Certainly the only thing stopping Putin from invading other nations cannot just be brute force. We have to be higher evolved by now as a planet.
And Russia has to be higher evolved by now. As an actor I studied Russian acting teachers, etc. Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavski was great, and acting students continue to study his books, etc, and teachers teach his method. And there was Anton Chekhov and Michael Chekhov. Many great acting teachers from Russia have influenced modern film and television acting.
The Russians also have wonderful ballet.
And the Russians love Rock and Roll music from America. Jon Bon Jovi could do a sold out concert in Moscow right now and he could plead for the people of Russia to be peaceful and to promote peace.
It is good for people to be strong in order to avoid being invaded, and we have NATO, and the United Nations, and along with being strong we need to be civilized, and educated, and we need to rise to a higher level where we are peaceful because we are good peaceful people and not just because people are threatened by force.
The educated, civilized, cultured, peaceful people of Russia need to be in charge of Russia instead of ignorant uncivilized barbarians.
We need for the good people to rise to the top and lead so that we can have peace and prosperity.
And instead of wasting money on war, we can spend money to advance and to educate our people, and to help our homeless people, etc. And we can build high speed trains, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
