"To Russia With Love"

   “As you sow, so shall you reap.” – King James Version of the Bible, Epistle to the Galatians, 6:7.  This blog is probably the last place you would expect to see the Bible quoted.  But this concept is the essence of a properly functioning justice system.  That just system does not take place on our planet.  To the greedy goes the wealth.  To the selfish goes the power.  “No good deed goes unpunished.” – Satire, but too often true. 

  Each day on the news I see the death and destruction that the Russian military is bringing down on Ukraine.  The people of the Ukraine did nothing to earn this.  It is one man’s decision, Vladimir Putin.  He pretty much stands alone.  This is obvious from the photo of him at one end of a thirty foot table, with his advisors grouped at the other end.  There was no popular desire in Russia to annihilate a small neighboring country.  The resulting deaths are young Russian men and Ukrainians of all description.  War is insanity.  So in our imaginary just world, what should Putin reap?  The answer is fairly obvious.

   The obvious solution needs to take place within Russia.  If it comes from the United States or any other nation, it may well precipitate a world war.  More unnecessary deaths of innocents.  Russia needs to put their own mad dog down.  Hopefully a person of greater wisdom would replace him.  They couldn’t possibly do worse.  With a satellite guided surgical drone strike by the US this could easily be accomplished, but again, that isn’t an ideal solution.  No, a Russian patriot needs to step up and save their nation.  The Russian action in Ukraine has already gone way too far.  No reparations can repay that little nation adequately.  But Russia can try.

  I have stated in an earlier blog that “There are no perfect solutions in this imperfect world.”  All that we have available to us is the best solutions.  The killing of a human being seems never to be justified, but in this case it may be the best solution to halting an unpopular insanity.

  To the Russian Avenger (hero), “Put on your cape and off to the sky.” And if you die, it will not have been in vain.  Long live Russia.

Dear President Vladimir Putin,                                                                                   March 26, 2022

You have lived a good life, but your recent decisions have cost countless innocent lives.  Stand up for Russia and lie down.  In your brave act of suicide with honor, you will save the life of a Great Russian hero, your would-be assassin and perhaps you will save the world.

Sincerely, Old Buz   iambloggerbuz.blogspot.com
