Hospital Hit

Yesterday I learned that a Maternity hospital was hit in a missile strike in Ukraine. At first I thought it was a missle glitch, later I learned that they were targeting the premises deliberately; the Russian military claim it was no longer an active hospital but was used as a military base. 

I'm my view, it was a very shocking thing to learn about. Infants are blameless, they don't even know what war is. The infants in the hospital are probably all new born babies. It is the last place anyone would want to be hit by missiles. 

Perhaps the people of Ukraine will teach the world a lesson. If they have guns and their mind set on remaining an independent nation, they will succeed and drive away the Russians. I wish them all good luck. It would be nice if everyone just sits down for a few days and works out a peace treaty that the two nations can sign and the war will be over. It is ordinary people that are suffering. 

Russia Sanctions

I don't like the idea of placing sanctions on Russia. The people in Russia that would be affected the most would be ordinary Russian people that never appeared to be interested in this war with Ukraine. We are all connected so the sanctions will effect everyone, it will affect us as well I think. I wonder if sanctions actually work. I wonder. 

We are already facing inflation of cost . I don't know much about what causes inflation. I imagine the national banks are pressured to print money to ease payments but then the added money dilutes the value of the whole currency, that would be inflation. I also think if supply chains were slowed down or interrupted, that would make all the goods more expensive because speed and quantity of supply are key to cost. We just had a Pandemic so I imagine both of those things are happening, quantative easing (printing money) and a slump in supplies. I would call it a potent-inflation or post Pandemic inflation. I love making up my own words. 

Russian Invasion

During the winter months there was a build-up of Russian troops and military vehicles at the border with Ukraine. During this last third of February we learned that they weren't playing a game, they invaded the country. I believe the goal of invasion is to topple the current Ukrainian government and prop up a new government that isn't aligned to the west and NATO; a government that is more like Belarus I think. I think it will lead to civil war in the area in the future because the world view of all the people are different. 

I condemn all conflicts and military incursions in this world. I hope they can resolve their issues quickly and with very few deaths.

I saw a video of a tank running over a moving car on the road in the Ukraine, was that an accident? Was the tank deliberately trying to kill the civilian? I don't know, maybe the tank was trying to get a different target and hit the car by mistake. It was very painful to watch. 

Russian Ukrainian Operation

In recent days, the Russian government has recognised rebel held territory in East Ukraine as independent states and has sent their military in as peace keeping forces they claim. Many NATO nations have reacted by imposing economic sanctions on Russia. The problem with sanctions is you hurt yourself as well. The Russians are supplying us with a lot of oil and natural gas. We are already facing price inflation. Everything costs more at the moment. 

The only thing that is going down in price that I know of is High Capacity Batteries. The High Capacity Batteries we use today are made with Lithium and Cobolt. Lithium is a semi rare metal that floats on water and burns when it touches water. Most of the Lithium in the world is dissolved in the Ocean water. I think that Lithium isn't synthesized by the fusion in stars, instead it is created by powerful radiation hitting other elements when stars explode, I think that is why it is so rare. I think they use electrolysis on sea brime to extract it. 

When we recycle old batteries, we are increasing the Lithium supplies and bringing down the cost of producing it. The faster we make high capacity batteries the cheaper they become and eventually electric Cars will be cheaper than fuel Cars. At the moment they are a lot more expensive. 

NATO and Russia

In my view, there is no East or West on a Sphere like Earth unless you draw a line on it. Well, it turns out the line we used to mark east and west on Earth is Turkey, Syria and nearby Israel, the center of the world defined by people of this time.  Turkey is taking action in Syria because they share a border with Syria and they are a military giant in NATO.

We now have a situation where the Eastern powers and NATO are separated by hills. A wrong move could cause world war 3 so communication between the so called east and west is essential.

What a world we live in. No oneness, peace and no vision for mankind.

Russian Fire

Earlier in the week a supermarket in Russia burned up. I feel sad because being burned to death is the most violent way a human can die in this world. Every nerve ending in the person's body maxes out on pain and every cell is eventually destroyed.

