Peace is simple.
Manipulation by vested interests is the world’s biggest problem.

Saudi Arabia was host to delegates from forty countries this weekend, exploring Ukraine’s road to Peace.
Not invited was Russia.
Geopolitical events since the end of the Cold War have led to the present bloodshed. The situation for both, Ukrainians and Russians, is a most horrendous example of human nature.
War propaganda is helping to manipulate the younger people into taking sites, whilst older people remember the promises and treaties, formed between America – NATO & Russia.
Today, PEACE should be our first and foremost target.
Enough destruction has taken place.
Our actions have consequences, we call this the law of “Cause & Effect”.
Stockpiling weapons in a country bordering Russia for many years – what might cause & effect look like today? I guess we can all see clearly what that looks like.
PEACE also is a consequence of Cause & Effect.
Saudi Arabia and other countries before them, have engaged in actions to explore ways leading to an end of atrocities and slaughter of innocent civilians and soldiers on both sites.
Thus far, no convincing suggestion for a Peace Plan has made any impact on the Battlefields. Meanwhile the slaughter and devastation continue.
If this war, was a war, fought “exclusively” between “a free” Ukraine & Russia, there is “zero” chance, that this war could still go on – if not for the interest of external stakeholders to the outcome!
It is easily concluded, that Ukraine, if left on their own accord in Feb’22 – as a free and independent country, Ukraine would not be fighting this war today.
What the outcome would have been is highly speculative, but without the massive international infiltration of weapons and ammunition into the war zone, there would be no weapons or ammunition left for the Ukraine to fight with today.
We also must remind ourselves, there was an option for Ukraine to avoid hostilities and join the status of Switzerland and Austria and become a Neutral Independent Country. This would have avoided the present humanitarian crisis in Ukraine as well as the global financial and food crisis.
So as the picture emerges, the international flood of weapons and ammunition into this war zone, are the “actual fuel” that keep this war a war. And it is exactly that, which keeps the horror alive, when PEACE must “surely” be our united goal.
To learn from the past, is to learn.
We have no time to be held back by shame or guilt for past mistakes and wrongs, whilst loved ones are dying and injured and homes are destroyed. Instead, we must do all we can, to stop this obscenity and madness.
So, where to from here?
Perhaps we need a person in a position of power, entirely aware of the Geopolitical games being played.
Consider the power, of Jens Stoltenberg.
Jens in his role as Secretary General for NATO, facilitates and helps solicit as much military hardware, weapons and ammunition from the international community into this war zone as is possible.
Jens, in that role, is in fact a key person that makes this war possible today. So who is behind Jens? The 31 states that make up NATO, Jens simply works for them.
The plight experienced by Ukrainians is a massive crime against humanity. It can stop.
What can NATO do for PEACE?
NATO – or the 31 countries have a powerful position from which they contribute to this war. If Peace – meaningful Peace, is the true target, these 31 countries have the power to allow it.
Jens Stoltenberg is in a position that can bring an end to the madness.
If Jens, as a human being, was to focus on ways to arrive at a peaceful solution, I doubt we’d have to wait long for the weapons to fall silent.
But Jens is NATO, an organisation that only exists because of War’s. Weapons and expansion are the sign of health and prestige in NATO land.
Yes, Jens has a tough gig. But imagine if Jens woke up and decided, humanity is more important than his professional career.
Jens could truly go into history as one who broke the system, causing peace by empathy of the reality on the ground – not the Weapons accumulated to kill and shock.
Peace is derived from the consideration for the concern of every party – including a consideration for the entire human species.
If our planet hasn’t been suffering enough under human civilisation, the environmental impact from military conflict is a massive additional blow to our planets health.
The Last Generation have every reason for concern, when we consider present day global affairs and the system facilitating such.
Our intelligence has led to the discovery of heat seeking ammunition and weaponised inventions beyond the comprehension of most. Yet, we are still too primitive to understand the basic ingredients for a peaceful existence.
As a species and a Global Community, we must address the problems that stem from “vested interest groups”.
No war starts without vested interests at its core, often hidden deep in the rotting foundations of our corporate and political systems.
Today, our planet is very fragile. Consequences of human exploitation have caused the extinction of many species – such exploitations are still taking place in our every day life’s.
War is a political deflection and brings economic benefits to some – whilst ignoring the price we truly pay for such.
Jens, you have the power to change the trajectory of human history. Instead of driving the next global arms race – turn NATO into an environmental organisation that recycles military hardware and turns these into products that actually benefit humanity.
Humanity can no longer sustain conflict and war. Global Demilitarisation & Education, not weapons, are the key ingredients for lasting peace.
If NATO are too short-sighted to see this opportunity for positive change, perhaps it is time the UN wakes to its duty of care. Ukraine deserves better, as does Humanity as a Collective.
