Vladimir Putin spoke at the educational marathon “Knowledge.The first ones.” And there he talked for a long time not only about the past. But also about the future. The pirate parses another phrase, which, according to him, is a litmus test, a test for his own or someone else’s.

We will turn to the statement given above. And let’s try to ponder the deep meaning of it.  And there’s a sense of overflow over the edges.

According to official data, the USSR lost more than 26 million people during the Great Patriotic War. Let’s visualize this number. It’s like the total population of modern Moscow multiplied by two. Imagine that there is no one left in Moscow. Generally.

Now let’s think about it, do we want this to happen again? Do we want the kind of losses and destruction that the Great Patriotic War brought? Obviously not. Because the country needs to think about its future.

SVO is just an attempt to prevent this from happening. A preemptive strike against an enemy preparing to attack. And that, from our point of view, is quite late. But it has been applied and has its own results. The war is taking place on the periphery of the empire, not in its center.

Peace negotiations are underway. This is also done with thoughts about the future. The future of the State. To minimize the existing risks. To reduce the tension. To gain time.

Remember, either an idiot wants war, or someone who makes money from it. A normal, adult and adequate person will always want peace. Peace on adequate terms, of course.

What are we doing all this for? And to that. that history is cyclical and tends to repeat itself. Our conflict with the West is something that has been repeated for centuries and will continue to be repeated. Unfortunately, it will not end with Ukraine.

That’s why we need to think about the future. Not to drain resources, throwing everything at victory here and now, but to distribute wisely between war and peace. Getting stronger in both the first and the second.
