Two articles in today's Wall Street Journal gave me some history on the war situation over in the Ukraine. This war is mostly over political values and morality (says the WSJ) with territorial goals being secondary. Russia hates the values of the WEST and the Russian Orthodox Church is totally behind this war as they view it as a play on their morality and their spiritual heritage.
The Orthodox Church in Ukraine has the opposite point of view on this war situation. This shows the reality of a spiritual, metaphysical, ideological war at the core of this war. If I am right on this idea, then there is NO SOLUTION to this war without a new political model for both Nations. This model must address these spiritual/ideological issues at the core. The current ideological polarization between the WEST and the EAST is at the core of this war situation. We need to new leaders who can discern the core problem!
Russia has a set of political and moral values that they desire for their people. Ukraine has similar (but different). Russia views the expansion of NATO to their borders as a serious 'security' issue'. Ukraine views their nation as desiring democracy for the whole territory. Moral values are ignored as this war situation continues to grow. At some point Russia must try to win this war with more troops and destruction. Ukraine must do the opposite and try to win with destruction of Russia's political system.
The core moral values or each nation are temporarily being ignored and this means there is NO solution to this war as of now. We need NEW leaders who can discern the core problem. The problem is 'ideological', 'metaphysical', 'spiritual'. This type of problem must be addressed if any solution is to emerge down the road. This is unlikely to happen with Biden and Putin at loggerheads over their military issues. We need NEW leaders who understand the core PROBLEM.
My sense is that Russia will add to their mobilization and try to win the war on the ground. Ukraine will do the opposite as they try to counter this mobilization from Russia. This mindset leads to HUGE killing of innocent citizens and total destruction of the infrastructure within Ukraine (and also possibly within Russia). The mindset of Biden/Putin can not produce any real solution to this war situation. We need NEW leaders who THINK differently!
Biden and the WEST desire a Uni-polar world with ONE hierarchy in control of the planet. Putin and Xi and the EAST think differently. The EAST wants a Multi-polar world system. Neither of these options can work as the PROBLEM is ideological, metaphysical, spiritual. We need the KINGDOM of GOD as the final solution. Our Creator is behind both the Russian value system and the Ukraine value system. New thinking is needed so that a WIN/WIN outcome emerges. The current model is WIN/LOSE!
There is really only ONE solution to this Ukraine War situation. We need a world which bows to our CREATOR as KING over all POWER centers. Biden, Putin, Xi, and the others must step down from their POWER centers. Might makes Right is the goal of our political leaders. This mindset can not work given the core moral problem at the foundation of this war. We need NEW leaders who can discern the problem and deal with the problem. We the people must try to educate these political leaders on the REAL issue!
Prepare for a bigger mobilization on the Russian side in 2023 (that seems evident). We might see a similar attempt on the Ukrainian side (with the USA sending more military weapons to challenge Russian weapons). Neither of these options will SOLVE the war situation. It can only lead to MORE destruction and death. Until the core of the PROBLEM is understood nothing meaningful can happen. My sense is that the existing crop of leaders can do nothing POSITIVE to end this conflict.
Think for yourself! I am preparing for more destruction on both sides going forward. This is a SAD commentary! We need to educate our political leaders so they DISCERN the real issues behind this war situation. Biden and Putin are mere PUPPETS who promote a FAILED model of thinking. Their model is MIGHT makes RIGHT! Shame on them is my response! Think for yourself on all these issues!
