The UN is staffed by officials corrupted by Russia. Russia, as the aggressor of the attack on Ukraine, could be put under very strong pressure if desired. The fact is that it is Russia that is blocking various necessary resolutions, including on the issue of its military attack on Ukraine. But Russia itself is in the UN illegally, and even more so as part of the UN Security Light. The fact is that no one accepted Russia into the UN; it is there without permission. The USSR was admitted to the UN, and the representative of Russia after the collapse of the USSR declared that he was the legal successor, although he did not have such powers from the republics that were part of the USSR. But even after such statements, the UN did not accept Russia into its membership and did not accept any resolutions or other UN documents regarding Russia. Ukraine, as a country that previously initiated the creation of the UN, turned to this organization to consider the issue of the legality of Russia’s presence in the UN, but they refuse to do so.

At the UN, significant issues must be decided by a majority of its members and the country in question does not have to vote. And in the current situation, Russia blocks any decisions against itself and therefore the UN is unable to do anything.

Ideally it should have been the United Nations but as we have seen it seems like even this organization can not really interfere between countries that are in conflict with each other. Especially between countries that are huge and powerful and wealthy. It makes you doubt the actual role of The UN in the global welfare. They seem to be useless if they can not implement their own rules and policies to countries that break them.

But do you think there can be true settlement for these wars? Most of theses wars have been nurtured over decades and centuries and are only resurfacing because the wounds from the past have not yet been healed. So, who is truly going to settle these wars and crisis over the world when every country, now, including the power brokers are now in war with another and are only waiting for a reason to be provoked. Now, who's going to mediate over all of these conflicts?

Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February 2022 and the very brutal war in Ukraine, which is now in its third year, has disrupted the entire global security system. Before this, European countries did not see any serious threat of war and were very reluctant to allocate money for defense. Now, especially recently, the situation has changed dramatically.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) notes that global defense spending in 2023 increased by 6.8% compared to the previous year to more than $2.4 trillion.

In 2023, Ukraine was eighth in the world in terms of military spending, which rose 51% to $64.8 billion and accounted for 58% of total government spending. Russia's military spending increased by 24%, reaching an estimated $109 billion in 2023. This is 57% more than in 2014, when Russia illegally occupied Crimea. In 2023, Russian military spending amounted to 16% of total government spending.

Ukraine's military spending in 2023 amounted to 59% of Russia's. However, during the year, Ukraine also received at least $35 billion in military aid, including $25.4 billion from the United States. Taken together, SIPRI estimates that this aid and Ukraine's own military spending are equivalent to about 91% of Russian spending. Given the recently allocated $61 billion in military aid to Ukraine, Ukraine's opposition to Russia's aggressive plans will be very serious.

Moreover, military tension due to Russia’s actions has arisen all over the world. For the first time since 2009, military spending increased in all five geographic regions defined by SIPRI. Particularly significant growth was recorded in Europe, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

But the world is moving in the wrong direction again. Instead of improving technologies to solve the numerous problems of mankind, space exploration, thanks to countries like Russia, we are again sliding into the abyss of endless wars and the next death of human civilization...

I was expecting you to mention estate investment,which is the easiest investment that is making young guys in the town to shine these days, and it will make their profits last long for them to establish other businesses that will make them wealthy without the government suspecting your wealth in the environment.

You stated some investments, which young guys don't like to show interest these days because you have to know the government officials or have influence with government before you can start making profits that will make you happy from the investment.

If you want to surprise your friends and family members that you have arrived, take BTC and estate investments and you will not regret of investing your money in such investment in the future.

At least my investment in crypto has provided benefits. I don't really know about the conditions abroad. As long as my country is still fine, it's not a problem for us who are just citizens. At least the government is still working today.
Even though I don't know much about the US, NATO, Russia, Iran or other countries, I still hold investments in bitcoin.
Opening a security business requires a huge amount of capital and only certain people can do it. Meanwhile, citizens can only act according to what they can and hope that things don't get worse. Even if things get worse, they still hope to see improvement.

