While Ukraine has overwhelmingly won the English propaganda war, it's not clear that this holds in other languages. Most of the world's pop live in countries that are neutral or Russia-supporting, even now.
For the better or the worse, the era of war is coming to an end. In the nuclear age, either we will conquer war, or it will conquer us.
How to conquer war? By focusing on that small fraction of humanity who are responsible for wars, violent men. Not this or that collection of particular violent men who are currently causing some problem somewhere, but violent men in general as a class of human beings. We end them, or they will end us.
Meaning no disrespect, but this author, like so many others, is looking backwards in to history, not forward in to the future. The patterns of the long past are no longer sustainable, so one way or another, those patterns will end.
Excellent piece - thanks for posting!
Bravo, Mick.
Excellent, waiting for the 3rd piece!
