テーマは：社会善！社会を改善して・・・世界を救おうことだね・・・

言葉の勉強、課題の勉強、社改善、世界を救うことを

一緒に頑張っていきましょうか？

1.

This is monstrous. Putin is now up with Hitler (and perhaps: with the Japanese Imperial army in WWII….if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it). He has to be stopped, though it’s not clear how:

The West can’t intervene directly, partly because Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but mainly because NATO vs Russia would be a world war, and Putin has nuclear weapons (which he appears ready to use)

So the best chance is internally: either a coup d’etat (or assassination), and/or a popular uprising within Russia...the war, and Putin, are deeply unpopular, and now with sanctions biting the economy is tanking…..

 

In the meantime the people of Ukraine are showing the entire world the meaning of the word bravery: a week ago they were just normal working people, now they are carrying guns, ready to fight and die. 18….my students are 18….And their president Zelenskiy is a hero, staying to fight when offered a flight out...THIS is a leader.

 

 

2.

But this is not a “Putin evil Us good” situation. This is “Putin evil Us still very bad” situation:

The US dropped 7,000 bombs a year and has bases across the world (including in Okinawa). . The US and the UK invaded Iraq.

We in the West care about war when it’s in Europe but not in Africa: is this racism? It matters when it’s white people???

Europe has funded Putin’s Russia by buying its gas and oil….the UK Tory party is funded by Russian billionaires (brexit)

We in Japan and Okinawa have used the oil and gas that drives war across the world to fuel our consumer economies: Okinawa likes to think of itself as a victim (and it IS) but it is also a perpetrator: our car society runs on oil, our clothes and phones are made in sweatshops….we are not innocent.

And all of those fossil fuels are directly causing global warming, which is going to lead to MORE war as the climate collapses. Climate collapse will lead to social collapse. Look at Ukraine: this is the future of our world. At some point in the next decade or three YOU are going to be hungry, and exhausted, and perhaps holding a gun in fear of invaders….UNLESS we change our society into a sustainable one...
