@al_exquemelin Oh, nuclear power. Now I understand the comment about carbon dioxide. That helps to sell the nuclear option, even with its possible downside of radioactive poison, as seen at the infamous Chernobyl.

Interesting point: Ukraine, at war, has a more favorable rating than the United States. However, both countries are reported to have the same number of detained reporters: zero.
The same website says Russia currently has 48 detained: 34 journalists and 14 media workers. Does that sound true to you?

"You see the problem?"
No.

"start analyzing the Bible"
This is a strange thing for a Buddhist to say. Are you converting to Christianity?

Being united with God's spirit is not dependent on any work of man, including dictionaries or LLM's.
A man who relies on his own intellectual reasoning, and neglects the divine spirit of love, will never learn the truth.
Every man loves something, but that does not make all love the same.
Selfish, carnal men love darkness. That does not mean their love is good. Even the devil loves something: himself. He lacks brotherly love in his heart toward others and childlike love to God.
He makes eyes for machines, but cannot see.
Irony: Many men who are building vision systems for AI, themselves cannot see. They cannot perceive the truth, which is readily available to them, if only they would look!

What software do you use? I just uploaded a rendered video to a Mastodon post, using Kdenlive to do the editing. It is free and I have used it for many years.
I had no idea that Ukraine had a draft for this war. I asked Brave AI, and it replied:
"Ukraine currently has a mandatory military draft (mobilization) in effect for its war against Russia."
But I could not verify your claim about the lawyer. If you have a source, I would like to see it.
Ukraine forces men aged 25–60 into combat. Russia does not.
(They are drafted, an idea dreaded in America, or as some call it: "conscripted".)
While #Ukraine legally drafts men directly for combat, #Russia legally drafts them for domestic service and not into combat roles.

This Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers cat food is the favorite food of at least one of my cats. But does Purina add waste products as a filler?
Wheat gluten is something my wife avoids, because it may cause her gastrointestinal upset. How could cats be any better at digesting it?
Note: I clean up cat vomit almost daily. I suspect the pet food supply is at least partially to blame.

Another option: Ukraine could surrender.
If they had done so before the war began, many of those people that died on both sides may still be alive, right? And the many billions spent and lost would have been saved.
I do not know why they are fighting or why the two nations did not come to an agreement before the war began.

"Read the Gospel of Thomas."
I have read it and the book is in my collection. What is the doubt you would like to inject regarding that?
Yes, God is within and without every man, but within your heart it is a spark from God's Spirit. It will not grow into a flame unless you practice genuine love for others, because God is in them, too! If you hate your fellow man, you are hating the God you admit is in them. Finally, you can extinguish that spark if your heart is cold and hard.

"Ukrainians fight, because..." many of them are ordered by their own government, being drafted into the war (or "conscripted"). These do not volunteer to fight, but are sent into combat by those leaders who themselves would never go.
Majority of Ukrainians want their government to come to an agreement with Russia to end the war.
And almost no Ukrainians approve of the United States, which funded the war, at an enormous cost to US taxpayers.

When searching the internet for real people in #Ukraine (not media corporations or propaganda) posting their views of life and war in their country, I have come up with almost nothing. Then I learned that #Ukraine is under martial law, and the regime actively shuts down websites without court order.
During #war, #censorship is worse than in times of peace.
Archived list of some websites banned in Ukraine:
https://github.com/uablacklist/uablacklist.net
Website blocked by #Ukraine government, by order of Zelensky.
It appears to be a website that sells books. Do they not trust their own citizens to be able to read and think for themselves?


#Ukraine civilians are blocked from seeing this website:
https://www.ntv.ru/novosti/2997578/

Of course, #Ukraine blocks the #WildBerries websites. (They destroyed numerous warehouses belonging to that company.)
WildBerries appears to specialize in consumer goods, like #Amazon here in the United States.
I see they sell earrings resembling the cross of #Jesus Christ. That is more evidence that there are Christians in #Russia, as there are worldwide, so we should all treat each others as brothers, and make peace.
