Phew. Thanks God no major war is under way. Only Europe’s by far bloodiest conflict since 1945, with millions of refugees, entire cities razed and hundreds of thousands of casualties.
I welcome the new decision of the board of the Nobel Foundation regarding the Nobel Prize award ceremony in Stockholm. The many and strong reactions show that the whole of Sweden unambiguously stand on Ukraine’s side against Russia’s appalling war of aggression.
It is the pro-Kremlin people who call for accepting Russia's illegal war and genocidal occupation. The people who actually care about Russia (including Russians) know that it has to lose.
Troubled by Ukrainians' ability to speak, IR scholars are frantically trying to reinstate their monopoly of knowledge about #RussiaUkraineWar. In the name of peace, this paper shows no regard for local voices, instead complaining about the silencing of Western 'peacenik' experts.
In this war Russia had two notable commanders (both also war criminals). One was relieved of duty and the other attempted a coup and was then murdered. Winning a war does not look like that.
Tell your friends about this today when you go to work.
Tell them to tell their political representatives. Tell the political representatives their attitude towards aid to Ukraine will reflect how you vote in the next election.
@DavidDeutschOxf Theories get chiseled by subsequent explanations, become clearer with time.
Additionally, paradigm shifts provide completely new ways to frame old theories.
