  And so it is, that we do argue that we need to defend ourselves, but are constrained to attempt to do so by destroying the lives of others; even as they do contend that they must kill us and win the war in order to protect themselves from us.  So it is that, in order to be able to kill and maim us, they must make of us their enemies, even as we, in considering how they have attacked and are attacking us, must psyche up ourselves and perceive of them as our enemies.  Whether or not we are really able to convince ourselves that a people whom just yesterday were our friends, and/or just our neighbours, are now our enemies whom we must hate in order to kill them or just get used to killing our friends. So it is that, we, who do consider ourselves to be sane and more rational that our friends/'former friends' who want to destroy us over our politics and vision of the future and theirs.  Must also adopt seemingly similar insanity and skewed rationality in defending or seeking to de

  ' If war can ever be justified, arguably, it can mostly only be so on the basis of those who are being attacked, being justified in taking the necessary action to defend themselves. And as for the cost of war, it will always be too high for both the initiator and the defender,' Of course, such likely eventualities, the at times pointlessness of wars, the fact that today's reluctant enemies are likely to become friends tomorrow or at some point in the next generation or the ones after that.   The fact that trading between nations creates interdependence and promotes peace between them, are unlikely to prevent or abate Man's inherent episodic need or impulse to bring down destruction on our heads.  It would seem that we are no different from the tides of the sea at times.  That, whether we like it or not, we, us humans must bend and sway with the magnetic forces of the the lunar planets, the Moon, the Sun and the other planets and stars in our galaxy. Which is why our p

Is it about the leaders of West rethinking their Economic Siege on Russia, and finding another way, even if will not give them the impression of them 'doing something'? Is it about the West genuinely taking Russia's concerns about being enci
