occasional reflections on culture & politics
Writing is an act of moral testimony. It preserves truth, confronts injustice, and affirms human dignity. In times of war and repression, the written word becomes resistance—bearing witness to suffering and refusing silence.
Economic pressure is slowly eroding Russia’s capacity for war. Sanctions are painful but necessary, and their long-term impact will be decisive. The West must remain united and escalate measures to ensure accountability and deter future aggression.
Russian demands are dismissed as manipulative and incoherent. The regime’s actions—war crimes, propaganda, and imperial aggression—have forfeited its credibility. Negotiation is impossible without accountability. The only meaningful response is resistance, not appeasement.
Ukraine’s victory is essential to defending democracy, human rights, and international law. A Russian win would embolden authoritarian regimes and destabilize global order. Supporting Ukraine is not just strategic—it’s a moral imperative to protect freedom and resist tyranny.
Theodicy is reframed as a human misunderstanding of divinity. Good and evil are anthropocentric categories, and expecting divine justice reflects unrealistic projections. God, if anything, must be understood as transcending human attributes and concerns. Justice is our responsibility—not a divine guarantee.
