Unnecessary provocation

 

NATO doesn’t have any locus standi in dealing with Russian attack and genocide in Ukraine. International community must make it urgently and unambiguously clear that NATO is worsening the situation. UN must assert itself and mediate in this crucial juncture. UN has mandate of international community; it has 193 members. UN secretary general must be the voice of the world. He must articulate the apprehensions and call for sanity. He must elaborate on threats of nuclear war to the world. He must be the voice of reconciliation, and must actively involve in day-to-day happenings to reduce the escalation, information dissemination on this crisis need to happen through UN. NATO is very much part of the problem hence must keep quiet. This constant harping (essentially taunting) of ‘retaliation against nuclear attack’ is extremely provocative (this was made few minutes back). Will the world survive the retaliation? What is NATO talking about? A military alliance only knows language of war, either its winning or enforcing peace. A paranoid murderous dictator has already crossed the line by committing genocide. He has nothing much to lose. Is it necessary to provoke and challenge his ego. NATO is worsening the situation, and is considered a threat by Putin so why indulge in provocative speculations. Isolate Putin not Russia. If there is any intelligence input on nuclear arms movement then it should be shared with UN, or other world leaders, who use the language of pacification to defuse the situation. This is not the time for bravado, entirely unnecessary. I hope they understand how serious the situation is. It is not about ‘if you attack then we attack’ game, this is about annihilation of life on earth. There are no winners. It’s about you and me, and all the beautiful lives on earth. It’s about irreparable damage to precious planet.
