Here's to Putin dying soon. Na Zdorovie! 

As it is right now, the "economic conditions for peace" is a set of meaningless words and something that too many are not wanting. When you consider how much money from the oil countries is going to the war efforts in many places in the Middle East, and then you look at the somewhat similar "interest" that that big country has, to jump on a smaller place ... after a while it is very difficult to wonder, who wants peace? Specially when some are making millions off oil, or other ways, and funding war efforts elsewhere, that should/could have been stopped a long time ago, but somehow, it is made to look like this side of this religion is not better or worse that the other side of the religion ... they are all venomous in their own way. 

It is like this in a lot of Central and South America as well, where the attitude, sometimes, reached into the laws of the jungle and nowadays, who has the guns and the bombs wins, or maybe I should say the poppies and other plants!

It's become too much of an "interest" that is important to the whole "country", itself just a bunch of folks fighting each other, and you can look at Africa, and the mess it was and has become even more, for its number of subdivisions.

I tend to look at it cynically ... we have added too many people to the earth, and maybe the best solution is to drop down the numbers! But you really think this will improve in the Middle East when it is all simply a feudal set of wars and skirmishes that have been happening for hundreds, if not thousands, of years ... 

I think that the day I leave it all behind, it will be the first time I see "peace" and what it means ... good riddance of everything else! There's some cynicism for you!

Anyway climate change will either burn us or drown us eventuall

This is one of the reasons I end up having panic attacks to often. I'm super scared of climate change. ;_;

All of you need to get a grip.   Seriously.   There are wars, people fight, there are tragedies.   And climate change... well are you contributing to it?   Hmm?   DO YOU OWN A GAS CAR?   Yeah, I thought so.

Do what you think is right.  Stop complaining.   Live your life.

One can be a paranoid narcissistic ass-hat and have megalomanical visions of grandeur at the same time. Putin is a case in point. How many Putin associates is it now that have mysteriously fallen out of windows?  Ten? Twenty? If I were a Putin associate, I'd definitely add guard rails to any window above the first floor. 

And no one was ever threatening Russia's existence. In fact, the only reason Russia's economy is tanking and countries like Sweden and Finland want to join NATO is specifically because Putin is trying to force neighboring countries back into a new Soviet Empire. But no one was going to invade that piss-poor country. For what? Adding alcoholics to their dole? This is all about a perceived loss of prestige and a tiny Putin pudenda.

That's your prerogative. The war in Ukraine is solely resting on Putin's puny shoulders. He is totally at fault for murdering innocents, bombing apartment buildings, schools and shopping centers. NATO is not to blame, Ukraine is not to blame -- it is all Putin. You can believe what you want, I personally do not care. The facts remain for the world to see.
