History keeps on repeating itself

March 8, 2022 12:33am CST
The war on Ukraine is all we hear in the news nowadays and people keep comparing it to past wars in Europe and with good reason. I myself can't help but recall the spanish Civil War especially when I read an article about non-ukrainians fighting for ukraine. compare the two articles about two wars happening decades apart-- https://finance.yahoo.com/news/insight-foreign-fighters-ukraine-offers-195204869.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall Do you see any similarities and differences? I hope this situation does not get worse. Praying for Ukraine and everybody else.

I never thought that Russia would ACTUALLY attack and start the war. I thought they just said so always. I feel Putin has no common sense. He's harming Ukraine and his own country people.

I see exactly the same scenario we had before World War II started. This one will be worse.

Those who believe in wars in the present day are evil as they take care to be safe while the innocents are taken as expendable. Wars prove nothing - why fight for a piece of land when most do not own any anyway? What use ideology - they are not worth fighting for. People want to be left alone to live out their lives anywhere they chose to.
