to support   
   it in distress and danger for the survival of the nation.   
      
   Mr. Putin made a crucial mistake to make little people pay for   
   the big blocks settling their accounts.   
      
   I fully understand Mr. Putin's concerns about the possibility that   
   Russia may be surrounded by nuclear ballistic missiles with   
   far too few minutes to react in the possible world Armageddon   
   situation. But fear is the ultimate enemy. Relying upon the LORD   
   brings man into the shelter of faith (Proverbs 29:25).   
      
   Man can never neutralise all of his enemies, this is a futile   
   attempt. Needless to say, but the means chosen, many died   
   who did not deserve to die and I have to assert on both sides:   
   equally unprepared conscripts, thinking they are going on an   
   exercise without any experience in combat. And the poor   
   Ukrainian who was forced to defend his family.   
      
   Are the thermobaric bombs on the general population in big cities   
   the right answer to the alleged "Nazification" of the Ukrainian   
   army and the state?   
      
   Such weapons of mass destruction are not justified by the   
   fact that they might have already been used in Iraq or Syria.   
   Somehow Ukrainian situation hit us "closer to home and too   
   near the bone".   
      
   Maybe we are inherently racist and we care or get hurt more   
   when Caucasian, Slavonic people are killed - as it turns for nothing.   
      
   There are already healthy forces of the Bald Eagle that question the   
   justification and execution of the use of weapons and methods of mass   
   destruction in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Lybia. Such a force   
   doesn't seem to exist in the realm of the Great Bear.   
   The oligarch system doesn't seem to be able to deal with its   
   errors with methods other than eliminating dissent.   
      
   To prevent mankind to go down the slope, the solution is not to   
   adopt the worst practices of the adversary, but to "overcome evil   
   with good", and supplant them with new good paradigms.   
      
   One of them is refraining from the mass destruction of cities, as   
   the world pulled back from Hiroshima and Nagasaki, suddenly   
   realising the victim in what seemed to be merciless brutal   
   aggression force.   
      
   This is the difference between a fight between boxers that   
   stop and wait when the opponent is knocked down, as opposed   
   to the beast that will devour the prey instead.   
      
   The Ukrainians now seem to be willing to adopt the neutral   
   status and dedicate and bind themselves to a new non-nuclear   
   proliferation as in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994.   
   Why continue to destroy the country and the nation needlessly,   
   making two brotherly nations enemies with wounds that may   
   need centuries to heal?   
      
   I do not hate any Russian, nor Mr. Vladimir Putin. I respect him   
   and his arguments. But he thinks like KGB and he misses some   
   important moves in this game of chess on the board.   
      
   There is no ultimate price for peace, and it has the highest value.   
   The prosperity of any good and noble endeavour depends on it.   
      
   in the Lord   
   Amen
