Ukraine & Russia conflict… 302 days later

Russia Ukraine 302 Days later – Half Life Crisis www.halflifecrisis.com

On February 22, 2022 the Russian military crossed the border into Ukraine.  This war has killed innocent Ukrainians for 302 days with no end in sight.

 

The human toll.

I remember it almost as if it was yesterday. My ship, USS COLE DDG 67 was deployed in the Middle East.  During those days, the looming possibility of Russia possibly crossing into Ukraine seemed inevitable. Back then, a few weeks before the conflict started the official world from Russia was that this military operation was not going to happen. But little by little the official rhetoric kept indicating otherwise. Plenty of people really believed it could happen, not a matter of if but when. However, I also remember reading news from countries all over the world thinking that this military operation was not going to happen at all.

Well, the latter segment was wrong! On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces crossed into Ukraine. I remember being woken up in the middle of the night by one of my colleagues when this conflict started. I promptly got up and start learning more about it. I was not surprised, this movement seemed to be telegraphed for years. There were plenty of rhetoric, news headlines, the way politics around the globe had played out. When you see it in hindsight it makes perfect sense how these pieces came together – though you can disagree with the reasoning behind the actions. I personally do not agree with the taking by force of any sovereign territory.

By the time this article got typed on December 23, 2022, Ukraine and Russia have been fighting for 9-months, 4-weeks, and 1 day. That’s 302 days since this conflict started. How much pain and destruction had occurred since the beginning of this so called “Special Military Operation” as officially designated by Russia, or a “war” as officially designated by Ukraine. In fact, reportedly it was illegal to call it a “war” in Russia, and people did get arrested for called it such. Though their president called it a “war” at least a couple of times in public addressed. Semantics.

For the sake of a baseline, let’s set the conceptualization straight. In any high-profile military armed conflict there is an aggressor and a defender. Who is who, will depend on what side of the equation the adversaries are been assigned to perform their military duties. In other words, each adversary will place the blame on the opposing party. No surprise there.

In this article I am not going to address who’s at fault or who’s right on this conflict. I’m sure you have your opinion on that. Just like I am. However, stating my opinion could immediately alienate a dissenting view, therefore making this article a moot point.

I’m more interested in exploring the human factor in this equation. Why? Because in the “fog of war” there will be a lot emotion, and it does not matter what evidence or narrative I can point to make one point or the other, there is a visceral response on both sides. And the catalysts for these responses will be prompted by a myriad of sentiments. All of which are so dynamic and complex that it would be even unfair trying to generalize, or even pick a few anecdotal examples as though it would be an empirical fact for the overall representation. With that said, we can very well explore the common denominator into what is obvious to the world. That’s that we are all human, and as unique as we all are, there are many things that makes us more similar than different from one another. Keep reading to find out how this tie into the overall context.

A war is ultimately fought by people. Some people will be in commanding positions away from the “action,” others will be in the battlefield. The difference is that not every person who finds themselves in any of those positions are necessarily “wanting to be there” in the first place. Particularly to those in the battlefield. And on the opposite side of the dichotomy, some people in charge are not fit for a leadership position. Yet, they all find themselves in wherever position they got assigned.

There will be people who believe in the cause, some who are fighting for their lives (defenders), some who do not believe in the cause, and some who are stuck somewhere in the middle of any of those variables. In fact, as I mentioned people are complex and this mind-shifting will be dynamic. Some people who deeply believed in a cause might very well feel disillusioned if they figure out that they were fighting for what they come to later define as a falsehood.

 

War Crimes

According to many different reporting sources, there have been horrific war crimes committed by both Russian and Ukrainian forces. There is something that is known as the rules of war. Which in reality is a bit of an oxymoron – because there could be a lot of casualties and heinous extermination of human lives… but if they fall under certain purview then it is not technically considered a “crime.” I won’t go through all those rules, but essentially it states that if an adversary is capable of defending themselves and they perish during conflict then it is technically not criminal. By the way, a preempted attack could very well also be considered a criminal act of war. Yes, I am oversimplifying. You’re very welcome to read the resources pertaining to the rules of war.

In broad strokes, what could be then described as a war crime is when an abuse of power against defenseless civilian and military forces occurs. Abuse of power is a very vanilla term for an extremely wide range of actions that could happen against a person or a group of people. This non-exhaustive list includes but it is not limited to: The indiscriminate killing of civilians, the dehumanization of people, raping, pillaging, torture, destruction of private property, humiliation that robs a person from their dignity and humanity, summary executions, intimidation and coercion, etc.

The fact is that people when they are angry, they can escalate to display some of the most barbaric instincts into a very violent frenzy. But that usually happens when their adversary is no longer considered a human being. Instead, this savagery happens if this person being attacked in the other side of the equation becomes a symbol of their discontent. Discrimination, racism, subjugation becomes so much easier to misguided people when they consider that “other person” inferior in any way. Yes, generally the aggressor would consider the victim inferior in some way, and they would rob this person of their humanity.

This descending into war criminality does not happen overnight. A divisive narrative, fearmongering, rhetoric, cultural shifts among other psychological methods will paint a picture that casts a perceived adversary in the light somebody with an agenda wants to push. Read that again.

What does that mean? Somebody will use the support of like-minded people to carry on an agenda. This normally only occurs if this person on the top has a large enough platform to push their rhetoric. Some of this will resonate loud and clear to the followers, some might fall flat. But little by little, somebody will agree and eventually push this rhetoric into action. Some of the most influential dictators and strong men did not start with a strong platform. However, little by little their ideas were taking refuge in the minds of people who were ready to receive this message.

