Fancy speeches, written by professional speech writers...anyone can deliver them.
When though will the West be delivering more powerful weapons to Ukraine to stop the slaughter there by evil Russia?
I cannot understand why Putin would choose the path he has chosen, so much more can be gained from peace and teamwork and world trade than from war. We can be working together to cure Cancer, and we can do world trade, and our resources can go to advancements in society such as building schools and hiring teachers, and building libraries, etc. And like the Bible says they need to turn their weapons into plows and they need to grow food instead of fighting wars.
And instead of bringing our problems to strong men with guns, then we need to bring our problems to smart men with books and schools.
You cannot cure the bird flu and bring down the price of eggs with guns, Putin cannot bring down the price of eggs with war, but instead we need to bring our problems to the scientists at Vanderbilt University and the scientists at Vanderbilt can help to create a vaccine for the bird flu, and they can teach the egg farmers how to better farm eggs in order to avoid the chicken flu, etc.
Our guns can protect our scientists, but soldiers cannot replace scientists.
Not only should the scientists in the West oppose Putin and his war, but so too should the scientists in Russia and in Eastern Europe support peace, and we can all agree that we can better spend the money and hard work to advance humanity and to cure diseases and to train and teach new doctors, etc. Nothing good is coming from Putin and his war, all civilized people need to oppose Putin and his war.
I was born and raised out in the desert where all of the best defense items are invented and manufactured, and I was raised watching top secret fighter planes flying, and we can have peace through strength, but the ultimate goal must be peace, and we must have a good vision of the society that we want to live in, and we must work to create the society we want to live in. In the USA our role models were Athens, and Rome, who had great times of peace and prosperity and who invented democracy, etc. War in itself must not be the goal, but rather we must be strong so that we can have peace, and so that we can create our own path without being bullied and coerced by stronger men who want to control us. We must be strong so that we can have freedom, and so that we can live our own vision of what peace and society should look like.
We must paint a picture with our freedom of what a democratic nation looks like which will cause people in Russia and globally to want democracy and freedom. And with our freedom we need to have a nice loving society which is protected by men with guns but where being a superpower is a necessity and not a chosen goal.
Reagan believed that the World Wide Web would change the world, and that by putting Americans on the World Wide Web that it would cause a global revolution and a renaissance and would create a better world.
Trump is a scumbag who is greedy and who built a wall with Mexico, but Reagan made the Mexicans legal and Reagan loved the Mexicans. I do not support Trump, and Trump is not a real Republican. We need to look at Lincoln, and Reagan, when we look at Republicans. And Reagan hated walls. Reagan believed that Americans could make the world a better place if we have interaction between Americans and the rest of the world.
America is not a greedy, selfish country where we are all on our own, like Trump wants, but instead the USA is a Christian community where we have Brotherhood from sea to shining sea. We need Brotherhood instead of war. Like the hippies in the 1960s wanted, we need peace and brotherhood.
And right now the hippies can have egg farms and the hippies can help to bring down the price of eggs, the hippies can have big communes where they can sell eggs, and they can make and sell cheese, etc. Peace, love, and food for the people, can be the new motto for the modern hippies in 2023.
And we need to find allies in Russia who want a new and improved Russia and who want peace, and who want world trade, and who want to cure diseases, and who want to feed the people, etc, and we need to remove and replace Putin with civilized people who are on our team.
We also must support Mahlagha Jaberi and the Persians as they work to create a new Iran with good human rights and with good human rights for women, and without the savage Islamic regime in control. It is not enough to point guns at the bad guys, we need to have good people who we can support, like Mahlagha Jaberi.
Salute,
Tony V.
