What the leaders of the free world are saying is that a sovereign country cannot be taken over by another country. In all due respect to Foreign Minister Lavrov, the G7 countries do not want to contain Russia, they simply want Russia to owe up to the agreements it has signed in the past. I am an artist and I am not qualified---like a foreign minister is---to assess the politics of the Russian invasion into the Ukraine, for example. That being said, have a look at what Professor Kotkin said: Under international law, signed by Moscow, all the treaties say that sovereign countries get to choose what alliances sovereign countries belong to. That means the Ukraine has the right to, say, join NATO if it wants to. Treaties like the UN Charter was signed by Russia. The 1975 Helsinki agreement was signed by the Soviet Union. The 1990 Charter of Paris for a new Europe was also signed by the Soviet Union. The 1997 NATO Russia Founding Act was equally signed by the Russian Government. All those documents were signed by either the Soviet Regime or the Russian regime, which is the legally recognized international inheritor i.e., successor of the Soviet State. The fact is those agreements are still in place and they clearly state that sovereign countries can freely choose their foreign policy and what alliances they want to join in and most of all it shows the illegality and hypocrisy of Vladimir Putin's invasion of the Ukraine. What the Ukraine war shows us is that Russia is an autocratic repressive regime that invades its neighbors in the name of its own security, but this nothing new in Russian history. The international rules-based world community is useless if some countries go it on their own.

Palky, I believe I have the best solution to a possible invastion of Taiwan from China. I am an artist and an inventor with no experience in politics or business, but here is how I see a win/win solution for everyone---with no loss of life on either side. What I think we have to usher in is a new era in resolving conflicts. What do I mean by that? I mean this; we have our history books filled with conflicts from Atilla the Hun or ancient Egypt to the present. World War II saw 1, 600 or more villages, towns and cities destroyed in World War II. Imagine the sensenseless loss of innocent civilians let alone the tens of thousands allied and enemy troops maimed or wounded or killed. What is my solution for the Taiwan problem. Let's usher in the new era of conflict resolution this way: when or if China does send troops, fighter planes, bombers, hypersonic missles at China, Taiwanese soldiers should throw down their weopons. Taiwanese fighter planes, soldierls, sailors, warships should not fire a bullet or missile or anything at the invading forces. This time we resolve a conflict by letting the aggressors come and in take over and set up their own government without resistence. Why do this? Because it will save countless innocent lives on both sides of the conflict. But; here is how we win: we set up Taiwan/China departments in all of our country's governments and we start working for a peaceful solution to having China leave the occupied Taiwan. We don't stop until it's done and if it takes a century so be it. We must leave in the past armed conflict as a way to settle disputes. History is replete with the terrible consequences of every armed conflict. We must usher in a new era for our progeny. Let the 2020s be known as the last armed response to invasions. Let Russia invade and take over Ukraine; there are so many ways we can peacefully arrange for Russia to leave Ukraine. Social media is one very powerful weapon. We can use social media for example, to shame the deranged Taliban leaders from their despicable treatment of women. We can put up life-long battles until human decency is returned to countries that have been taken over by hostile forces. Let's go down in history as the generation who changed how international conflicts are resolved. What a great thing to leave our progeny: peaceful means to resolve seemingly intractable problems. We must end using weapons of war to get results; everyone loses when gun diplomacy is used to resolve conflicts.
