  1. Putin to Zelensky: “Look, I know we’ve had our issues in the past but please let me in.” Zelensky to NATO: “Look, I know we’ve had our issues in the past but please let us in.” NATO to USA: “Look, I know we’ve had our issues in the past but we need you in.” USA to Russia: “Look, I know we’ve had our issues in the past but you do know who’s going to win.” 😳

  2. How about being 100% human and forgetting the accident of birth nationalistic crap?🤓

  3. After 300,000 years of Homo-Sapiens on this planet, we still have one troublemaker that no one likes, no one wants, and yet, we tolerate him to the point of him sparking a nuclear war. Really? Yes, really. Read it and weep. 😭

  4. So it’s just Ukrainians who are your ‘brothers’? Is not every other single human being your ‘brother’ and ‘sister’, too? When you start fencing off this or that group as ‘yours’, thereby out-grouping everyone else, you simply perpetuate 300,000 years of human tribalism and division. You are actively complicit in human conflict and war and are contributing to its perpetuation, knowingly or otherwise.😳

  5.  @worldclass4508  For me, it all flows from the individual level. Yes, authoritarianism and regimes that use this are inimical, but the general culture is what allows these to breed and flourish. I’ve spent some time looking at why humans are so awful to one another and my basic answer to these issues is as follows. The greatest problem humanity faces, and has always faced, is the one of ‘taking offence’. Note ‘taking’. No one can be offended against their will. You are fully complicit in the act of ‘being offended’. The only long-term solution to this is obvious. Train oneself to not be offended. By anything. Don’t hitch yourself so tightly to this or that identity (family, tribe, nation, race, religion, sex, sports team etc) such that when someone else says something, anything, about the aforementioned it will be impossible for you to take offence, quite simply as you have refused to subsume so much of your identity in the perceived target another attacks.🤓 In sum, if everyone were to simply widen their scope of identity to encompass everyone else, then many of our troubles would be solved instantly. I used to be fairly rigidly religious, fairly nationalistic, and fairly sensitive about a few other things when someone else criticised something I identified with. I’m no longer, as I have trained myself (it’s not that difficult) to not identify with anything smaller than the human scale, thereby obviating my falling into the fatal trap of in-grouping and out-grouping. You don’t even necessarily have to like these other humans, let alone love them; you simply see them as other humans who cannot possibly offend you and therefore there is no issue. Of course, the heavy-handed, authoritarian regimes/humans are still a big problem to solve as they come blundering at you with physical force, but this training oneself to have no intrinsic beef with another person, based on sex, national pride, race, sexuality, religion etc., is something we can all do, right now. 🤓

  6. If ever humanity needed another reminder after 300,000 years or so of just how primitive and unevolved we are in many respects it’s this crap. One primitive little man, it seems, dubiously democratically elected, rattles his sabre (calling Freud), amasses his boys and girls at the borders of another sovereign territory, and voila! My inability to understand how this happens, given that the last time I looked we are all human beings, and have far more in common fundamentally, than any differences, is palpable. Oh, well. What do they say about those who don’t learn from their history?😳

  8. How about just being ‘human’?
