The other day I read about a marine that fought in Afghanistan & Iraq. When he returned to the states, he was removed from his comaderie with fellow marines. The one thing that stayed with him like glue was his hatred for Muslims. He couldn't fit back into society. The only thing of comfort for him was his extreme hate. To fix himself, he thought was to kill off that what vexed him. Muslims period. Death to Muslims. His hometown in a Midwestern state has a new Muslim church. Off he went to take down some local Muslims. His face of rage was picked up by some Muslims at the church. One of them went up to him and showed him kindness toward the marine. That disarmed him in his quest to do violence. The Muslim kept talking to him and his rage went from boiling to simmering. One Muslim invited him to her house for an Afghan traditional dinner which he accepted. Overtime his rage was replaced by love and kindness. He now preaches his conversion to others. One simple act. Does it always work, maybe not. But I think if you invite divine spirit in during the travail and show the kindness, things should come out ok.
Narcissman, greed, hatred and selfishness are all to be found in Putin. Ukraine became a country after the fall of the Berlin wall. The country said to US take away our nuclear weapons which they did. Then they started down the path of freedom via democracy. It's a long hard path but they were doing good. Thirty years later Putin wanted Ukraine back in his pocket. The genie is out of the lamp for 30 years and he's trying to stuff it back into the lamp. That is not going to end well. A raving lunatic.
Now. The pope was telling Ukraine to deal peacefully with the Russians, this was a couple months after Feb 24 th. Yeah right. Deal with the Russians who are liars and murders. Now Elon Musk suggests to Ukraine sit down with the Russians. Yeah right.
How about this. Suppose Russia invaded Florida and pushed up to Alabama and Georgia. So let's talk peace. The Russians say will give you back Alabama & Georgia but we'll keep Florida. Just what do you think the US would have to say about that.
Now the whole world is held hostage to one man's whims. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Thats why in a democracy the power is shared in equal branches of government. Autocracy leads to nuts which leads to a sad state of affairs. Now we're at the point will he or will he not take the world down with him.
