What a mess we are in. This is escalating dangerously. We people all across the world are seriously concerned. An urgent intervention by UN and responsible leaders of Western nations is needed here. We common people across the world are always fodder in bigger game of powerful people. We really don’t know what is happening. We see horrible sights of bombs exploding and people getting killed, and now threats of nuclear war. What can we do except watch with growing concern.
Let’s get the basics. Respect sovereignty of nation. Respect borders of
nations. Russia, under dictator Putin, has attacked another country and massacred
people. These are facts. What is also true is presence of anachronistic cold
war relic NATO -that Russia see as a threat. Russia at this point is ruled not
by reason but by survival instinct of an egomaniac. He has access to nuclear arsenals
that can create havoc at a scale that would make Hiroshima look minor event and collapse life system on earth. Steps towards de-escalation could include roll back of NATO and eventual disbanding while Russia evacuate Ukraine territory. The
world doesn’t really need military organizations that is ossified in the realities
of 20th century. If there is no Warsaw pact then why is NATO needed?
What is the threat that NATO is protecting? World has evolved and is nowhere
connected to realities of 1940s or 50s, there is nothing in common -it only exists
in the minds of older leaders and their egos. West must recognize this by not
pushing the world into fracture lines of the past. West must show magnanimity
and confidence in its capabilities. Nobody is giving into the blackmail of a
dictator. It’s logical thing to do, as also good for the world to strengthen UN. Deploy UNPKF at Russia-Ukraine border. Encourage democratic forces in Russia. If world leaders are not able to take decision, then feed all these facts to Artificial
Intelligence (AI), and I am quite sure this is the optimal solution an AI would also suggest. This
need not be a zero-sum game, it’s a loss for humanity and for life on earth. It
can still be salvaged.
