Although I did not yet read the whole article yet that you sent Uwi; I just feel the same way about you as you do about me. I don’t think you understand but also am leaving room for mistakes here, with a ‘maybe’. I really think this goes far beyond winning the war against Russians. It has to do with the integrity of a people and not allowing others to bull doze you down. These intellectuals turn it into a win lose situation. Maybe 🤔 the Ukrainian’s don’t think of it this way. They may just say we are fighting for our survival. We are fighting because we are dealing with people that are truly evil and they would like to just mow us down like the Chinese did at Tiananmen Square, and Putin has done as well as the Russian government for years, as for instance just going into Czechoslovakia or Hungary and mowing down anyone who disagrees. Or just murdering everyone who disagrees with you, or putting them in prison for the rest of their life.
I believe there are people who will fight to the death for a cause regardless of the circumstances or consequences. It is not a practical matter of will we win or not, it is an ethical issue of what is right and wrong. First I want you to respond to that and then, I’ll keep reading and perhaps continue the discussion.
