Putin might feel it necessary to invade Finland to stop it entering NATO. A NATO Finland would be able to host US nuclear missiles.
And it goes on, every day, the language which reveals human hatred for other animals and the human need to castigate and liken other animals to the human behaviour which reveals humans at their worst:
“It’s ANIMAL behaviour!” (The actions of Israeli troops).
“They’re not humans, they’re ANIMALS!” (Describing Russian actions in Ukraine).
“Only ANIMALS would do that!”
He’s an ANIMAL!”
“They treated him as if he were a DOG!” (In other words, were he a dog, that would be ok).Show me a single nonhuman animal species that perpetrates what humans perpetrate on their own kind as well as on other beings, that justifies such language.
What this language does do, however, is legitimise the holocaust that humans are inflicting on other animal species, and also on one another, by branding as “other” those we inflict injury and devastation on.
Are you seriously saying they are considering putting dupes on the ground in Russian or Ukrainian territory? What Expeditionary Force outside of NATO’s borders are they planning?
Under the new treaty, the UK will have to go to war with Russia if the latter attacks Finland, even if Finland does not join NATO.
What’s the crack anyway with Finland and Sweden joining NATO? It isn’t as if govts act simply because the population is nervous. Is NATO really planning something against Russia? Otherwise, why?
I wish I had your optimism that this is not pushing us toward a nuclear holocaust, but it looks like it is.
Wildlife Services kills has killed over a million wildlife a year. Many are the big predators. Others are the unfortunate animals deemed “pests.” Most of the killing is done to appease the agricultural community. The ranchers, especially, call for the death of wolves, bears, and cougars.
Many of the victims are collateral damage. They aren’t the intended victims, but they happen to wander into the traps.
