Russia and Ukraine

[Leonardo17]

   The main problem in Russia is beginning to be Russia itself. Thanks to their madness level truth denying propaganda machine psychological illnesses are increasing alcoholism is said to have increased by 80%. The economic situation is also worsening every day. They are now said to be lacking eggs. Most companies (that we know of) are facing difficulties especially due to the lack of personnel since nearly 1 million Russians have simply fled their country.

   So the worse possible scenario is actually happening. Liberal minded Europeans did not want to see that. Even back in 2022 when the war first started. Russia was a source of cheap and reliable energy and an important economic and political partner in this region and beyond. There were voices pointing to the true face of Putin’s Russia in the 2010’s as early as the Syrian civil war.
 
   What I mean is that a huge potential has been lost. My view is that mistakes have been done in the 1990’s. Yes the Soviet Union did disintegrate and it had to disintegrate.

And as the ancient US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said yesterday, Russians do not really deserve this type of government.

His final phrase (“The only thing that is necessary of evil to triumph is for good people like us to do nothing. Don’t be inactive) reminds me of the Biblical story:
 
The Pharaoh who had learned that a great prophet was going to be born had ordered all male children to be murdered. So what would you do if you were the mother of Moses in that situation? She did something. It was nothing like a very rational plan of action but she still did something by putting baby Moses in a basket and letting him go on the Nile. Which might look like a stupid thing to do but it was still better than just waiting for her offspring to be murdered by the pharaoh’s soldiers.
