Are we truly heading for war? The Ukraine war is such a horrible disaster that we must think seriously about how to get back to peace and stability. Reading Roman history during the Christmas
January 02,2023 - 08:00 AMThe Ukraine war is such a horrible disaster that we must think seriously about how to get back to peace and stability.
These symptoms all show up in the Ukraine war, with the complex internal civil conflict between Catholic Ukrainians and Russian-speaking Ukrainians drawing in intervention by the Great Powers. The old dictum of seeking peace by preparing for war does not mean that you go all out to provoke each other at every opportunity. That path sacrifices truth, trust, and cooperation. Global cooperation is vital to deal with universal threats such as climate warming, global inequalities in health and wealth, and failing states. Most global citizens prefer peace to cope with their daily needs of food, health, security, and jobs.
In this age of anger and anxiety, wiser statesmen should steer us toward peace and rationality, rather than trying to divert that emotional energy toward war.
