Day 50 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Day 50 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine - 14. April 2022

Trying to make sense of an unthinkable tragedy: 14 steps
#StandWithUkraine

  1. THE EARTH STANDS WITH UKRAINE. All compassionate human beings #StandWithUkraine
  2. IT IS OUR DUTY TO STAND WITH UKRAINE. Because: "No equidistance is conceivable, if we want to be faithful to our values."- Liliana Segre, OMRI, Holocaust survivor, member of the Italian Senate, 25. March 2022.
  3. RUSSIA’S WAR IS ILLEGAL - "No state shall by force interfere with the constitution or government of another state." - Immanuel Kant, 1795.
  4. RUSSIA: A MAFIA STATE - This was already known to the Western governments since many years, but they preferred to do big business with the mafia. Now everybody can see the demonstration that it was bad for stability and safety.
  5. Putin and his mafia have NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS WAR: ONLY THEIR MADNESS.
  6. THE LANGUAGE of their madness:  RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA & DESINFORMATION.
  7. THE WAR STRATEGY of their madness: INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE AGAINST UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS in Chernihiv, Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, Kharkiv, Kramatorsk, Mariupol, Kherson, Mykolaiev, etc. #CrimesAgainstHumanity
  8. BUCHA MASSACRE: PUTIN AND THE KREMLIN ARE RESPONSIBLE for the Bucha massacre and all the other crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. Why? Because intentionality and responsibility form a unity. See #InheritedIntentionality
  9. Putin claims "IT IS NOT A WAR":  Right, it is worse than war, IT IS GENOCIDE.
  10. PUTIN'S RUSSIA IS BACK TO ABSOLUTISM. The European Enlightenment was the beginning of emancipation from Absolutism (I. Kant, 1784). Russia is back there now, a gap of 250 years.
  11. IN RUSSIA THE MIDDLE AGES ARE STILL ONGOING. What Patriarch Kirill preaches in his sermons related to the war reminds of the Crusades, the Holy wars of thousand years ago.
  12. WESTERN SANCTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH. Why are they ineffective? What hidden agendas are some powerful Western governments trying to implement? 
  13. THE PRIORITY IS TO STOP THE RUSSIAN AGGRESSOR. When a mafia state with a mad government is intentionally killing civilians and destroying cities of another state, then market, customers, business, history, reconciliation and the like are not priorities. The priority is Justice, which means stopping the aggressor. Because: "If Justice perishes, human life on Earth has lost its meaning." - Immanuel Kant, 1797.
  14. GLOBAL POWERS ARE A "SYSTEMIC DANGER" for stability, safety and ethics.:  from the tragedy of Ukraine, we see now that we need to change this. SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL ... AND HUMAN, more than ever in 2022.