Russia's war against Ukraine is not just a war to destroy the armed forces of Ukraine. Putin’s Russia wants to destroy this state and, since it has not been able to achieve military superiority on the battlefield for two years, it is relying on terror and intimidation of the civilian population. Therefore, a significant portion of missile, bomb and drone strikes are deliberately aimed at civilian targets.

Russia is a terrorist country. It has always extremely cruelly suppressed and is now suppressing any resistance of the nationalities conquered over the past centuries that are part of it. Having practically no oil and gas of its own, it ruthlessly exploits the previously conquered territory and pumps out natural resources from it, and also mainly mobilizes their male population for the war with Ukraine, trying to Russify it. This does not work with Ukraine, so the cruelty in the occupied territories of Ukraine is simply off the charts.

Nazi Germany was defeated in the war against the USSR largely due to their excessive cruelty to the population of the occupied territories. The same will happen with Putin’s Russia in Ukraine.

People from Ukraine are literally scrambling and fleeing the country to escape from Russia’s brutal occupation. I am not from Ukraine but I am sure that there are many many things that happen that are not broadcasted in the news and if they were to broadcast it I am sure that it is a lot awful.

When you are at war, inflation is probably the least of your concern but rather your safety and your family members’ safety would be the top concern and just trying to survive not to mention the physical, mental and emotional distress they must have been going through

In my opinion, you are calling for widespread looting, chaos, violent redistribution of property and spheres of influence, and other revolutionary actions in order to seize power. I just can’t understand why Great Britain has bothered you so much. Yes, a bad example is contagious. What do the gangster and terrorist actions of Putin’s Russia mean when the civilized world was unable to stop the Kremlin’s elderly dwarf, who became insolent in his permissiveness? Others look at him and think: he can do everything, but I can’t? The possibilities are different, but the essence is the same - to snatch what’s bad. I don't recommend it. This all ends badly.

Inflation is not the most terrible consequence of Russia’s war on the territory of Ukraine. Violence and chaos in the world begin when the civilized world does not react in time to wars of conquest and allows the aggressor to commit violence in order, in the opinion of the world community, to avoid an even greater spread of violence. This tactic is nothing more than complacency and deception. The aggressor sees that he is allowed to commit violence and he moves on. In this case, violence spreads with even greater probability and force.

If civilized states had taken decisive steps to put Putin's Russia in its place after Russia seized the Ukrainian roll-island of Crimea and territories in eastern Ukraine in 2014, there would have been no large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The West, due to its inactivity, has now reached the point where outbreaks of violence and local wars are occurring in many regions. The United States and European countries in the initial phase of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were afraid to transfer effective weapons to Ukraine for protection, and now, because of this, they are forced to sharply increase military production in their countries and are directly preparing to defend their territory.

It is very crucial for the government to ensure the safety and security of its citizens,as well as the integrity of the nation at large.The government seems to have relented in ensuring  safety of its citizens.When traumatic situations like this occur,people fear for their lives and safety,because of that,they provide cheap and easy means for themselves to validate their safety.
 Some persons even relocate to other countries that their security is relatively sure and guaranteed.One of the things that is supposed to be thier no one priority is to continue to protect citizens from violence and from the worst catastrophes of life,but instead,the governments have made individuals to cater for their safety and wellbeing  all alone.

There is another nuance here. Russia inherited the army and ideology of the USSR. It was like this - "with a big iron fist, out of 100,500 tanks, we break through the enemy's defenses and sweep everything in our path! At the same time, we do not have unacceptable losses of both equipment and manpower."
The concept of warfare in the West, I'm talking about NATO, is different - to save people as much as possible, to deliver strikes with the utmost precision, with minimal losses and expense. That is, the classic transition from quantity to quality. What we are actually seeing now at the front. Moreover, Russia deceived itself - puffing out its cheeks and telling tales about its weapons as "unparalleled" ... Hoping that everyone will believe this and be afraid to resist in the event of a confrontation. But there is another nuance here - the goals of hostilities and mativation. Russia is waging an aggressive terrorist war, akin to medieval seizures of adjacent territories. We are defending our country, our freedom, our right to live and live as we see fit. Therefore, the Russian army (regular) is demotivated and does not have a strong will, our small army and people are extremely motivated to win. This is also very important....

