War children


02 January 2023 - 09:02

It was the usual Monday. Of those who don't really want to prepare artifacts at eight in the afternoon and fight.

Protected against the arrival of the cold, they got out of the car and there were a set of shadows chasing the worn skin. In the face of cold horror, in an unknown land playing football, far from its homeland.

When you see that ability to abstract yourself from the horror of suffering, something is broken inside you. They are children, in short, exiled from war that will increase the cracks between the brothers. They are the children of an interested rival among leaders who are going to clean a lot of innocent people.

Apart from the equation, only a satrapa would send its citizens to what seems a certain death. Thousands of bodies to bury the connections between the Soviet peoples. Vladimir Putin, the famous doilor in this part of the world, and Volodomir Zelenski, promoters of this struggle away from its end.

"We are outraged to see the body of a curved child to close our house doors from one side to the other."

Zelenski has baptized the new Western martyr. Yes, a ruler who feeds the belligerent propaganda established within public opinion and, at the same time, unashamedly claims his discontent with his people. Surely the children who had fun before me will not offer them a second of their time.

In my profession I find it hard to ingest a lot of titles that are published daily. The word "invasion" is repeated a great deal, even though the war between Ukraine and Russia began in 2014, when the right-wing rebellion provoked Euromaidana. Neonazism with lambskin, in short, camouflaged within the Armed Forces. These paramilar groups are well known in Donbass and may reveal the attacks of the Kiev Government. It is the result of the importance of the story, of a story that has displaced many protagonists.

The paternalism of Western society is repugnant. We are full of criticism of Russia, but we look elsewhere when we denounce crimes committed by NATO and the United States across the globe. What will a young Syrian think when he sees Europe hosting Ukrainian refugees with open arms? The Union abandoned them for not being white or blonde. Racism at its height.

The media complement their faces with disgusting messages, promoting a confrontation that will kill people who are disinterested in arms and borders. They put on a banner, making them believe that that empty gesture will give them some moral tranquillity.

Is it the only war in the world? From the comfort of Yemen, Ethiopia, Palestine, Afghanistan -- we make outrage by seeing the body of a curved child to close our house doors. We are hypocritical, because we will never be close enough to risk.

Arabs, Slavs, Orientales -- nobody is worth carrying that burden on their back.