And “ready to receive” is another loaded term. Why? Because most people do not originally “simply” follow people who end up becoming an authoritarian. Generally, functional people prefer not to do undue harm onto others. Instead, however, they “believe” the words of an authoritarian – just the parts the authoritarian let the people actually hear, and censors whatever is not convenient. If a person is already pre-disposed to a bias, then some of these narratives will find a very fertile ground. The minds of those who want to believe will double down on their own heads, and from there it will go all to their hearts. Once it gets there – to the heart, even if misguided – it is very hard to get it out, because by now the rationality has been overtaken by emotions, and this is the visceral response I was speaking of before.

So, who’s vulnerable to that? All of us… it’s a human trait. In this case, it does not matter if your Russian, Ukrainian or any other nationality. We all have biases, every last one of us. Some of us might be able to control these biases, police ourselves and raise above some or most of them. But the hard part I trying to go above a bias if we have not realized we had a bias at all. That’s where influential people (for good or bad) thrive.

When it comes to authoritarians throughout history, they all galvanized support based on a bias. As I said before, they would feed that bias by shoring cherry picked information that is beneficial to them, and censoring anything that goes against that agenda. Remember, a leader is only as strong as his or her followers. And I stablished before, some of the followers might be willful volunteers, some might somehow find themselves in that situation. Put a pin on that last sentence, it will come to play later in this article.

 

Let’s talk about the Ukraine side of the story

In the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, we see many of these misunderstood factors in motion – however, the original motivations are from very different perspectives. Let’s start with Ukraine. Ukrainians, despite any narrative to the contrary were the ones who had a different nation crossing into their borders with military force. Even if you agree to Russia’s perception or justification it does not change the fact that it was the Russian military who crossed the border, not the other way around. And for context, Ukraine has a very deep historical connection with Russia since well before ethe time of the Czars. In fact, Kiev at some point in history was a Russian’s Capital. But eventually these became distinct countries.

We have to realize that the way lines in the map look today is not at all how they always looked. In fact, Russia and eventually the Soviet Union had very different borders than what we see today. But it was not until the Soviet Union collapsed in the 90’s that many former Soviet territories became independent. Ukraine is one of those territories. Ukraine is a gigantic country that was in fact the frontier between modern day Russia and the rest of NATO.

With this deep history of Russian influence, it is not surprising that Ukraine will have a lot of ethnic Russians living within Ukraine. Though the official narrative from Russia has been evolving (for a lack of a better term) since the time this conflict started in February 2022, the original premise was a “liberation” of Russian people in the Donbass region, which is a sizable portion of Eastern Ukraine bordering Russia. This was not the first time Russia had crossed into Ukraine, something similar happened in the Crimea peninsula in the southern part of Ukraine in 2014. Though Russia’s official narrative is that there were no military people from Russia involved, even though there were literally thousands of military personnel wearing no insignia that occupied that territory. Despite any controversy this operation might have caused in the world stage, there were a lot of ethnic Russians living in Crimea, therefore Russia was not met with the same overwhelming force as it has been the case in the Donbas area.

Are there a whole bunch of ethnic Russians in the Donbas area? Absolutely, a lot of them.  Are many of those very much onboard with being part of Russia and not Ukraine? Again, yes… as a matter of fact that was likely one of the key factors that Russia perceived as they prepared to take over this area. Much like it happened in Crimea. But this time it was very different… Though a very sizable part of the Donbas population was onboard with turning this part of Ukraine to” Russia,” there was another very sizable part of residents who were totally against that. And of course, between the nays were also for the rest of Ukraine. In either case, simply crossing a border does not automatically change the sovereignty of a nation.

For us to understand this, we also have to understand the cultural differences between people in Ukraine and Russia – or any other culture for that matter. National identity will become an important factor on people’s lives. Even if they don’t agree with everything that is going on in their own land, most people do not want to get an external force to impose their laws. People in Ukraine despite any narrative to the contrary had been experiencing a living hell since the beginning of the conflict. Millions of refugees fleeing, entire cities and critical infrastructure destroyed, mass graves, raping, pillaging, execution of civilians with their hands bound, knees shot and back of the head shots. Is that an official Russian official directive? Or the abuse of power is directed by somebody in the front lines – who is dehumanizing people?

I’ve mentioned before that the world is not a place where roses and lullabies are the only realities. There is a very dark side to humanity. Despite the official directives from the Kremlin -whatever those are, the soldiers who are in the front lines will act in one way or the other. Some might be intrinsically good people; some might be terrible people who believe they have card-blanche to do whatever they want. That latter is not legal. And I am sure that the Kremlin understands that, and I want to believe that there is some level of internal accountability to those responsible for committing war crimes.  I know that in the U.S. we take that very seriously and even if a military member’s accountability does not make the headlines, we are very strict about ensuring we abide by the rules, and these rules also include treating people with dignity. Even if we don’t personally like the adversary or are angry at them in the middle of a conflict.

Likewise, I am hoping that there is also a level of accountability for Ukrainian forces if they indeed perpetrated any war crimes… even if it is under the umbrella of retaliation. The fact is that once somebody becomes a prisoner of war, then these captured people are under the care of the force that holds them captive. These people’s health and humanity are the captor’s responsibility. And to be clear, robing a person from their humanity is criminal.

Of course, saying this from the comfort of my office while I am typing this seems a lot easier than navigating what is going on in the front lines. But I would argue that this actually affords me the opportunity to be objective. You see, when you’re directly involved in the stressful situation, you will get tunnel vision. My article does not condemn nor condone any of the actions from either side. My opinion is my opinion, and I will keep that to myself. My intent is really to capture what is in my mind today and hopefully give somebody an opportunity to read my words.  Perhaps something I say will help them in any way. Even if I personally don’t understand how… right now.

