a global generation that won’t be storming any beaches or cities would be a blessing for the world
imagine a generation in russia that just keeps doing what they do instead of listening to an old psychopath in Moscow who decides that it would be “good” to send hundreds of thousands to their deaths to bring death and destruction to millions of others
being peaceful is not a shame!
Yeah but… they seemed to not have realized that it would be THEM being used as cannon fodder. They thought they could just reap the benefits without having to lift a finger. It was going to be “repeal and then replace”, and then once they swallowed that line, it reeled them in when it was too late to pull back.
i.e. they were promised peace - the territorial expansion was only supposed to last 3 days and that hardly counted in their eyes - and did not realize that by having elected Putin, it was already too late.
There is also no shame in fighting to demilitarize a dictatorship or tear down a theocracy, though. Tolerance ends with the Intolerant, I only hope that the Zoomers understand that at least as well as Millennials.
Good people who watch others be killed have just as much if not more shame.
fight will end when everybody refuses to fight, not when people with their noble reasons find justifiable excuses to keep fighting
enemy is not detestable theocracies or sick dictators but thinking that there are enemies
we are one and we should act like one
If only one side chooses fight, then fight will end as well. With rivers flowing with blood of the innocents.
Translation
How much years unending
Slaughters inhumane
On children fall from sky
Bombs as bunch of anger
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
Body of mother is scarred
Warriors’ place is in romance
Wars are not glory
Groans in bloody mess
Tears, dirt on uniform
Wars don’t have a place in the world
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
In tales of old empires
People don’t belive anymore
“Homo homini lupus est” is what we said when
Voice of reason was silent in world and war raged everywhere
When lives were worthless, people were seen only as soldiers
And entire world was turning to burning hell
Why didn’t we become smarter Isn’t it’s time already
To understand as a matter of fact that more important
For hammer of war to stop clutter
Tanks’ place is in museums
Let them quietly rust there
Even as toys
Kids don’t need to know them
