"It Is Politics and Money For Which We Are Being Killed"

With 45 million views and 36,000 comments, this video, sent a few days ago to LesFemmes, was made in 2016 after the Russian airline Metrojet Flight 9268 was destroyed midflight over the Sinai Peninsula. The person who sent the video said, I really liked this message of life; the goodness of life for its own sake. So much despair in the West. So good to recall a higher aspiration.

What struck me were the current comments below the video, written by Russian people in the midst of war not only for the past 100 days, but also for the past 8 years with Ukrainian Nazis. The far right nationalist Nazis call Russians "orcs". An "orc" is an evil entity so must be killed and the maniacal Ukrainian Nazis, ignoring the Minsk accords, had been doing just that in the Donbas for the past 8 years.  

3 months ago: Today is March 4, and I also want to live! I am from Ukraine, but my relatives are in Russia. I want peace, friendship, happiness for everyone. This is not a war of people - it is politics and money for which we are being killed, and those who fire these shells are also victims of the war. Pray for everyone and for the world. I love all the people on the planet!