Ukrainians motivation is to not lose their country, and further stop the suffering of their people. It is no secret that most of the international community sides with Ukraine, and despite any opposing narrative, it was not Ukraine who crossed the border into Russian territory on February 24, 2022. But there is plenty of evidence, and it has not been disputed that it was Russia who crossed the border into Ukraine with military power. This proves capability, opportunity and intent.

What would you expect that Ukrainians would do seeing this military might rolling in? Well, we know what happened – they fought back. Unlike Crimea, where the Russian military was not received with significant resistance. Especially because those who crossed did not wear any insignia. Seeing it in hindsight it seems obvious that Russia might have erroneously factored this would be a very short conflict, but nothing could be further from the truth… obviously, we’re almost 10 months since the first Russian tank entered the territory.

We have to also realize that Russian’s military is much larger than Ukraine’s and perhaps that what was factored in the strategic decision-making to enter the country. Military speaking, Russia was superior at the beginning of the conflict. However, they forgot a very important key element. The human factor. Every war in the world was won was because the victors believed in their cause. Russia themselves were victors on previous wars against aggressors crossing their territories. That includes Napoleon who miscalculated the invasion during the bitter winter, and then the Nazis when they repeated a similar mistake. Russia and subsequently the Soviet Union was not necessarily the superior army at the time, but they were victors because they believed in the cause. The cause, people defending their homeland.

Now, let’s think for a moment and realize that a lot of those people in Ukraine were former Soviet – essentially anybody born before the 90’s. There are many cultural differences, and Ukrainians are fighting against somebody crossing their territory, much like the Soviets fought the Nazis crossing their back in World War II. Put a pin also on this adversary for a moment, as we’ll discuss this narrative when it comes to Russia. Everything comes full circle.

 

Let’s talk about Russia

I’ve said it before, people from any nationality around the world come in a wide range from awesome to terrible. Most Russian people I’ve personally met in my 40+ years are super nice people. Culturally speaking Russia is a very diverse country. And it makes sense, as it is the largest country in the world. Expanding from Europe and taking a huge chunk of Asia, there are several cultures. Russia the way it is now depicted in a map is not how it was throughout her history. They had some good times, and they had some terrible times. I would argue that right not is not one of those good times for Russia.

But this is the truth, NOBODY wants to erase Russia from the map. Not NATO, not anybody. First off because that would take a large part of our planet so it essentially would destroy the rest of humanity along with it. Second, and most importantly because every day Russian people are actually super nice, and the world is not against everyday Russians. Now, can Russians and any other nationality be subject to propaganda and other half-truths and narratives. Absolutely yes, and so it is the rest of the world. I established before that any group of people, even if they are nice themselves could be convinced that there are false enemies out there… or worse overhype the danger to their homeland. Unfortunately, no geopolitical story is a straightforward binary black & white issue. A country such as Russia will of course have a lot of shades of gray that will be part of their long history.

And if you study Russian history you’ll be inspired by their tenacity and valor when faced with adversity. However, you will also find that their tenacity and valor has been often highjacked by authoritarianism who raised a select group to the higher echelons and subjugated millions to the bottom. That was true during the time of the Czars, and subsequently also true during Soviet times. There was no transparency, and if you didn’t obey without objection then somebody would carry on the order of eliminating you and everything you ever loved. But it was then the Russians themselves who worked for a better life for themselves.

You can even argue that at first Soviet mentality was technically an improvement from the monarchy under the Czars, but it was not properly managed. Millions died of starvation and people were put in place without being properly qualified to carry those duties. Pair that with blind obedience, and you have a recipe for disaster. It is just not sustainable, and anything we’ve learned has been obvious that the Soviet Union collapsed from within. There was no war with the Soviet Union that led it to dissolve. It was a consequence of the flaws in the system.

However, a lot of the Soviet Union mentality lives in the lives of older generations throughout the former Soviet territories. Why you think is that? Because it was part of their everyday life, and somehow it would have any vestigial part of their cultural identity. The Soviets Communist party was in power for a very long time, and in that time a lot of their doctrines were inculcated to the Soviet citizens. Even if they did not want it in their lives.

Let me give you an example. The country of Lithuania which is one of the first states to gain independence from the Soviet Union in the 90’s (along with Latvia and Estonia) kept large swaths of their cultural identity in a clandestine way.

I have friends who were born in Lithuania before the 90’s and they told me stories that the Soviet Union was not cool at all with Lithuanians speaking their own language – Lithuanian. In fact, every Lithuanian had to be a fluent Russian speaker, and the Lithuanian language (which a very complex language by the way) only survived due to the tenacity of ethnic Lithuanians holding on to their cultural traits. And yes, there were severe consequences to ethnic Lithuanians if they were found of doing this preservation of their language during Soviet times.

But this story on its own gives you an anecdotal insight onto the dramatic influence of the Soviet Union in this country. I also remember seeing some of the Soviet era apartments, and yes – they are very characteristic, and I would dare saying not designed for comfort, but rather basic utility. And a lot of that became the normal way on how people lived. However, for people who lived there, this was considered adequate, and so it was for a few who had not ventured outside their hometown outside the old Soviet blocks, this reality was what all they knew.

And why I bring this? Well, it is easier to galvanize support against a bias for people – particularly western people if you paint them as excessive and decadent. This was true during Soviet times, when it came to the way they perceived the west. In the U.S. all portions are bigger, houses are larger, cars are huge, they are so wasteful and decadent. That was the trope.

Sure you, can argue that some of the things we have in the U.S. are a bit over the top, but what they buy is convenience. Capitalism is far from perfect, but it allows people to grow up to their highest potential – even if it not a straightforward process. In Soviet times, it really depended on where you fit in the hierarchy. And even if you were in a high-level hierarchy, it was still subpar as far as a standard of living if compared to other nations. In fact, much “less privileged” than the western standards actually enjoyed.

