War is never the answer

This blog was never supposed to be full of my political statements but after Russia invaded Ukraine and started killing people, I just can’t look the other way.

But what can you do to prevent power-hungry leaders to steal something that doesn’t belong to them? Why do they believe that starting a war and attacking innocent people is the answer? Why do they have to grab more than their share of the resources available?

The only consolation these days is how countries have united against them. How companies have suddenly developed a sense of social responsibility (about time…), and how we see that financial boycotts are more effective than weapons.

I’m grateful we won’t see the start of the 3. World War and we should probably “thank” Putin for uniting nations more efficiently than we could have done ourselves. But still, war is never to answer. No matter how little you care about other people’s lives.

Still, I think we should remind ourselves that most Russians have never wanted a war against Ukraine. Many children born from Russian immigrants have no responsibility or blame for what Putin and his likes are doing. So, don’t let an 8-year-old child suffer. Let him/her play with your child and don’t blame them for what is not their fault.

And to Coca Cola, now is your chance to show us what you’re made of. If in doubt, take a look at what Apple, Ikea and H&M are doing right now. As for the rest of us, let’s stop filling the pockets of those supporting the war.

One thought on “War is never the answer

  1. Thank you for your statement. We boycott all products from Russia and Belarus. Now we’ll boycott Coca Cola, McDonalds and the other multinational groups which still support Putin and his Gang.
