“And we are alive in amazing times
Delicate hearts, diabolical minds
Revelations, hatred, love and war
And more and more and more and more
And more of less than ever before
It’s just too much more for your mind to absorb
It’s scary like hell, but there’s no doubt
We can’t be alive in no time but NOW” – Mos Def – ‘Life in Marvellous Times’ (2008)
Things will only get worse before it get better.
A war that we’re seeing in Ukraine will not cause things to get greater. Instead, things will only become more hostile and dire. European Union (EU), Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has to act swiftly as a European sovereign nation is invaded by a hostile force, which happens to be the Russian Federation.
Things will not get better, soon. No, it will not. Not as long as the weapons are used and people are dying in a conflict, which has been ordered by one man and his tyranny. No, the time we are living in now. We are living in the effects of one man’s will over another nation.
This is Putin’s war and nobody else. Yes, he has army commanders and cronies who helps him. The oligarchy and grand supporters. Still, it is his decrees and orders, which is the reason behind the war in Ukraine.
We in Europe are seeing what is happening. It is happening so close to the shores of other European nations. The fear is spread in the Baltic nations, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. While Poland, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria and even Turkey will call this all out. As Ukraine is all surrounding them and the Russian warfare is getting close to home.
That’s why this is a dark time. It is only the moon on the sky and the rest of dwindling lights is going away. As lives are taken and innocent lives are touched by one man war against another.
We will see markets crashing, spikes in prices and collapses of businesses. We will hear of lacking cereals, lack of wheat and whatnot. The Ukrainian forces will be marginalized … and be brutally slaughtered to the Russian army.
Europe will be altered for decades because of this. This war will make the tables turn and people will suffer. Especially in the Ukraine, but also in Russia. The innocent civilians … are the ones who is losing here. The ones who get caught in cross-fire.
The Russian Federation has decided this path and now things will change elsewhere. People will take sides and the war will show, which sides you are on. This war isn’t only on the sovereignty of Ukraine, but on European values. That’s the bleak reality here. As Putin has decided to be the judge, jury and the executioner at the same time.
We are living in dark times and it’s not getting brighter. The light is dim. There is still hope, but we have to be unified against the forces, which comes with ill and stand up for the rights, liberties and freedoms of brothers who are under siege by invaders.
Putin does this, but we shouldn’t accept it… and neither should anybody else. Peace.
