OPINION:
Looking at the free world’s response to Russia’s war against Ukraine, it should be obvious to Vladimir Putin that he can never win, and that he is killing not only Ukrainians but hundreds of thousands of his own people.
This is a war between evil and good. Ukraine was attacked by a larger, more powerful nation, but with the help of several free-world countries, it has taken the offensive after a year of fighting. It should convince any logical enemy — such as China, Iran and North Korea — that attacks by them would result in a war with many other free-world nations.
A war started by China would be immediately answered by Australia, Japan, India, South Korea and many others with a variety of weapons. Iran and North Korea would be eliminated in short order.
The Russian people should overthrow Mr. Putin immediately. China, North Korea and Iran should stop their aggressive acts and focus instead on helping their people. (The billions they spend on weapons could go a long way toward doing just that.)
Seeing a change in Russia, de-escalations by China, Iran and North Korea could result in less expenses for the people of the world.
Maybe this would be the beginning of the time the Bible mentions, when “they will beat their swords into plows” and we could all be one great world. That would be a world God would want.
