“For all who take the sword will perish by the sword"

A reader of this blog posted a comment quoting the New Testament. It is a major dilemma that must face all pacifists. If the people of Ukraine had not opposed the Russian invasion what would have been the outcome? Most likely there would now be a puppet government in Kyiv, and as in Russia, people would be denied their freedom.

Had the Soviet Army not defended Stalingrad in 1942 what would have been the outcome?

Russia has broken international law.

If Russia feels it has an existential link with Ukraine could Poland or Germany not claim that Kaliningrad/Königsberg should return to its motherland?

The world is a fragile place and international borders should be respected.

Link below is worth a read.
