Air raid warning means time to think and write in the basement. If our only hope to end this war is for the Russians themselves to come to their senses and to overthrow Putin, I fear we’re in for a long wait. And a long resistance here.
The sad part of this story is that Putin started this war because he genuinely came to believe his own propaganda.
The most worrying scenario involves indiscriminate use by Russia of heavy rockets on Ukrainian cities. A chemical or nuclear option cannot be discounted if the war continues to go badly for Russia. Ukraine’s army and population will defend itself. Russia cannot occupy Ukraine. It can only destroy us. But in the process it will destroy the entire world.
This will be a highly politically incorrect post. You may cease to follow me after reading it. I will not be offended.
The plan to quickly occupy Ukraine’s capital and to install a puppet government has failed. His ground forces have proven unreliable. Reconnaissance groups sent into the capital to sabotage key targets have been met with both civilian and military resistance and have proven completely ineffective.
As a social system Russia represents the epitomy of hierarchy, as embodied in autocracy. In this system, the voice of the individual does not matter. Soldiers are sent into battle without knowledge of their objectives. Commanders’ orders are expected to be followed — no questions asked.
The night is over. This was our first night in what I fear will be a very very long war.
We are motivated. We are calm.
We are on our land. This is our home.
Our army is strong. The invader will be repelled.
