  • Thanks for your reply. Although the slides above show a division within Ukraine caused by his history etc. This was ostensibly one country going to war against another for the should purpose it seems to occupy.

    In the case of the Israel/Palestine conflict, this was basically a terrorist group attacking Israel and now Israel retaliating over and above what should be considered acceptable.

    So why wouldn’t China be more or at least just as vocal in calling for a cease fire and return to normality. Which was the basis of my original question.

    I understand their are subtleties and many more parts at play, but let’s just say STOP to Israel and Russia.




  • Yeah I see what your saying and COVID did test us like never before but;

    -We had a nation blatantly allow their citizens to spread throughout the world (I assume because they were not wanting to admit they had a problem).

    -We had a somewhat coordinated effort (but was thwarted due to political gain/manouevering in a lot of countries).

    -I think the selfishness, at least in my country started pretty much straight away. And made it harder the whole way through.

    These points above, in my mind were enough to show me that we really can’t together when it counts. Another example is global climate change, we are staring that in the face and we still can’t get it together.

    I imagine seeing on the news NEWSFLASH: Aliens have arrived and seem threatening… We wold have;

    -One country trying to make friends with said aliens to gain an upper hand.

    -Another country trying to be the worlds hero and go it alone by attacking them.

    -Governments quickly trying to take their chance at gaining their last bit of control by clamping down on citizens.

    -Nations trying to help themselves only and foregoing other nations (eg. Yeah nuke that nation to save ours)

    I do hope we do better but past experience doesn’t give me hope.
