Nothing has touched the heartstrings of the people of the world in recent times than the war between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has mobilized troops on a large scale, dispatched chechen special forces of the fighting peoples, and has also transferred the terrifying and destructive nuclear weapon "Salmat" from the Far East. From the latest reports, it can also be known that many places in Ukraine are under fire, and even according to relevant Russian media reports, more than a thousand Ukrainian military facilities have been destroyed by Russia. Judging from the overall indications, this Russo-Ukrainian war was undoubtedly the most tragic war in Europe after the Second World War.
Although since World War II, some military frictions have often broken out in many parts of the world, and there have been local wars, but neither in terms of scale nor the degree of influence, they cannot be compared with the Current Russo-Ukrainian War. In the face of the Russo-Ukrainian War, people who have experienced a long period of peace will undoubtedly have a great shock in their hearts. And through this war, what enlightenment will it bring to the world?
Revelation one: Don't push a big country into a desperate situation.
Russia's attack on Ukraine against the pressure of the whole world this time is actually a last resort. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO continued to expand eastward, and countries such as Lithuania joined NATO one after another. And in recent years, Ukraine has become closer and closer to NATO, and has repeatedly expressed its willingness to join NATO. From a geopolitical point of view, if Ukraine joins NATO, it will put the western part of Russia under NATO siege, which poses a great threat to Russia's national security.
As a world power, Russia will not allow itself to be in such a situation. So Russia brazenly launched a war to ensure its own security. Through this incident, people can also understand that a big country attaches great importance to its own national security, and once it is forced into a desperate situation, it can only go to the backwater, no matter what the cost.
Revelation two, don't easily believe false promises.
The reason why the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out was actually related to both sides, and it was not the Russian side that provoked the dispute. The reason why Ukraine will challenge Russia's bottom line is also inseparable from NATO's previous provocations and even some promises. However, after the outbreak of the war, NATO, which had sworn an oath to Ukraine, did not dare to send a single soldier, and the aid weapons were also backward stockpiles of individual air defense and anti-tank missiles, so that Ukraine did not have the advantage of weapons. Therefore, after the war began, Ukraine was in a very threatening situation.
From behind this incident, people may also feel that some of the false promises of any organization have actually changed greatly. You must not take it lightly. The real Ukraine is a living example.
Revelation three: You can't just have principles without compromise.
After the beginning of the war in Ukraine, in the face of the raging war, Ukraine and Russia also expressed their willingness to negotiate peace. However, judging from the first peace talks between the two sides, it seems that no substantive results have been achieved. Historically, many wars have actually ended in peace talks. This is also an inevitable choice after the progress of modern civilization. But between Russia and Ukraine, both countries seem to be sticking to principles about certain aspects of their own interests, thus ignoring the most important compromise in the peace talks. Perhaps both countries had some compromises at the beginning, and things would not have developed to such a point.
Revelation four, can not be without cohesion.
Judging from the course of the Russo-Ukrainian War, it seems that Ukraine pinned its hopes for victory on the help of Western countries. This undoubtedly put Ukraine, a nuclear power that once dominated the world, in a very unfavorable situation. The reason why Ukraine has gone from being a nuclear power to today's situation is inextricably linked to the poor domestic political environment and the lack of national cohesion.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine was almost divided into two factions, one pro-"Western Europe" and the other biased toward Russia. These two political forces have been fighting for many years, and the entire Ukrainian people's hearts and minds have been scattered. Therefore, from the perspective of this matter, if a country is to be rich and strong, and security, national cohesion is indispensable. Strong national cohesion allows the people to unite without fear of any difficulties or threats. But Ukraine has obviously lost this national cohesion in the process of development, which is why it has come to such a dangerous situation as it is today.
Revelation five, you can't think without a bottom line.
From the country to the individual, in fact, there must be a bottom-line thinking. This is a guarantee of human development, national security, and the stable life of the people. The main reason behind the war between Russia and Ukraine is actually the bottomless expansion of NATO. This Western organization headed by the United States has long been engaged in global affairs for its own interests and without a bottom line, and this time it has touched russia's bottom line, thus triggering the war between Russia and Ukraine that shocked the world. Therefore, looking at the essence through the problem, whether it is a country, an international organization, or an individual, you must have bottom-line thinking, otherwise it will harm others and harm yourself.
Revelation six, don't trust force too much.
In past history, it is true that many countries have resolved many problems and settled many disputes through armed wars. But force is not a panacea. With the increasing level of human civilization, some things can be completely avoided through cruel means of force. However, there are still many countries that still believe in force, which is bound to cause great harm to world stability. Therefore, from this war, people should re-examine the harm of superstitious force. Reflect on the process of national development and the shortcomings in the settlement of disputes.
Revelation Seven, don't overestimate the West.
The reason why Ukraine has repeatedly ignored Russia's warnings and protests has led to the tragedy of war. Behind this is the fascination and belief in certain countries in the West. At the same time, Ukraine has also somewhat overestimated the capabilities of certain Western countries. And the Ukrainian president lacks geopolitical foresight, after all, in the face of a country like Russia, a country with a military level of strength, some Western countries can only play tricks and cannot help in the war. Therefore, we must also objectively understand certain countries in the West, and those Western countries are indeed very strong in some places, but some aspects are also vulnerable. Western Europe has so far been unable to shake off its dependence on Russia's oil and gas, and Russia has enjoyed nuclear deterrence.
Revelation Eight, don't underestimate yourself too much.
From the history of world development, as well as many wars in the past, it is not difficult for people to find that most of the time to win wars, in fact, they have to rely on their own efforts. After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, from the initial stage of the war, Ukraine was obviously very passive. But we must not underestimate ourselves, and we must have confidence in our own country. After all, it can only be talked about, for the sake of the future of the country and the nation, the Ukrainian people should not underestimate themselves too much, at present, Ukraine has mobilized men from all over the country to stay and fight and defend the country.
Revelation nine, don't believe too much in morality.
Throughout the ages, there has been no right or wrong in war, and there is no right or wrong in the absolute sense. Often from different positions, the understanding is not the same. Therefore, in the face of war, especially in the face of great wars, do not talk too much about mercy and morality. Only by proceeding from their own national interests and seriously dealing with cruel wars can we win a better future.
Revelation ten, you cannot be unprepared for war.
From the analysis of historical experience, human beings have been peaceful for a long time, and wars will often break out. More than seventy years have passed since the Second World War. Many people are accustomed to a peaceful world situation and have also become accustomed to a peaceful life. But as long as the world continues to evolve, war is inevitable. Therefore, the sudden outbreak of this Russo-Ukrainian war can also make those who feel that the war is far away from them become sober. From then on, people can no longer be unprepared for war. Ukraine's four million refugees fled to neighboring countries, the United Nations said, for the first time in nearly four decades.
Conclusion: Although the country is great, it will perish if it is belligerent; although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war.
Regardless of whether the Russo-Ukrainian war is won or lost, there is actually no winner, Ukraine has been devastated by the war, Russia has been sanctioned by the whole world, but the enlightenment brought by the war and the damage caused by the war to the people have been formed. It is not difficult to find from the past history that war is often a double-edged sword, hurting the enemy at the same time, but also harming the interests of one's own country. In history, many powerful countries have gradually declined in the war and have since withdrawn from the stage of history. Therefore, people should love peace and cherish the good life.
For Ukraine, perhaps the best outcome is to choose to balance among the big countries, neutrality, not to join NATO, denuclearization, focus on economic development, and survive in the cracks, which is in line with the survival of small countries with their backs to big countries.
