We Must Avoid War by Avoiding the Triggers of War. The threat of economic warfare, cyber warfare, propaganda warfare, and conspiracy or provocation warefare is what Ukraine is facing. And it’s where help is needed the most. The grievances of Russia must not be disregarded or dismissed – no matter how superfluous the demands. Still, showing genuine recognition of a grievance, makes the other side feel listened to or taking seriously. Strategic Diplomatic Negotiations (SDN) or concessions can’t be ignored. Arrogance, redlines, or hardliners should be blurred. Citizens of the world should be in the streets marching to protest a war. People of faith should do their best. The civil society should do their best. Students around the world and artists of all strides should do their little best to avoid another war in Europe. The window of negotiations is closing – unless new energies and new positive forces or voices get involved. Now is not the time to provoke, demonize, austricize, demean, or disregard the other side. We must avoid war by avoiding the triggers of war. Those bent for war, will war; those bent for peace will have the day. What Positive Citizens of the World (PCW) can do now, is protest against a war, invasion, or incursion into the Great Lands of Ukraine. Seek Concessions. Seek dialogue. Prolong negotiations. Keep meeting. Seek Peace. Al PHIL. PIZ. Word of the Wise. 02.18.2022
