Something needs to be done now not later when everyone is gone.

You need to take Russia out of the UN security council for the time of their invasion. Which of the country started the invasion, that country need to be out at that time. They have no right to vote, you need to kick them out of the United Nations organization right away.

Why is this still happening in the world? How can we become a people of peace?

[johnnytukijaumejackson]

I don't understand, they don't send photos and videos to their relatives and friends in Russia?? there has to be a way to get real images of what is happening in Ukraine 🇺🇦

[olaojomo]

I just wonder at what point a war crime becomes a genocide, anyone with a straight answer?

I live in Ukraine, Kharkiv
Now we need not only defensive type of weaponry but a lot of assault type of it.
We need tanks, artillery cannons, mid-range rockets to sink russian warships in Odessa and Mariupol region.

Every day and every night we're being shelled by russians. Just one month ago I couldn't tell one type of artillery from another now I can do it by ear. I can't describe the whole horror of a russian aircraft flying above your house bombing the city....
And I will remember early morning of 24 February forever when I heard those loud bangs of first assaults and understood we're being attacked....

I have never seen this guy Joshua Johnson before; what an excellent Newsman!
His coverage included quick concise questions that got to the heart of the matter. He lets his commentators speak. Excellent analysis of the question/topic at hand; Joshua you are great! Really good coverage and coordination of your reporting. You are going to be a major news anchor (I guess you are one now, Duh!).

[gandolph]

Joshua Johnson has a professional and personable interview style.
He asks questions, allows guests to speak, and does not interrupt.
Very professional. Always a pleasure to follow (since his NPR days).

World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us

We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.

This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.

The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.

It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.

The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.

Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.

The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.

Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.

In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.

Ukraine exemplifies the fight for freedom. They will succeed because they are adaptive, creative, and caring. Ukraine is the embodiment of freedom and grit over oppression and tyranny. The world is in their debt for their heroic efforts against 21st century barbarism.
