Blaming the Russian soldiers for the war has no meaning; most are not even real soldiers; they are men with weapons. These new soldiers are more dangerous to the civilian population than any enemy. These expendable soldiers will be used in the most hazardous places with little to no help for the Russian army. Most of these men and most of the Russian military seem to have no will to bring on this fight. The top leadership and the officers are leading an ill-equipped army, and to fighting a well-armed army of Ukraine, is failing badly.

I am torn between the wasted money of fighting another European war, even if it is mainly money and equipment at this moment in time.. The defeat of Russia does nothing to the nuclear war supplies and future endeavors using these weapons. I fear that the more we have these countries that are armed with nukes like North Korea, maybe shortly Iran, leaders like Putin, that have only their decision to be made to use, will do just that.

I have stated many times peace will only come to the world when mothers decide they will not allow their children to go to war. Just imagine all the women in Russia marching in the streets demanding their sons and daughters be brought back home. I can tell you first hand their is no glory for the soldiers, it is survival. Medals and accolades of greatness is to sell the death of some mothers son or daughter. This is not to say there are not heroes , most heroes will tell anyone that listens the situation they overcame.

In peace, sons bury their fathers. …
