Yep.
Been watching videos off and on from Dan for a little while now. Always interesting to see people who are supposed to be so different share so many similarities. In this video particularly they show the climate and environment, which resembles swaths of Appalachia, Virginia & West Virginia where I've lived all my life.
My grandfather, uncle, grandmother, mom and us grand kids would plant potatoes like they do in the video. We may have used lime instead of ash, or maybe ash, or a combination. Point being we grew potatoes just the same as these folks in Russia. We've lived off the land, in harmony with nature.
No people want war any longer. There's no place for it. We're all so much alike and can see it, can unite despite all the greatest & best efforts to divide and conquer. Speaking of, I'm going to pull back a bit of veil here.
You can look up the Pheonix Program used in Vietnam. While it was seen as controversial, it was also a success. The strategy originally came from a French general, who is said to have borrowed the core idea from Lau Tzu.
The core idea was to get little fish turn on sharks by swimming with them, whilst being a shark yourself. In Western terms we call this being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This strategy was also employed briefly in Mexico when POTUS Obama first was sworn into office. American soldiers captured, neutralized Mexican drug cartel members. They then donned the garb of these cartel soldiers, attacked other rival cartel soldiers in hit and run fashion.
Each time they swapped out garb choosing randomly between the different cartel. This in effect sparked a civil war among the cartels. Obama didn't care, he wanted the wicked white powdered substance used to waste lives to stop flowing into America from Mexico. This strategy might have stopped it fully.
"Let the cartels kill themselves off," was the logic being used. Do believe Mr. POTUS was also asked, "Really sir, how does that work out in Chicago?" Unfortunately, that wasn't heeded.
The biggest problem though was civilian collateral. Civilians were unavoidably caught up in the cross fire. The operation was instantly aborted. The soldiers walked away (left via exfiltration), despite orders to continue. The soldiers knew what was done was wrong, and would be worse to continue. They disobeyed what they felt unlawful orders.
Not a soldier faced disciplinary actions, retaliation and they never will. Yes, soldiers called their own orders. Yes, it was in effect a mutiny. It was also the ethical and morally correct thing to do.
People don't want war. Soldiers will no longer bring war to the people. Soldiers themselves are the people, have families with the people. We will soon answer an email signature line question I saw back in 1992. "What happens if there's a war but nobody shows up to fight it?"