My thoughts are about hell when these things happen. In Christianity and Islam and the Jewsish faith, they teach about eternal punishment for people that lived a bad life or turned away from the creator.

I learned that when people go to hell they are burned in torment forever. To me this is not fair because our life is short but hell is eternal. Why should a person be burned in hell forever when their life is so short. The deeds of just 20 years of life could be punished for thousands of years. This doesn't make sense to me.

Afterlife is such a mystery to me. I hunger for knowledge like I hunger for food. Sometimes the hunger for insight is more than the hunger for food.

This blog entry is not mocking the creator but asking for insight. It is a genuine request for understanding about life and death and all the mysteries that come with it.

I send my love to all those families in Russia that lost loved ones.

Peace..

Salisbury poisoning

At the start of the month a former spy of the Soviet Union and his daughter was poisoned by a nerve toxin that is developed by Russia.

The UK government was quick to blame the Russian government for the attack but the British community remember the Iraq war cries at the turn of the millennium so many of us didn't want to jump to conclusions.

I can't help but think the attack was personal because the Russian spy was a double agent and caused many Russian agents to be imprisoned in the UK. I think that a disgruntled agent made the poison in his home because the poison is designed to be made with ordinary ingredients that can be bought in a shop. Many agents would know the ingredients to the poison. The traditional poison used by Russia is usually radioactive or Risin because it continues to poison your tissues until it is removed or you die so it is more effective.

Based on my limited knowledge of the case I would say the poison was made inside in the UK in the home of an agent. However, I am not saying the President Putin is not connected to it. Perhaps he likes it when "accidents happen to traitors" so to speak. But I chose to keep a hung verdict.

My hope is that the UK and Russia put their differences behind them and learn to be Brothers in toil. That is my dream, I want Russia and UK to be friends and connect through trade and progress and to be a peaceful family on this continent. 

My world so far

One role that I feel I should take up for the rest of this decade and the twenty-twenties decade is to observe my reality and record it. If I am lucky I will get an engraving machine and cut my writings into metal or stone plates that could be stacked into an obelisk and show future generations what life is like for an ordinary man and what ordinary people think.

In this time, people's skills are still required but they are slowly being replaced by machines. I don't know if it is just me that thinks this but I'm sure that machines don't buy things. I live in a capitalist society that relies on consumers buying things. If all people's jobs are replaced by machines then there are no consumers and no business. The action of businesses automating everything could only lead to their end. One system could thrive in a maximum automation society and that is communism. Money is worthless if it is not circulated so a society with no Jobs can't be a capitalist one in my opinion because people won't buy many things if they don't have a job.

The governments of the world are very hostile to other places and they have powerful weapons that can be used however they don't represent humanity because almost all people on earth have no desire for war. When I talk to other people I ask their opinion about other societies I get the same response, we don't view other people in other places as enemies.

The media and news make the Russians and North Koreans look like evil despots but people like me have no hate or bad views of these communities. I have no hate for North Koreans or Russians. I see them as my brothers and sisters.

I hope I can stick with this project and record history throughout the twenty-twenties, twenty-thirties and beyond.

Russia and Turkey

Today a Russian diplomat was shot in Turkey. The guy that shot him shouted out Aleppo the name of the city that was attacked recently.

Many people here in the UK dislike Russia and see them as a very dangerous country with the ability to cause a global nuclear war. I see things differently, I see Russia as a country filled with people like me, people that want to live and learn more. People that wonder what the meaning of life is. People that are not interested in war and are without blame. To me the people of Russia are my brothers and sisters on the other side of the continent and for that reason I have no hard feelings towards them.

I feel that the whole planet is filled with blameless people that have no harmful intentions. It is the people at the top that play the cards.

With hope and good planning I think the people of Earth may avoid wars. There are many things to do on this planet. We need to cure our diseases and stop being a disease to the Earth. And we need the ability to leave Earth if it becomes a hazard zone.

There are so many discoveries to make and so many things to do that I wonder where we find the time to hate at all.
