What does justify peace?
You may not realize it but speaking in the negative does not help.
I’m not even asking what justifies war. I’m taking war as the default position. What could possibly justify peace?
Rather than condemn Russia, condemn the West for provoking the Bear then claiming victim status!
Did you watch the vid with Vance? You spoke about innocent Ukrainian women and children. Do you think the decision to keep fighting is NOT killing innocent Ukrainian women and children? About 400K Ukranians have died. Only the war lords benefit from this - not the common man.
Not sure if you've seen it-- but there is a horribly sad video of a "soldier" with Down's Syndrome being forced-marched by his Ukrainian comrades-- mocked and abused within his own unit.... Of course, he was among those "fighting age" men conscripted to go fight those evil Russians.
Meanwhile there is "the Monaco Battalion." Dozens of wealthy Ukrainians-- mostly petrol-rich families- fled the country to the French Riviera, so that their fighting-age men could dodge the draft. Same goes for Poland-- they can't keep luxury items on the shelves because of the huge influx of wealthy Ukrainians, content to vacation and ride-out the conflict, without ever risking their sons.
It's disgusting.
Ukraine is projected to suffer the greatest loss of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) as a proportion of its population, with 2,800 millionaires (or 42% of all HNWIs in Ukraine) expected to have left the country by the end of the year. (2022)
The world’s wealthy have traditionally relocated to the US and the UK but Henley said the United Arab Emirates is expected to overtake them as the No 1 destination for millionaire emigrants. “UK has lost its wealth hub crown, and the US is fading fast as a magnet for the world’s wealthy, with the UAE expected to overtake it by attracting the largest net inflows of millionaires globally in 2022,” Henley said in its report, which is based on “systematically tracking international private wealth migration trends”.
