Farhad A,

Say no to war, say no to hypocrisy, condemn all atrocities!

While people of conscience around the globe must condemn Russia's preemptive use of airstrikes against Ukraine it needs to be pointed out that in addition to the dozens of airstrikes Russia has perpetrated,
In the last 48 hours alone;

  • Saudi Arabia has launched 37 airstrikes in the nation of Yemen,
  • Israel launched an airstrike in Damascus,
  • The US launched an airstrike in Somalia.

The continued moral elasticity of the government of the US and it's allies must be addressed. The US has no moral high ground here, having engaged in preemptive military invasions non-stop for the last two decades.

According to International Law, The U.N, The Geneva Convention and the Nuremberg Protocols, preemptive invasion of a sovereign nation is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

The people of the world all share the hope and the vision of world peace. The people of the world have more in common with each other than our sociopathic leaders would have us believe.

The mothers and fathers, the daughters and sons of Russia, Ukraine, Palestine, Yemen, Somalia- all nations everywhere- want happy, well fed children who can play in the sun without fear of being murdered by insane policies and warring ideologies that benefit no one.

All wars are one war, and that one war is always fought for vile profit and resource control.

There's no place in the world for war mongers and the cheering hoards who call for the blood of strangers.

We have to stop allowing the insane to run around in the world. We put away serial killers but we continue to support massive serial killing at the hands of madmen.
In our name.

They will not stop until we stop them.

some sane analysis

One of the main reasons why wars can turn out badly, even when they have been launched with confidence, is underestimation of the enemy. The sort of optimism bias that leads to predictions of early victory depends on assumptions of a decadent and witless opponent, ready to capitulate at the first whiff of danger. #Putin’s unhinged rant of a speech on Monday and his subsequent statements along with those from his courtiers have helped us understand not only his preferred rationale for war but also why he thinks he can win. If it is the case, as Putin has consistently claimed, that #Ukraine is a non-state, an artificial creation, with a #government that is illegitimate and controlled by #Nazis, then it would not be surprising if he also supposed that ordinary Ukrainians would not fight hard for such an entity. They might even, as the Russian Ambassador to the #UN suggested, greet the incoming Russian forces as liberators.

Coupled with an underestimation of enemy forces can come an overestimation of one’s own. Putin has by and large done well from his wars. He gained the Presidency in 2000 using the Second Chechen #War to demonstrate his leadership qualities. He bloodied #Georgia in 2008 to warn it off joining #NATO and eliminating the separatist enclaves Russia had already established there. He extracted #Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and more recently successfully supported Bashar #al-Assad in #Syria’s civil war. Yet his most recent military enterprises have not involved substantial ground forces being deployed. In Ukraine the operations, including the annexation of Crimea, were largely run by special forces, along with the militias recruited by the separatists in the #Donbas. Only briefly, when the separatists looked like they might be defeated in the summer of 2014 did Putin send in regular forces, who routed the unprepared and still amateurish Ukrainian units. In Syria the Russians provided the airpower but not the infantry.

Their experience of large-scale ground operations is therefore limited.

This article is from last year, and I don't know if policies might have changed, but this is a dangerous and alarming trend in Europe:

How Denmark’s Syrian refugee residency move reflects shifting policies across Europe (this is a fancy way of saying Denmark's government wants to deport refugees from war-torn Syria sending them back to certain torture and persecution)

Rasha does not know how her attempt to appeal will turn out, but one thing is clear. “I can’t go back to #Syria,” Rasha said, her voice breaking as she recalled the #Syrian secret #police knocking on doors in her neighbourhood on the outskirts of #Damascus, asking about her after she had an argument with her boss. Rasha assumes her boss reported her to the security #forces out of spite after their fight – a not uncommon revenge tactic for those looking to settle scores.

This is why all governments should be abolished and all people should have total and complete freedom of movement.

Is it really safe to be returning refugees to Syria?

Hundreds of Syrian refugees, mostly women and children, have been asked to return. The Danish government isn't alone in rolling back protections.
