@arminhillman7956 Speaking as Devil's Advocate, the history of both the US and UK in their various forms of imperialism. colonisation, and consumerism, surely tends to suggest that these nations and their leaders have desires that are full of impropriety, and have therefore vested interests in advising the Ukrainian people in what, and what not, they should do. Just like the millions of native Indians who were murdered thanks to a bunch of pious, white men, who were only doing it for their benefit, as they were backward and savage, yet many truths now have revealed who the savages, brutes and idiots were, who after many genocides achieves the goal of stealing almost all their land, and destroying their culture. Russia is reacting to American aggression, and see fit to defend their lands, just as did the natives, and look what chance they had, but they still made an effort to do so. And although I do not sense the Russians are nearly as pure, sincere and noble as the many tribes in America, nevertheless, it's good to see there are two sides to most arguments, and in some cases, like the natives, just the one side, go ask them on their run-down reservations. So big Question, when do countries stop interfering in other countries, especially when their own houses are not in order, neither that of the US, or the UK, nor any other nation, apart from maybe Bhutan, which measures success in terms of happiness. Just a few thoughts!!!

@arminhillman7956 Well I agree to disagree on most of your points, not least due to the continued arrogance of those same nations with long historical pasts for enslavement, which simply now take a different form. May I ask you to look at a reply I sent to your conversational partner in this column, who surrounded like a Latin living in Britain. It contains most of what I would like to say really, and what's more I do not live in fear, the reason for that being simple. I serve the Almighty Father who presides over us all, in a way by which I am able to partake in the communion with the Holy Spirit, from whence the Outpouring of the one true God streams into Creation, thereby sustaining and nurturing it. This same Ray of Love helps to strengthen us, and discern truth from falsehood, which is essential if we are to liberate our spirits from the morass of human opinions that find root in the Darkness, which veils all truths, so as to lead the masses into the abyss of eternal disintegration. Thus, delusion and denial are nigh, and to release men from their untruths will take great suffering, which will fall justly into the laps of all the men of every nation. I have mentioned a few spiritual helps in the other reply I mentioned, and would add that Transactional Analysis has some excellent tools, which if applied intuitively, can be profoundly useful. Thus, we can begin to find that there are authentic feelings, which are virtuous, and come from Above, and thereby stem from Truth, attracted to us through magnetism, if we so desire and long for them. Then, there are inauthentic emotions, which come from men's intellect, rather than his intuition, and which are therefore misleading. Even someone who tries to be honest, and thinks they are, can be very misguided in their thoughts, but to cleanse our spirits, and see the 'truth' or truths in given situations, is not easy, as mankind have been asleep spiritually for so long. Now we must all reap what we have sown, which is not what we think it will be, so I simply advocate look deeper within to resolve any impurities, before judging other situations. Acting out of genuine love is a great help, as well as seeking an intuitive, spiritual approach to life, and bringing beauty into all your actions and deeds. One tool of the T. A. I mentioned is very good, and it is called the Drama Triangle, which can truly help understand some of those actions you commended earlier. I hope you don't mind me challenging you, but I challenge myself the most, and it has led to some profoundly, wondrous happenings within my life, as various recognitions have come piecemeal along the way. All the very best, and wishing you a good, happy journey, despite the necessary storms that we must all walk though together.

@stewbeltin2512 After each world war people said never again, just as in bad arguments between people, even lovers, when they scream and hit out at the other, hence why most murders are between family members. The truth is, nothing has seriously changed within the human psyche since those wars, no-one ha truly addressed the issues therein, thus it can only end in another one, and you can feel the tension and divisions building up again, as they always do in another 'them and us' polarisation. This one though will be much worse due to the type of arsenals these people keep now, but who really hand on heart thought these countries would actually use these weapons, as they surely will. The truth is warnings have abounded for a long time of these weapons, and the dangers of the inequities between East and West during the 50's to the 90's, which have led to enormous envy within the former non-developed nations, which is about to unleash itself in the coming times. The answer was always and still can be found within, if we wish to find it, and perhaps a simple shift by following Bhutan's lead may help, by pursuing Happiness levels, rather than increasing GDP and the number of missiles and weapons we possess. The sad thing is, we are all going to be affected by what is coming, thus no matter how well you live your life, you cannot avoid the chaos and confusion that is coming

No change until we submit our lives to the Great Spirit, like the natives in the Americas, before the white man brought his deceitful ways. Imagine how the world would look with Sitting Bull as its leader, and Crazy Horse as his right hand man. Bisons would have flourished for sure, as would the ecology of the US, and wealth would be fairly shared, clean rivers and waters, and air, and people's main concern would be to pray and live aright, not take from others, or destroy them. US has much karma, along with some European nations, many dead reds call them to account. Great Spirit hears their moans and cries, and as promised in The Indian Prophecies, He will return the lands to the indigenous peoples. War rides into our lives again, as man does not learn, for they are nothing without Spirit, so we need to pray and intuit our actions, use dreams and visions from guides, to help lead us. Amen!!!

Perhaps there is a The, since there is clearly a divided land and peoples, and so an argument exists, who or where is the real Ukraine, which can be answered by 'The Ukraine' is ___, which is opposed to, or distinguishable from the land that is 'Not the Ukraine', which nevertheless claims sovereign rights, and therefore the entitlement of the same name, if you understand my gist, or is it the gist? There's also the fact that people oft genderise their native country, in which case they too would call it the ___, as in the Fatherland, Motherland, or the Ukraine. If you was describing a place like the Alps, the is used, as opposed to England, which in French does have a the, since it is genderised, and called l'Angleterre, which translated means Land of the Angle. Perhaps, the Ukraine is the Land of the Ukraine? Or it was, until the Russians took part of it, that is another matter, but not the matter.

@Aganemnon567 You made a statement with no basis for it. I excelled at school, just as I have excelled in the workplace, just as I excel in the recognition of the woes of society and mankind through my spiritual understanding that comes through my perpetual worship for the Great Spirit, in all my incarnations on earth, and the periods in between those many lives. Thus, I have the ability to be true to truth, and I would not call that moronic, so I would say that you have no basis for calling me one, apart from the fact explained in my first statement in this reply column, which simply states the equivalent of Shakespeare's 'they whose guilt within their bosom lies, imagine every eye beholds their blame'. Or in the words of Christ ' For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? To be, or not to be, a moron then, well try learning to spell first of all Agamemnon, and secondly, become critical and objective in relation to matters of Truth, which is something that can only be done in humility, purity, sincerity and the deepest silence.