For example, a high-ranking party person in Soviet times might have a small three-bedroom apartment, and a Volga automobile which is a pretty ugly and not particularly well-constructed car. And of course, you would have to wait a long time of hard work and loyalty to gain that driving privilege. Conversely, a run of the mill middle class American at the same time would have a pretty large three-bedroom home with two and a half baths, a garden, a pretty fence and one or two super cool automobiles of their choice. And if they did not like their boss, they could just quit presenting both middle fingers up without any fear of the government authorities coming to arrest or shoot them in the head for disloyalty. But that did not mean decadence, they were just afforded a different opportunity in the West.

Unfortunately, those vertiginous narratives do exist to this day. Although a lot of people in Russia and the former Soviet Union are able to see the world and experience the cultures for what they really are, there are still millions who likely never leaved their small towns.

This by the way this is also true even in the U.S. where there are people who have not left their hometown most of their lives. However, the world comes to them via the internet, or even big stores such as Walmart. That’s a different rant, but the point is that this gives people an opportunity to see something outside their limited purview. Is it perfect? No. The truth is that living in a bubble is a possibility in any country around the world. My intent is to spark your curiosity so you can see the world for what it is.  A very dynamic place, and some of the tales we hear growing up are not quite true.

Hey, I can speak from experience on this. I was born in Quito, Republic of Ecuador in the 80’s and early 90’s. And let me tell you, a lot of the bullshit adults were spewing as empirical facts were in fact very divorced from reality. However, I didn’t know any better, because – of course – an adult was telling me this, so they should know it right? Well, no… some of these guys were so far off the mark that it is hilariously tragic in hindsight.

The scary thing is that a lot of those confused people were teachers and educators themselves. And their narratives – which by the way affect the culture of the country. Yet these were very biased and misinformed themselves. Now as an adult and a person who does what I do for a living, I can very much identify these shortfalls. But this was not limited to Ecuador growing up, this was also true when I started learning from other countries and talking to people from different cultures. Some of those “empirical truths” were really a very skewed reality. That was also true for the U.S. some of the things we though were true were just the mind-fabrication from somebody else. Usually, to try to sell us something. That’s one of the things I love about being an analyst, is that we get to see stuff from very different angles and try to decipher the truth from the bullshit. And there is plenty of bullshit around. It has always been, we’re just getting better at spotting it.

And I say better, and not good at it because of all these vertiginous biases I spoke about. Obedience and respect for elders, which are virtues can become double edge swords. Blind obedience can lead to manipulation, and some elders are in fact f—g morons. And these two undisputed facts. However, this can also be very selective depending on our deference for anybody who has earned our trust and respect. And in some instances, our fear. By the way, fear and respect are not the same thing.

And this is what I am observing that is happening in Russia, and around the world really. But relevant to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, one of the key differences between Soviet times and today is that even if people might have not been afforded the entire context before sending them to the front lines, nowadays there is likely going to be an exposure to information that is not 100% aligned with the official state-sponsored narrative.

How can we tell? Well, look at the obvious facts. Though a lot of Russian people are in fact very patriotic, they are not agreeing with the government’s narrative. Huge swaths of people in fact have voiced their dissent in demonstrations across the country, and many left Russia to make their voice heard through different avenues outside Russian’s borders. Of note, there was a mass exodus both via air and land from Russia after the government mandated a mobilization of about 300,000 additional conscripts.

The official narrative is that the mobilization was only for males from a certain age range, capable of fighting on this campaign. The narrative around the world is that the mobilization also included all kinds of people that would otherwise would not be meeting the requisites for military service. I cannot independently confirm that, because obviously I am not in Russia, and I don’t have access to that fidelity of information, nor am I looking for it.

Besides, mainstream media around the world are showing images and reports that are pushing that narrative. I do believe however, based on the copious amounts of reports that there is a big percentage of soldiers and Russian citizens who are not onboard with the premise of this military conflict. In other words, they disagree with the government’s official narrative. And for quite some time we see more and more reports, documentaries, and all kinds of media demonstrating Russian soldiers deserting their posts. What could it cause them to do so?

As I mentioned before, people will fight to the bitter end when they believe in the cause. Also, I mentioned that fear and respect are not the same thing. Sure, they might work hand in hand, but one is intrinsically more powerful that the other. That of course is respect, but respect is earned, and it has to be earned every day. Respect is not a right; it is a privilege. And if there is anything that demonstrates to a subordinate that their leader is not fully in the up and up, the respect will erode fast. Does that mean that they won’t demonstrate obedience to their leader? Not always, if there is fear, they will be obedient, but not because they believe in the cause, but because they don’t want to deal with the repercussions.

Now, let’s understand repercussions, because that’s important in the human factor. If the repercussions are less severe than the reward for a significant risk, then the level of compliance and obedience will be affected. What do I mean by that? Let’s say that somebody is in charge of a group. This person in charge is not very skilled, not an actual leader – just somebody put in charge, let’s say this is a dude. And the group does not like this person, but they fear him. They will be obedient as long as this person has some power over them.

But for example, if the power of this person is diminished – or the risks this person is asking from their group beyond the reasonable request of compliance, then the spark for disciplinary dissent will start becoming an option to the subordinates. For example, let’s say that the group does not believe in the cause, and the person in a leadership position seems less than bright, but he is on a power trip, and the orders this person is giving could become a senseless suicide mission. Whatever the narrative he pushes, there is no rhyme or reason for such sacrifice. In other words, the group can clearly see that they would be obediently rushing into a self-massacre. What do you think it’s going to happen? One of two things, they either will run the other way, or they will uprise against this person.

