Pirates of the Carribean star Orlando bloom who is a UNICEF ambassador had visited Vlodimyr Zellensky yesterday (Video in link at the end of the post). He recited him a beautiful poem from the Japanese philosopher Daisaku İkeda which I transliterated bellow. I think it’s worth reading and watching
 Quote: The times are changing from an age where power is justice to an age in which justice is power. In this new age the supreme guiding principle will be the will be the benefit of all humanity rather than the interest of one particular nation or ethnic group. We will see the transformation of history from the revolution of the external environment to that of the inner self, the inner human nature. This will be an age in which the action of leaders will naturally be based on guidelines of making all mothers happy. A great future lies ahead of you. You must fix your eyes ahead of you, never loosing sight of your goal, not even for a single moment. Centuries, tens of centuries have waited for you to arrive and have been preparing for you. You are the ones who have appeared now do mystically. Your victory will be the victory of humanism. Your defeat will be the defeat of hope. Hence, you must win, in everything. You must fight with an indomitable spirit.

Russia has it's hands full invading a country the size of texas. It's day 392 of a three day war and russia is still struggling, mightily, to attempt to occupy two counties worth of territory with it's entire military committed. China won't join in, they've too much to lose and nothing to gain from the Ukraine war escalating. India are far more likely to continue fence sitting while Russian commodities are ultra cheap, but try to swing back towards the US afterwards, especially now that they know the Russian weapons systems they invested into are vapourware. And any African nations stupid enough to side with Russia would be as useful as a chocolate teapot in a volcano if a wider war broke out.

There are lots of videos made by Russian soldiers urging Putin to do something so that they don't just be sent to the slaughter as canon fodder. Soldiers seem to think that Putin gives a fuck about them and that only the leadership on the front is corrupt because they are being told by the officers that they were sent to die on the front.
Similar videos are being made by their wives and mothers. So who knows, maybe Russians finally take matters into their own hands and remove the SOB. https://youtu.be/fignUvTwig8
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

"If only dear leader knew" isn't a bug, it's a feature. That's not an indication that they're going to take things into their own hands or get rid of him. It's a demonstration that instead of that, they're gonna do this other thing. A year of getting their asses handed to them has gotten them from "i don't watch the news" to "i'm not political" to "i can't know these things" to..well...this. Hell, just a few months ago wives and moms were posting videos about how...actually...their sons and husbands and brothers were abusive drunks anyway, so good riddance.

The Ukranians are fighting for what's theirs. The Russians are fighting because someone said they had to...I'm figuring the former is a reason that will last longer.

In a better world, maybe - but in this world both ukranians and russian soldiers are hostages. The ukranians will keep fighting as long as a russian rifle is pointed at them...and in this, the russian forces are in a completely equivalent position. They've got ukranian nazi supersoldiers on one side, and invincible russian blocking forces on the other.