That's why corruption can't easily be tackle in most Africa especially the west Africa. People enrich their purse by enslaving others. It's a very bad idea which needs to be stop for Africa progress.

I read a very mixed dystopian plot. Will I have nightmares when I sleep tonight? :)

Of course, we are going through a tough economic test after the pandemic, but I think you are too pessimistic. First of all, there is the fact that we have to continue economic cooperation in order to use the world's resources efficiently. Russia or China or any other country cannot stay strong and secure forever alone. Separating from the global economy and being an isolated state does not make any country stronger. That's why I believe everything will be alright when the time comes.

Investments in defense and security will definitely grow, but not at the level of ordinary people, but at the level of states. The war in Ukraine showed the effectiveness of high-precision weapons of NATO countries and at the same time the low efficiency of weapons of the Russian Federation. Therefore, some states are already refusing to purchase Russian weapons, in particular, the S-300 and S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems. At the same time, after the stunning effectiveness of the American missile HIMARS, a dozen of which changed the course of the war in favor of Ukraine, the demand for their purchase has become a queue for several years ahead. Therefore, the military-industrial complex of NATO countries will be inundated with orders.

In addition, in view of the constant rhetoric of Russia with threats towards the countries of Europe, there is a complete rearmament and strengthening of its defense capability. Thus, Russia's military aggression has given another round to the arms race, and this influence will last for several decades to come.

I do not quite agree that this is an investment. In some ways, this is an investment in security. And the development of the military-industrial complex is a good impetus for the development of the economy itself.
Unfortunately, in 2022, we are seeing how fragile the world is if inadequate countries / governments have a lot of weapons, and the potential victim of their aggression is engaged in the development of civilian areas.
There is one more nuance - the international system of treaties, agreements, laws - turned out to be not working. International institutions do not fulfill their duties, some do not understand at all who play into the hands and sabotage the legal processes. Criminals have veto power, criminals can block investigations against them...
In a word, it is necessary to speak not about investments in air defense, but about the global restructuring of international relations, the rights of unions, the guaranteed implementation of laws and obligations. Well, yes - invest in defensive and high-tech weapons

We've been dealing with all of those problems ever since. And that's why it's no problem anymore if you've been dealing with it and got used to it. And that's why many are motivated to get out of the rat race so, they can have a good life and even if there are the existing problems in the society and governments, they'll barely affected by it.

That's not an investment and don't teach people to rob others that are working properly and thriving to survive in their daily lives.

While guns and violence are the most useful items in video games.

I think things are a little different in life.

Imagine if you're stranded on a deserted island. How valuable would a gun or violence be in that scenario? Water, food and shelter would likely be your highest priorities. If you're alone or in a sparsely populated area, there will not be much competition for water, food, shelter, etc.

But if you are in a densely populated area, there could be very high competition for those things. In which case a gun and violence might have greater value.

I think living in a self sufficient community, with good people who organize and network could be the best security. The "army of one" approach and isolationism could be bad ideas. Having a lot of tough and reliable friends who produce their own food and energy, in a sparsely populated well defended area, who are well equipped and armed could be the formula for survival. Conflicts which arise will not be resolved by an army of one but rather I think barbarian hordes.

This is not a climate for investment, no matter how safe it may seem. Many central platforms provide services with a certain standard of honesty, especially since the crypto field is not secure due to the nature of privacy.

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine is causing inflation,and inflation is bringing hardship on the people, if the war did not come to an end soon all what you have said will be experienced because some people will no longer listen to their government,since the government can't fend for them anymore.

Violence is already everywhere but not up to its peak, the world is not save anymore due to corruption and high crime rates. Terrorist, bandits and kidnappers are everywhere and when that time comes,people might be left with no option but join these group for free access to weapons and dominance.