And in essence this is what is being reported as observed in the front lines. There is no shortage of news that are not painting the tactical and operational Russian military leadership in a good light. How much of this is communicated to their President? No clue, but I have a feeling that the news reaching the top levels are not quite representative of the realities on the ground. Which then begs the question, is the higher echelons surrounded by “Yes” men and women? Hence the critical information does not make it all the way to the top.  Or are the decisions coming from the top not effective? And could this be either because the directive is not effective, or there is not proper discipline in executing the actual orders and strategy? Either way it is not good news for the country as a whole. And likely a lot of people who run away from this conflict figured this out as a possibility.

Military service by tradition will demand obedience through the ranks. However, this patriotism does not equal senseless contempt for their own lives. In other words, if people figure out, they are fighting a losing battle, it is very likely they will prefer any other consequence that does not include them getting killed in vain. Sure, many of those who have deserted in the front lines will be ostracized and prosecuted, but they will be alive. According to reports this is happening after a lot of their fellow military forces were killed in what it they likely viewed as very preventable deaths. Pair that with the red flags being reported on the handling of casualties, and their motivation will be a very hard sell to achieve.

If you pair all that to the myriad of videos being sent from the front lines where new conscripts stated, they had to buy even the most basic military gear at their own expense – then any allure of readiness is going to become a very hard sell in the front lines – well before they get there. Especially if you realize that Russian people are already more austere than many western nations based on their economy, this additional expensive burden then becomes quite an enlighten statement indeed. Another narrative being reported is that the gear, ammunition, weapons, and other basic living requirements – such as food and water are not readily available. This of course would raise the question on the logistics of this large military force. If they struggle with this neighboring seemingly less powerful country, how will it be leveraged against a much larger force.  And realize that many of these conscripts were likely not thrilled to be taken away from home and come to fight in Ukraine in the first place. Again, the human factor.

Reports say that a large portion of the basic training is comprised warnings against cowardice and desertion. To me, it does not take a PHD to realize that there are red flags about doctrinal procedure and trust up and down the ranks. Further, this could hinder the actual Russian patriotism, but remember that patriotism does not equal blind obedience. With the Russian economy suffering back home, the looming threat of yet another mobilization, and escalation of the conflict – how sustainable this is for Russia? It is not, and it is already in a bad situation that will take generations to fix.

The only people who can fix this situation with Russia is Russians themselves, and that goes from every side of their society reaching an agreement. And spoiler alert, continued hostilities against Ukraine and threatening hostilities around the rest of the world is not a viable solution.

 

The Russian quagmire

Agree or disagree with the reason for Russia to cross into Ukraine in the first place, and the protracted stay – there are some inescapable facts. For better or for worse Russia’s doctrine put them in a lose-lose situation. Let’s explore.

If Russia “wins”

They still don’t win. All the damage done to Ukraine, and as consequence of this military operation inflicted back to Russia will take generations to fix. Why? Let’s start with the human toll. The alleged crimes against humanity, the collateral damage killing, the destruction of infrastructure, the toxicity of ordinance on agricultural lands, the displacement of millions of people, the destruction of housing, basic services, roads, bridges, livelihoods, casualties compensations, the actual cost of the war efforts, all the equipment that got destroyed, all the ammunition and ordinance (especially unexploded) that was peppered through the entire country, the raising economic sanctions, lawsuits, investigations, litigation, etc. I can go on and on… all that will need to be fixed by Russians at some point before the actual “liberation” of the Donbas Region overshadows the gigantic cost… and that is only on the “Ukrainian” land. The economy in Russia and the regeneration of forces and lives lost, and possible a distrust that will continue from all those dissenting on the official narrative. “Wining” this conflict will not mean anything if their livelihoods will be compromised for years or generations to come. Especially because the truth about the situation in the ground will come to light one way or the other. It is not a matter of if but when. Same thing happened after the Soviet Union dissolved. The secrets that were obvious to a lot of the people became clear as day. So, even if Russia “wins” – the cost for wining is a de-facto loss.

If Russia “losses”

All this stuff I mentioned above, they will still have to deal with everything I mentioned above and then some. Except that it won’t be under their own Russian timeline. The timeline and conditions will be imposed onto them. And then it makes sense why the official narrative has been changing from Liberating Russians from Ukrainians, to fighting Nazis, to beware of NATO or any other imaginary foe. The truth is that NATO (to include the U.S.) does not want to fight Russia, or anybody for that matter. They just don’t want the conflict to spill over outside the region. Which is reasonable, because most people in Europe and the U.S. prefer to live in peace.

Seriously, we have a good thing going here in the West. People much rather enjoy their lattes, watch their TV shows, travel the words, eat at restaurants, enjoy their hobbies, walk their dogs in cute outfits, do home improvement, drive around town with their loved ones. Literally, anything is more appealing than fighting anybody on the other side of the world. In fact, I bet you there are plenty of people who cannot even point in the map where the actual fight is taking place. Which is sad, by the way. But that is a testament of how much every day westerners are not planning to fight anybody.

In fact, the best military power is the one that does not need to fight. Still be ready to defend its interests. Any lessons learned on that can happen to any country but remember that the truth comes in the end… at some point.

So, this being a lose-lose situation would leave only one logical course of action. Blame somebody else… and we have seen this attempt for months since before the conflict started. And of course, during this entire time. There is a narrative that the U.S. and NATO are Russophobe.  Not true, a lot of everyday Americans and Europeans actually love Russian people, they are not in agreement with the doctrines under Russia – they ones Russia is living under right now. And the rest probably are not even tracking anything else outside their own happy bubbles – not Russia, not anyone. And by the way, it is normal to agree or disagree on policy. But disagreeing with a policy does not mean that they don’t like Russian themselves.

