Russia's attempted invasion of Ukraine has once again created a very clear dynamic of global conflict; citizens from all countries collaborating with eachother for peace while their governments throw violent tantrums at all their expenses. Once again we have been split into two- raging governments who love to play chess, and innocent civilians who want no part in the game.
There is solidarity from the civilians from Russian, Ukrainian, and Western Governments: the sharing of resources, emotional support, and a mutual fear of the fallout. Once again; there is more allegiance among We the Civilians then between a government and its residents.
I don't know why I'm bringing it up, to be honest. I suppose it just reinforces what we must all keep in mind; that our governments will say whatever they need to to make us believe that We, the Civilians, are each other’s enemy-but We are the only ones who have our own interests in mind.
Do not listen to the propaganda in the coming days- the lies they will say to divide our common goal of peace. Keep sharing resources, information, and offering mutual aid to eachother; both to Us in other countries, and to our own in local communities. We are the only ones who care about our needs, and We are eachother's only hope.
