Humanity’s priority: stop war and avoid nuclear catastrophe – Everything Law and Order Blog

Around the world, people are watching the horrors of war unfold in real time as the Russian military continues its invasion of Ukraine. The immediate chaos unleashed on the people of Ukraine is unbearable, and the threat of nuclear war has once again forced humanity to confront the possibility of mutually assured destruction; we need to do whatever we can to stop the bloodshed now and avert worldwide catastrophe.

  1. Jimmy Dore explains the left and right very well, none of the left ever protested like in Ottawa just smash and yell thier views a tactic to create division and anger.

  2. Hi, we can cooperate with each other! If the ones representing us cant, or wont, or do but to orchestrate precise fear and control – why wait for them to learn new tricks? We, ordinary citizens, can cooperate and we can share the responsibility it takes to replace the actors who occupy our reality. We have to be sincere so we can accommodate all the vital changes and duties. Must be aware that money talks and it is not the language of true cooperation or trust, it is the language of many things that will undermine and harm us.

  3. We tried to stop the western mic and media from poking the bear but too many people did not see that was happening and were convinced by the pokers to join in and amplify the effort until this reaction; this outcome was deliberate – why?
    Staging, lights, cameras, action – all for what, real and finite consequences? Why? MADness

  4. Ahh, that's why you care Putin may launch at the USA. if he does will you still vote for more of the same? This meeting is based on cowardice and hypocrisy.

  5. Do you actually give a shit about Yemen? hundreds of thousands have died many from disease, Twenty years of occupation in Afghanistan no one in the USA cared. The USA still occupies Syria, sort that one out.

  6. It might be a small thing, but what people at home can do right now to help the people in Ukraine is to report all the false information from Russian propaganda to YT !!! Slava Ukraini 💙💛

  7. President Putin you are a disgrace to your people and the people around the world you are a terrorist you have committed treason against God's children and against the peaceful Harmony of the civilian people time for the soldiers to take down toxic leaders further treasonous acts against humanity

  8. Sanctions are an act of war. The U S citizens have had sanctions on them for decades…. Sanctions on healthcare, education and jobs.

  9. The soldiers need to take these so-called leaders the act like whiny babies and put them all in a room together to cry it out there is never a good reason for war it only hurts the innocent civilians while men and women in power sit back and get rich and laugh stop sacrificing yourself for these ignorant babies flip the script and hold them accountable for there decisions that harm innocent people why do you fight a war for a leader that does not care about you or your family or hurting innocent men women and children for land money resources and Power we need to stop these so-called leaders they are doing more harm to humanity why they sit in their castles and we do their bidding why they escalate things to World War and they don't sacrifice you are their power it's time to take that power away they have betrayed us and have committed treason against us leadership terrorism I called for the soldiers to flip the script take down the leadership that is forcing war on innocent you are backing the wrong people and destroying innocent families for greed the decisions you are making now will destroy everything that are forefathers have put together these people are not leaders they are destroyers of all things good and peaceful and they do this at your expense and your life and your sacrifice we need to take down these terrorists that make decisions that affect us all before they destroy everything that we have built together God bless my brothers and sisters around the world

  10. Imperialism through “patriots” always calling for a “show of strength” meaning military might. In the meantime countries are being robbed of their natural resources violation sovereign nations whenever it’s is profitable – the latest ? Huge reserves of oil found in the Golan Heights. But that belongs to another nation – it is occupied territory right? And who will benefit?

  11. We should add Ukraine and Sweden and Finland to NATO and put more sanctions on Russia and make it's regime suffer!
    we have no time we must do it now!

  12. The only way that can be fixed is too get the Democratic Progressive party out. And left the other party put it back together.

  13. Best of luck, I hope y'all can make a difference somehow.
    Meanwhile, we should all be digging in, so that the peace loving can survive to see a world without the military industrial complex.

  14. This needs to happen:

    The movement has begun. We the powerless need to become the powerful without becoming corrupted by our power. We must be ruled as the wealthy power people must be ruled by Fairness. There is no other way. Enforce Fairness from everyone. Enforce Fairness for everyone. We only surrender to this one idea as does everyone else, especially the wealthy and powerful. We surrender to no one. We surrender to this idea only. Those who fight against fairness must be punished until they agree to mutual Fairness. We the people establish fairness. There is one that has all power. It is everything. It is all. It is truth. It is all there is. It has all power.

  15. Add, America ( the hypocrite) stop murdering Black people. I don't see you addressing this real issue. Are Blacks expendable? Hypocrites.