But we also have to realize that the conflict is not making it easy for anybody with a brain to let their guard down either. What do I mean by that. We’ll for example, if a soldier defects Russia and leaves, there might be a suspicion they are not actual defectors, just by virtue that there is a time of war. In other words, there are national security concerns that will be addressed. That does not mean that a Russian defector would be mistreated if they ask for asylum, but nothing is cut and dry in the world. And this situation of course is exacerbated because of the actual premises of the conflict, and the copious amounts of war crimes occurring since the beginning of the conflict. Regardless of if there is blame on both sides.

I’ve also heard of mistrust towards Russians who left the country after the order of mobilization was issued. And I have to say that I would say it is unfair to treat somebody bad because they disagree with their government and are trying to do what they can to distance themselves in a legal way. Of course, that disagreement and betrayal are two different things, but how do you judge one from the other is also a complex situation. In other words, in the case of Russia if people were running out of fear for their lives it seems like a very desperate situation for that decision.

In other words, it is very hard to justify it being betrayal if a person is willing to leave everything they owned and left behind in a hurry if they are fearing for their lives. And the fear for their lives might not be because they are afraid of the government per say, but afraid of the tactical decisions of somebody who is in the front lines.

In other words, I’m willing to bet that most people would prefer not to die in vain. Especially if they perceive they would be under the command of somebody in the front lines who might or might not know what they are doing. And judging from what is been reported far and wide, it is likely that they realized something to validate that fear. In other words, it would be very naïve to think that in Russia there are no alternative ways people are consuming media form around the world through their internet services, or other means.

In the end, the one gift we all have is life. Our lives are worth living – and an alive person can make a difference. The death of a martyr might serve as inspiration, but the full scope of their story will be controlled by whomever gets to own their narrative. This has been going on since the beginning of time. Some people become romanticized; some will have their reputation tarnished in the pages of history.  However, eventually the truth comes to life. Tough it might take thousands of years. What is the truth we are forging for ourselves today? We create our own legacy each day by our actions, that’s how we can control our own narrative. That’s why I write my story, no matter how much somebody tries to erase it, there is a copy of it floating in a server somewhere, and my message will reach the right ears when the time is right. Thank you for reading this far. HLC

  1. I lіke the helpful information you provide in your articles.
    I’ll bookmarқ your blog and check again һere frequentⅼy.
    I am quite sure I’ll learn a lot of new stᥙff
    right here! Good luck for the next!

  2. Ƭhank you a bunch for sharing tһis ѡith all of us you actuаlly reaⅼize what you’re speaҝing about!
    B᧐οkmarked. Kindly also consult witһ my site =).
    We can have a lіnk exchange arrangement among us

  3. Witһ havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright
    infringement? Мy site hɑs a lߋt of completely uniqᥙе content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is
    popping it up all over the internet witһout my authorization. Do yoս know any
    methodѕ to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d certаinly appгeciate it.

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit. I have not gotten that problem yet. However, what I write it is more about the message I want to transmit rather than how it ultimately gets to the eyes of those I hope will read my words. With that said, I emphasize this is my official site and I have records of everything I post. However, there are also tools that help you see if there is anybody trying to steal content, normally as part of your server. Other than that, one thing that worked for me is choosing a writing style that although not always grammatically correct, it is (hopefully) understandable. And that way I know for sure if it has been plagiarized. Hope this helps! – BeeZee

  4. Hey! Do you knoᴡ if they makе any plսgins to protect agɑinst һackers?
    I’m kindɑ paranoid about losіng eveгything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit. To answer your question depending on your server host, anybody who tries to attack your site can potentially get intercepted. These tools will depend on who hosts your site. And if this can be traced back to the hackers can be tipped to the pertinent authorities, and eventually somebody will knock on their door with an arrest warrant. No matter how discreet the hacker tries to be — somebody is always watching to protect their servers and the sites hosted therein, and of course to uphold the law. The added benefit is that hackers would not realize they are being watched for a long time as they try to attack a site, until somebody one day kicks their door with an arrest warrant. The more a hacker tries to attack, the more evidence against them as everything on the internet can be traced through forensics. I also recommend having a backup to what your site – again that can be done through your web-host provider. Hope this helps! – BeeZee

  5. Heⅼρful info. Fortunate me I discovered your site ƅy acciɗent, and I’m stսnned why this coincidence did not came about
    earlier! I bookmarked іt.

  6. wonderful points aⅼtogether, you simply gained a new reader.
    What may you suggest in regards to your submit that yⲟu simply made some days ago?
    Any sure?

  7. Ι’d lіke to fіnd out more? I’d want to find out more details.

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit. Me too, hopefully more information will be distributed in the media to expand. I have not heard anything different yet. I am particularly hoping to hear this conflict will end peacefully. – BeeZee

  8. Tһis is a topic that’s neаr to my heart… Taқe care!
    Exactly where are your contact details though?

  9. Ηowdy, I believe ʏour site might be haѵing web browser compatibility problems.
    When I take a look at your webѕite in Sаfari, it looks fine but
    when opening in ΙE, it’s got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to give you а quiсk heads up!

    Besides that, fantastic weƅsite!

    1. Hi, thank you so much for your visit, your kind words and for the heads up! I checked it out, you’re right – it does seem a bit different in IE. Fortunately, I’ve heard that IE is being phased out to prop MS-Edge. – BeeZee

  10. І am really іmpressed with your ᴡriting abilities and also wіth the layout
    on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?

    Either way keep up the еxcellent high quality writing, іt is rare to see a
    great blog like this one nowadays..

    1. Hi, thank you very much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I actually own a small web development company (BeeZee Vision, LLC). When I chose this layout and engine (WordPress based) it was because I wanted to make it as easy as possible to upload what tumbles inside my mind whenever I have time to post. Thank you again for your visit, I’ll be adding a lot more articles this year. – BeeZee

  11. Hellо thеre, just became aware ⲟf your
    blog throuցh Google, and found that it is really іnformative.
    I’m gonna watch out for brussеls. I’ll be grateful if you cоntinue
    this in future. Many people will be benefіteɗ from your writing.
    Chеers!

