Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "War in Ukraine -- and What It Means for the World Order | Ian Bremmer | TED" video.

  1. Mr Bremmer paints a picture of the world that takes us from technicolor back to black and white. The horrifying fact of President Putin willingly destroying a sovereign country and erasing its culture and rebranding it as Russian is so foreign to anyone in the the 21st century that all we can do of us it sit back and watch it passively unfolding on our television screens as reporters show us pictures of hospitals blown up, civilians leaving the country in droves and Ukrainian fighters holding on by their fingernails. Our civilization crumbles once again because a person of dubious mental health skillfully manoeuvered himself into the top position of power and on a whim has decided to disrupt a nation of over 40 million people and absorb it into a nation that spans 11 time zones and 9,000 kilometers. One person has changed not only 40 million Ukrainian lives, but he has affected the lives of everyone in the entire world and impregnated a new type of sadness in our consciousness that could be called griefache. Putin has given us a sort of 'griefache' in that we've never felt bad this way before. One thing is sure, I'll never be happy until Ukraine and Crimea have been returned to their rightful owners: the Ukrainians.
