Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 Feb. As a result, more than 600 high rise buildings, 48 schools, hospital etc were destroyed. Moreover, thousands of Ukrainians and Russians were killed.
Currently, NATO member countries including US are helping Ukraine with finance and military weapons to fight Russia and prolong the war. Russia has started to use hyper-sonic missiles to hit a military base. It looks like Russia President Putin is so determined to conquer Ukraine even if he has to use nuclear weapons. Russia has the most nuclear weapons in the world.
Effect of a nuclear war:
Besides the immediate destruction of cities by nuclear blasts, the potential aftermath of a nuclear war could involve firestorms, a nuclear winter, widespread radiation sickness from fallout, and/or the temporary (if not permanent) loss of much modern technology due to electromagnetic pulses.
It looks like the world is divided by NATO member countries on one side and Russia together with China on the opposite side.
Under the circumstances, it is much better for NATO member countries including US to talk peace with Russia to reduce property damages and save human lives.
In fact, US being the richest and the most powerful nation in the world, US is holding the key for world peace. US should develop friendship with Russia and China. Friendship creates trust and fear creates distrust.
If the world is more peaceful, all the nations can reduce their military budgets and use the savings to generate more income to improve their economies.
Military expenditure:
National security is the security of a nation-state, regarded as a duty of government. It includes the nation’s citizens, economy, and institutions. National security is a vital priority in several countries worldwide and requires a large budget to be built and maintained. Only 36 countries worldwide do not have a military.
The total world military expenditure was about $1.917 trillion in 2019. The ten countries with the highest defense spending are:
The United States ($750 billion) China ($237 billion) Saudi Arabia ($67.6 billion) India ($61 billion) United Kingdom ($55.1 billion) Germany ($50 billion) Japan ($49 billion) Russia ($48 billion) South Korea ($44 billion) France ($41.5 billion)
The United States spent $750 billion on defense in 2020, more than the next seven countries (China, Saudi Arabia, India, France, Russia, the UK, and Germany). National security in the US is the third most expensive government program behind Social Security and Medicare. Historically, the United States has consistently spent more on defense than any other G-7 nation. The U.S. also has the second-largest military worldwide at 1.358 million members.
China is the second-largest defense spender in the world, spending $237 billion in 2020. This is still less than half of what the United States spent. China’s defense spending has increased every year for the past 24 years and was 10 times higher in 2018 than in 1994.
France, the tenth-largest defense spender, has mandatory military service for up to one year. Additionally, Russia requires one year of military service, and South Korea requires military service longer than 18 months.
Here are the 10 biggest arms manufacturers:
10. Almaz-Antey (Russia): $8.5 billion
9. Leonardo (Italy): $8.8 billion
8. Thales (France): $9 billion
7. Airbus group (Trans-European): $11.2 billion
6. General Dynamics Corp. (US): $19.4 billion
5. Northrop Grumman Corp. (US): $22.3 billion
4. BAE Systems (UK): $22.9 billion
3. Raytheon (US): $23.8 billion
2. Boeing (US): $26.9 billion
1. Lockheed Martin Corp. (USA): $44.9 billion
Lockheed (USA) employs over 100,000 people worldwide. The largest arms manufacturer in the world, Lockheed Martin specializes in everything from global defence, security and aerospace.

They say power corrupt absolutely! Imagine if you are in position of power! Imagine you are a prophet like Mohamed! Would peace be your goal! No, it's all about dominating others! That's why Mohamed was so involved in so many wars!
Say you are President of US! Would peace be your legacy! Come on, the moment you step into power, you are surrounded by US obligachs tellng you the facts of life about in power! If you refuse like Donald Trump, be prepared to be thrown under the bus!
If you say Kings of rich oil nation like Saudi! Yeah, you would be sponsoring every islamic extremists out there!
How come! How come those in power tend to be war mongers! That my friends separate those who tasted power and those of us who are peace loving!
You see, as ordinary humans, we see the idealism of humanity! But for those who hold power, their minds soon corrupted by dark human nature!
We all have it! Just that we don't have that power! If Grandpa Koon happens to be the next President of Russia, i tell you, even at his old age, he will too fire the next invasion of former Soviet countries!

Can you imagine head of Chatolic Church actually torture, burn, jail and do all sort of evils to innocent lives just by branding them witches! I mean can you accept the head of so called christianty committed the worst genocide in human history!

Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 Feb. Also, Nazi Party founded on 24 Feb. Coincidence?
God is can humorous at times.
Apart from the Nazi, Ukrainians killed the most Jews ...the Ukrainians land flooded with the blood.
Is Divine justice!
Do not be a hypocrite, why cry for Ukraine. Of course, never pray that God will punish your enemy. But God's honor will be highly elevated/exalted when the wicked are destroyed by divine intervention.
The comedian had communication with the Knesset members yesterday. Will they be moved to tears by him?

3 things -
1. Keep the Commanments
2. Fix our characteristics/behavior - no anger, jealousy (neighbor traded-in for a new model WW, we can't sleep..), generous/don't be stingy towards wife & children (else how to help the orphanage/widows, got to help our family members first), no false witnesses, don't deceive/steal from the customers to sponsor the poor children, honor our fathers & mothers, women should wear modestly (lipstick, high heal like the pencil) & mini skirts are for the public to stare only (women don't do those if they are kept in the places away from the crowd)....
3. Dislike what God disliked..