  12. I think tһat what you published was very reasonablе.
    However, consider this, suⲣpose үou typed a catchier
    title? I mean, I don’t wish to tell you how to run your Ƅlog,
    ƅut suppose you adԀeԁ a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Ukraine &
    Russia conflict… 302 days later – HALF Life Сrisіs is қinda plain. You should
    peek at Yahoo’s front рage and ᴡatch how tһey wrіte newѕ headlines to gеt ѵiewers to open the ⅼinks.
    You might add a reⅼated videο or a related ⲣicture or two to
    grab people excited about what you’ve gоt to say.
    Just my opіnion, it would maҝe your postѕ a little bit more
    interesting.

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit and your feedback. I’ll keep that in mind for future articles. I’m glad you had a chance to read it. The tittle was selected due to the chorological historical timeframe of Russian forces crossed into Ukraine at the time it was written. I might do a follow up in the anniversary of the conflict if it continues in Feb 2023. – BeeZee

  16. Ι have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found
    any interesting article like youгs. It is pretty worth еnough for me.

    Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good ϲontent as you did, the
    web ᴡill be much more useful than ever before.

    it’s amazing article.

    1. Hi triple-x, thank you for your visit. The next Geopolitical follow up for this article will likely be the on January 24. Meanwhile, there are plenty of sources that speak about this topic – but they might have a geo-location filter – BeeZee

  19. I saνor, lead to I discovered exactly whаt I was taking ɑ l᧐ok for.

  21. Ⲩou actually make it seem ѕo easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actսally something that I tһink I would never understand.
    It seems too cⲟmplex and very bгߋad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, І’ll tгy tо
    gеt the hang of it!

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit! I’ll be posting more articles like this in the future. You’re right, the topic is actually very complex, as many geopolitical topics tend to be – by design. I appreciate your kind words. Looking forward to your next visit. – BeeZee

  22. Ꮃrite more, thats all I have to say. Ꮮiterally, it ѕeems aѕ though you relied ߋn the video to mɑke
    your point. You clearly know what youre talking about,
    why waste your intelligence on juѕt posting ᴠіdeos to your blog
    when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit and feedback. I’m not sure what video you are citing. This article (like most in our site) is only text and was written based on several historical sources and writing experience. I use the same style for all my writing, there is no video involved. So far the only video I’ve done for our site also has dedicated articles. Hope this answers your question. Looking forward to your next visit! – BeeZee

  23. It’s aсtualⅼy a great and helpful piece of infߋrmation. I am glad that yоu shared this

    Can ʏou recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that go over the same topics?
    Thank you!

    1. Hi triple-x, thank you for your visit and kindness. There are plenty of sites that speak about these topics; unfortunately, I don’t have permission from them to endorse them or distribute their content. Some of these sites might have a geo-location. In the event I get permission for citing their content I’ll add it to each post. Meanwhile, everything I write is my own analysis based on the available information and history. – BeeZee

  25. It’s a pity yoս don’t have a dоnate button! I’d most certainly donate
    to this brilliant bloɡ! I sᥙppose for now i’ⅼl settle for bookmarking and
    adding your RSS feed to my Google aсcount.

    I look forward tо new updateѕ and wiⅼl share this site with my Facebook groᥙp.

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit, your kind words, and your willing support. I appreciate it very much and look forward to your next visit. I’ll be adding more content whenever I have time in the future. Thank you again for sharing our content. – BeeZee

  26. Wow that was օdd. I just wrote an very lоng comment but after I

    well I’m not writing all that over again. Regarⅾlesѕ,
    just wanted to say ɡreаt blog!

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit, your kind words and comment. Unfortunately, I have not seen the comment you mention above. Was it for this article? We do review every comment before they get published in our site for the virtual security of our visitors. We do get spam from time to time and some of it has potential of malware, hence we review on all comments for the safety of our visitors. With that said, we do not edit the words in comments we receive, and we do not censor the opinions we receive. Thank you again for your visit! – BeeZee

  27. When І іnitially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
    and now each time a comment is added Ӏ get seveгal emailѕ with the same comment.
    Is there any wɑy you can remove me fr᧐m tһat service?

    Bless ʏou!

    1. Hi, thank you for your feedback. Actually, I am not sure why it keeps sending it in that manner you described. I made a test and once I went back to the original commend and “unchecked” the box, then the emails stopped. If that does not work, it might be able to auto forward to a box where you can be sorted and discard in Gmail. I apologize for any inconvenience. We will be adding more content any chance I get. – BeeZee

  28. I tһink this is among the most ѵіtal infoгmation for
    me. And i am glad reading your article. But wanna rеmaгk on some general things, The site
    style is perfect, the articles iѕ really excellеnt : D.

    Good job, cheers

  29. Wһen someone writes an post he/she retains the thought of a user in his/her mind that
    how a user cɑn understand it. Thus that’s why this post is amazing.
    Thanks!

  30. Thіs iѕ really interesting, You are an overly professional blogger.
    I’ve joined your feed and sit up for searching for more of your eⲭcellent
    post. Additionally, I have shared youг website in my social netwοrks

  31. Pretty ցreat post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wiѕhed tօ mention that I have truly loѵed surfing around your blog poѕts.

    In any case I’ll be subsϲribing for yօur feed and I am һoping you write
    once morе very soon!

  32. I’m extremeⅼy impressed wіth your writing skills as
    wеll as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or
    did you customize it yourself? Eіther way keep սp the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one theѕe days.

    1. Hi pornhub, any relation to the site? Thank you very much for your visit, and your kind words. I’ve use WP for it, but also have some customization to try making it as easy as possible for our readers to enjoy the articles posted. Thank you again, we look forward to your next visit. – BeeZee

  33. Hі thеre, You’ve done a great job. I wіll ԁefinitely
    dіgg it and personally suggest to my friends.
    I’m sure they’ll be benefitеd fгom this site.

