Perhaps I'll write more about the Ukrain Tragedy, but I don't promise anything
Although it was to be expected, yet I was shocked by that pure act of
agression, the Russian attack on the sovereign State of Ukraine.
I am certainly no supporter of president Putin [1], committer of serious
human rights violations in Russia and still worse, in Chechnya [2]
like his predecessors, but that being said:
The ones that condemn Putin most for his unlawful attack, namely the USA and the EU, are birds of the same feather:
What about the US led attack on Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya? [3]
Was the attack on Iraq in contrary to International Law or not! [4]
Were not those countries sovereign States, like Ukraine?
Are warcrimes not committed on large scale in those US led wars? [5]
Certainly I am NOT a supporter of Putin at all and I am a fervent opponent
of the division of the world into international Power Blocs, as if the world were
a sort of mighty Cake [Ukraine for the Ukrainian people!].
But seen from a geopolitical point of view [not mine], I do understand, that
Putin is furious about the disturbed Game of Power since the late eighties
of the 20th century, called ''Perestrojka'' [6] and the fall of the Sovjet Empire,
from which Western Europe took advantage by practically incorporate the Eastern European countries by the EU, countries, that back in the days belonged to the Warsaw Pact, the great enemy of the US led Western European NATO [7]
Granted, membership of the EU [8] was the own will of the new European governments and their people and the former Russian occupation and oppression of Eastern Europe was not right at all, but here I am talking, not about
Eastern European rights, but the INTENTION of Western Europe.
And that was:
To weaken what was left of the Russian Empire.....
And we've witnessed the desastrous consequences of a world, ruled by
one Super Power, the USA.
Look at the bloody wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya etc! [9]
EU, TWO FACED LIAR!
And the EU is a two faced liar anyway!
Now, when they can use it against Russia and for their own propaganda,
they welcome Urrainian refugees '[10] and don't get me wrong:
I am pleased with the saving of those war-refugees!
But when desperate Syrian and Iraqi's [in both wars US and the EU took part
and committed warcrimes] fled to Poland, via Belarus, EU member Poland
built a Wall and pushed the refugees back, letting them freeze and starve
in the wintercold.......[11]
With the ''blessing'' of the EU.......[12]
HELP ME, PLEASE
I will never forget the sight of an old Ukrainian Lady,
who seemed to have nobody to support here, bursting out in tears
and begging to the camera, begging to us:
''HELP ME, PLEASE''
That touched me deeply:
I have no sympathy for and nothing to do with leaders of State, whether Russian
or US/Western European and their deadly and sick game powers.
NO, my sympathy lies with common Ukrainian people, who are the
real victims of the military adventures of powerseeking countries
and rulers:
''When Elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers''
How true........
