<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div>Hi everyone, <br><br>I would like to share some thoughts that I have had since last week.<div>I apologize in advance for my English :) <br><br><br>This is a world war that didn’t start last week.<div> <br>It has started many years ago.</div><div> <br>It has started straight after the end of the ‘’cold war’’ that was not cold at all.</div><div> <br>It started with the first Gulf War in 1990, were the western Alliances attacked Iraq. </div><div>And it continued with the occupation and destruction of many eastern countries since then. </div><div>But in western countries and western media this was not a problem, because we were the ones that were bombing.</div><div>And because the dead people were Muslims.</div><div><br>In 1995 there was a massacre in Kosovo, the biggest massacre after the second world war, in which all the European countries took part, by their silence. </div><div>And still, this was not a problem, because the dead people were Muslims. Here in Greece, the media were saying that the people were bombing their city by themselves </div><div>because they were fanatic Muslims (the same ideology that continued with the second war in Iraq)<br><br>Now that the country that is attacking is not a western country, it is called war.</div><div>As if previously we were having peace in the world.</div><div> <br>In Ukraine from 2014 there is a war and since then, 14000 people have died. </div><div>If we look back when this started, we can see that this is something that was pushed from the western countries back then. </div><div>By sending weapons and supporting the para-military of Ukraine and helping to establish a Fascist regime that oppresses the people and the working class of Ukraine </div><div>and forwards neonazi ideologies and practices.</div><div> <br> <br>As the global Capitalistic crisis rises more and more, the war probably will come closer to us. <br>But whenever the Bosses of this world are making wars to compete for their geopolitical thirst and capitalism expansion, we are the ones who always die...</div><div> <br>As the war expands, our personal or collective dilemmas for participation for sure will get stronger. </div><div>We should not join any National flag. We should fight in our countries against their participation in any war, </div><div>because we will be the victims of something that we only have to lose. </div><div>We have to lose our friends and beloved people’s lives or even our lives.<br><br>We won’t fight for anyone. </div><div><br></div><div>Peace among the people, War among the Classes.</div><div> <br>Together with the Oppressed people of Ukraine who are fighting against this war.</div><div> <br>Together with the Oppressed and arrested people of Russia, who are fighting against this war.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>

please, refrain from personal insults; it's one of the "red lines" that <br>