  34. My brоther recommended I may liқe this website. He wɑs once
    totally rigһt. This publish aⅽtually made my day.
    Үou cann’t consider simply how so much time I
    had spent for tһis info! Thank you!

  35. It’s truly very complicated in tһis fᥙll of activity life to liѕten news on Television, therefore I simply use the web for that reason, and obtaіn the newest information.

  36. Hі there, I read your blog on a regular basis. Your writing style is awesome, keep doing what
    you’re doing!

  37. Hi outstanding website! Does runnіng a blog like this take a larցe
    amоunt of wօrk? I’ve virtually no expeгtise in computer programming
    but I hɑd been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
    Anyway, should you havе any ideas or tips for new
    ƅlog owners please share. Ι understand this is off subject but
    I just wanted to ask. Thanks!

    1. Hi pornhub, any relation to the site? Thank you for your visit and your kind words. To answer your question, to me it does not take that much work. And I intended it to be that way. When I created Half Life Crisis was because I wanted to have a vehicle to express my thoughts – if the thoughts appeared. With that said, I did make some preparation in order to make it easy for myself. I recommend Word Press for the site engine for the blog, because it makes it easier on the blogger and the audience. That way I can focus more on writing and make it easier on me for posting, rather than fighting programming web-tools. As far as subject, what somebody recommended me is to write about something that makes you, YOU… that way it will always be authentic. Depending on if you want to write for monetization or write because you want to. I chose the latter. I figured, there is a lot tumbling in my head all the time, and this helps me get it out of my system put it out in words. And if my words help someone out there it’s a win-win. Hope this helps! – BeeZee

  38. Helⅼo! I juѕt wanted to ask if yߋu ever have any trouble with hackers?
    Ⅿy last blоg (wordpгess) was hacked and I ended
    up losing many months of hard work duе to no data backup.
    Do you have any mеthods tⲟ stop hackers?

    1. Hi Pornub, any relationship to the site? Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear your blog got attacked. What was your blog’s name? To answer your question, there are setting to help me verify if anybody is attacking, and backups of all content before it gets posted. – BeeZee

  39. Hey ԝould you mind stating which blog platform yοu’re ѡorking with?
    I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but
    I’m havіng a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evօlution ɑnd Drupal.

    Thе reason I aѕk is because your layоut seemѕ different then most Ƅlogs and I’m looking for something
    unique. P.Տ Mʏ apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    1. Hi, thank you for your question. No worries! I own a web development company BeeZee Vision, LLC http://www.beezeevision.com and our automated site is http://www.BZVweb.com. For this particular site I chose Word Press as an engine because it makes it easier on the audience to read the content and on myself to update said content without having to spend too much time. I did add however upon the exiting basic features to make it to closer to my liking. With that said, Word Press does have some good templates that help you get started on what you want to convey and build upon them. The goal was to make it easier to load on all devices. Also, most importantly, as I said, I wanted to make it as easy as possible for me update this site as needed. From the choices you mentioned, most bloggers like Word Press for the reasons I mentioned. Looking forward to seeing your new blog! What’s it’s going to be about? – BeeZee

  40. Ϝantastic beat ! I ᴡish to apprentice while you amend your websіte, how can i subscribe foг a blog wеbsite?
    The account aided me a acceptable deal. I had been a littlе bіt
    aϲquainted of this your broadcast provided bright clear concept

  41. certаinly like your web-site bսt you have to test tһe spelling
    on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and І in finding it very bothersome to tell the truth hօwever I wіll surely
    come back again.

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit and your feedback. English is my third language, so there is a non-zero chance I’ll have a few misspelled words here and there on longer articles. I do proof proofread, but there will be times the word processor I use (MS Word) and the platform (WP) I post don’t catch it. I don’t have an editor for my articles, I’ll look into that as the site grows to have somebody go over and check it that out for me. Thank you again! – BeeZee

  42. ᒪink exchange is nothing еlse however it is juѕt placing
    thе other person’s blog link on your page at suitable
    place and other рerson will also do same in support of you.

    1. Hi Pornhub, any relation to the site? Not sure what you mean. However, I will say that I will not add links to a separate site from this blog because I cannot control/condone/condemn what happens to the other side of said link. My site has no age restrictions, and some links might direct audience to content they are not ready to consume. I am a big proponent of freedom of choice, and if they want to search for some specific content (whatever that content might be), they can search it directly. I just cannot be a vector for that unless there is a written agreement. – BeeZee

  43. I ҝnow this site provides quality dependent posts and other data, is there any other website which provides these kinds of infоrmation in quality?

    1. Hi, thank you for your visit. I appreciate your kind words. There are plenty of sites that provide good quality content, but that will depend on what type of content and scope of detail you’re looking for. Plenty of sites, and even youtubers have some very insightful content. Every day I stumble upon somebody with very interesting information. – BeeZee

  44. Because the admin of thiѕ web site is working, no uncertainty very quickly it
    will be famous, due to its quɑlity contents.

  45. Y᧐u need to be a paгt of a contest for one of the hіghest
    quality blοgs on the internet. I am going to recommend thіs blog!

  46. Ιt’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’ԁ
    witһout a doubt donatе to this excellent blog!
    I guеss for now i’ll settle fߋr Ьookmarking and
    adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I
    look forwaгd to new updatеs and will talk about tһis blog with
    my Facebook group. Talk soon!

    1. Hi, thank you very much for your visit and your kind words! I have not thought about adding a donate button, I appreciate it very much. We’ll be expanding our site to other social media platforms in the near future. Thank you again! – BeeZee
