war and peace today

UN Secretary General António Guterres, confirmed this on February 6, ago The General Assembly of this body, that the conflict in Ukraine is getting bigger and no one seems to be worried about a credible negotiation proposal. He said: The prospects for peace continue to diminish.

The risks of further escalation and carnage continue to grow. And added: I am afraid that the world is moving forward asleep as if sleepwalking into war wider and I’m afraid I’m doing it wide-eyed. (See: https://www.dw.com/es/antonio-guterres-escalada-en-ukraina-leads-the-world-to-a-war-m%C3%A1s-wide/).

In the same sense, In his message on the first day of this year, Pope Francis warned: “All over the world, among all nations, the cry is: No war, no rearmament. Resources are allocated to development: health, food, education, work.” (See: https://www.vaticannews.va/es/pope/news/2023-01/ called-pope-francis-ukraine-war-peace.html

On another occasion he remarked: How do we understand this? If we think that the most important budget is the production of weapons, and yet, with one year of no weapons being produced, the problem of hunger in the whole world is solved.” (See: https://www.vaticannews.va / en/pope/news/2023-01/pope-it-seems-that-the-pain-that-a-war-leaves-is-still-not-understood .html) Therefore, the logical question that arises from In a similar situation is, why? Why does the logic of war prevail over the logic of peace, if all the main actors are aware that it is a dead end, or whose only way out, unimaginable to anti-humans, is the use of nuclear weapons and Armageddon to wipe out civilization as we know it? Why is the logic of death imposed and the logic of life annulled?

The reasons that create this tragic scenario are the following: a world hegemonic power, United States of America and Administration Biden, in particular, seems convinced that we must to bleed Russia as much as possible, even if it meant converting Ukraine in the true “arena of human flesh”, as various analysts of the conflict have characterized it.

The American administration is fully aware that it is impossible to defeat it Russia in this war, from Russia It is the largest nuclear power, with the largest number of nuclear missiles on the planet, with the capacity not only to destroy any country in the best Western style (as was done in In Iraq in 2003 or in Panama in 1999), but that the Russian government is based on the statements of its highest dignitaries President Putin and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lavrov expressed that if a situation of “existential threat” were to arise for Russia, it would use all its possibilities to oppose aggression. I repeat: the USA and its NATO allies know thisas well as recently rearmed forces to position themselves in the conflict, very significantly Germany and Japan.

Moreover, informed and influential people in the American orbit like today old Henry Kissinger and even former President Donald Trump They spoke out against the strategy of the Biden administration and the NATO hawks, as well as against the qualified votes of the North Atlantic military forces. At the European level, the most prominent voice of opposition was that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and, more recently, andPresident of Croatia Zoran Milanović, who this Monday, February 6, described this war as Armageddon, and military aid to Ukraine as “extending the agony” of the Ukrainian population. This contrasts with the hysteria of the governments of the Baltic countries and Poland – Moscow’s traditional opponents – joined by Finland and Sweden, moving away from their traditional neutrality and becoming the other choruses of war.

On the other hand, the negotiations are currently disrupted because the only credible actor in mediation, President of Türkiye (Turkey), Tuyyip Erdogán, He was devastated by the tragedy of the biggest earthquake that devastated his country and Syria since the 1930s. And another actor, with enough weight and credibility to guarantee agreements Russia, China andyou are in the crosshairs Biden administration. He was much more realistic, wiser and pragmatic The Latin American position, led by Brazilian President Lula Da Silva which promotes the initiative for total peace with the support of governments Colombia, Argentina and Mexico.

Extreme warmongering logic is configured within the current Strategic Concept of the Atlantic Alliance – no longer defensive – but extremely warmongering, which openly stated: the enemy today is Russia, but the strategic opponent is People’s Republic of China. Such an explicit statement appears in a document approved in Madrid in December 2022, where “partners” participated for the first time as Japan, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea; and was repeatedly used by General Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary of NATO. (See with profit: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/06/29/fact-sheet-the-2022-nato-summit-in-madrid/) So today? war or peace? So far: war, war, war!
