It is said that peace is intermission between two epochs of war. Thus war is the true nature of humans in their struggle for survival and growth. Wise men also say that war is the last option of diplomatic maneuvering. Often truce or cease fire is a result of warring factions getting tired or run out of resources.
Whatever be the cause for triggering current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, justifiable or not, the modern Tsar cum Stalin of Russia has entangled himself in two conflicting states, namely, returning glory to Russia and facing wrath of civilized world community. Assuming that in the next few days/weeks, he even succeeds in meeting one or more of his limited following goals, namely, 1 Show the military might of Russia and thus help promote sales of its armaments, 2 subordinate Ukraine, and, 3 prevent NATO from encircling Russian with nuclear warheads, he has lost the moral stature in the eyes of the world community having adopted unethical means to achieve these ends
If, however, the real purpose behind this costly exercise was to force the world community to de stabilize the present Hegemony of western powers led by United States of America, it would fail miserably. This is so because, along with those perpetuating unjust World Order. Russia too would be grouped with them and lose the opportunity of taking lead in establishing new World Order. How can the world community of nations feel secure with the permanent members of Security council accused of practicing unfair means when it comes to their own case. In any case the very purpose of establishing ta new World Order would stand defeated
As for the consequences to Russia already economically weak, the after math of this war would take several decades for Russia to regain the status of economic superpower. Not to talk of tarnished image that of a terrorist nation like present Afghanistan and other outfits like Al Qaida or ISIS, it could take half a Century.
In retrospect, war on peace does not lead to viable solution.
