The Ukraine conflict has become both extremely honourful for Ukraine, and at the same time shows the ambiguity of the Western alliance.
I have, from the start, called for diplomacy, but I understand, that the Ukrainian people and leadership fight for their freedom.
I hope, that, somehow, peace will come. The price in human cost is mounting, and those fathers not coming back from war, will never be replaced.
So, full respect for the Ukrainians, they have deserved the honour and respect from the world, as they have won. With that, also support in many, many forms.
The question remains, should the west enter the conflict? Well, we have entered already. But we have, so far, left out direct involvement. Especially air support is needed by the Ukrainians, and honestly, if there was something we SHOULD give the Ukrainians, it should be air support.
At the other hand, we have in the the West, become united for a cause, that is a new normal. The beautiful thing about it, is the fact, that it calls to the best in ourselves. Unity, freedom, solidarity. What we are, when we are at our best.
We should remember this lesson, and build on that. No more control of the population, just be ourselves, and invest in that vibe of French/American revolution.
Investment calls for more arms. I mean, it should be pretty clear, that we need to be able to defend ourselves.
Also it calls for a focus on independence in terms of energy consumption.
We need to able to make our own energy.
Combine this with an investment in green tech, we can actually use this terror, to propel ourselves in a positive direction.
We need to get the power to x system up and running. And build energy production, that can fuel our economies.
It will take a little while, but we are getting there. With the right kind of attention, in ten, twenty years, we will be independent in terms of energy production.
To explain. The new power to X tech, can take any electrical energy source, and make any kind of fuel. Fuel for sailing, driving and making things in industry. You can take atomic energy, windmills, solar panel created energy, and make it into fuel.
We also need to be honest about the threat of internal infiltration of islamists. Still a problem at large in most of Western Europe, and we NEED to face it.
So, if we use this kick in the behind in a constructive way, we can propel ourselves out of the quagmire. We need to be independent in terms of energy, and we need to be much, much stronger in terms of military prowess.
It will cost us, but it is necessary.
G-d bless the will to look things squarely in the eyes, and act for liberty, humanity and brotherhood.
