Joni was on Viber on March 11th. A Ukrainian telecom operator has stopped working in Donbas, so it is impossible to call him in Chernihiv. I tried to call via Skype - at first there were beeps, as if he did not pick up the phone (calls from Skype are displayed on the mobile phone as a hidden number). Yesterday Skype said that the subscriber is not available.
I really hope that everything is fine with Joni and his daughter, and that it’s just a lack of electricity, communication or a dead battery. However, Skype cannot be called a reliable means of communication.
I watch on the news how, as a result of fierce battles, Mariupol turns into ruins. And how did Kherson manage to avoid huge human and material losses, which was very quickly captured by Russian troops.
Chernihiv, Kharkov and Kyiv also strongly resist, like Mariupol …
I watched a speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger - it’s like advising people to stop an avalanche. However, I myself could not figure out how to stop the war …
But in all human conflicts there is a common foundation - Pride. It is she who starts the wars, it is because of her that people cannot stop them.
What significant results will this war have? Alley of Angels! As it already is in Donetsk, now, unfortunately, it will be in every city of Ukraine.
The key point is that Vitaly signed the contract because there was no other job in Nikolaev. And so it is in many cases. But why do people still not choose agriculture as a job???
Just yesterday I learned about the American Homestead Act. This is a great way to make poor people very wealthy. Bravo!
Maybe this would prevent many wars? Maybe simple labor on one’s own land, for the sake of one’s relatives and for the sake of future generations of one’s descendants, can temper human pride? Or, at the very least, give people money so that they don’t have to sign military contracts.
Or am I being too naive?
