'To wage war is to destroy the planet.'

The soul of humanity cries out from the crowded streets of Moscow, from steps near the Kremlin, as a man——brings the slaughter of civilians in Bucha back to the home country...not by killing a bunch of Russians, but by posing, publicly, as dead himself, with his hands tied behind his back.

Such awareness is an affront to those in power. In Russia, under Putin, it's illegal. Thousands of Russians have been arrested for protesting the Ukraine invasion. I believe this matters with an enormity well beyond the scope of conventional reporting, especially war reporting. War is about much more than strategy and tactics, winning and losing. To wage war is to be infinitely less than who we truly are, yet this is how the world has organized itself.

"After 21 years of U.S. war and invasion of Afghanistan, resulting in a humanitarian and refugee crisis, Kabul is now largely left on its own. Last September, the UN refugee agency warned that 'a major humanitarian crisis is looming in Afghanistan, yet nothing has been done to address this 'looming' crisis, which has greatly worsened since then."

"Humans," the manifesto states,"have begun to separate themselves from nature, and to stand as a dominant species that is trying to control the natural world, unleashing global devastation. The result of this fundamental separation is an environmental crisis and an inner crisis, violence against the Earth and interpersonal violence, which are two sides of the same coin.
