Pandora's Box is open!
Many have heard the phrase "to open Pandora's Box" - to do an act that will lead to irreparable consequences. But few are aware of its origin. The legend itself:
"Pandora was the first woman on earth. Ancient Greek mythology says that she was a woman created by the gods.
Treacherous Zeus gave Pandora a magnificent box as a wedding gift, in which were collected all human sins, evils, diseases and vices. And of course she opened it...
Out of it came ghostly creatures: sickness, poverty, sadness, despair, death, and all the evils of the world.😥
Pandora slammed the lid shut, but it was too late. Scary ghosts scattered across the world, all but one thing that lay at the very bottom - Hope.
Hence the expression, "Hope dies last".
But then Epimetheus, Pandora's husband, suddenly heard another thin, barely audible voice coming from the box. Pandora, regretting her action, begged her husband not to give in to pity and leave the box closed.
To which Epimetheus said that she had caused many woes to people, if another one was added, it would be no worse.
He opened the box, from which the timid Hope flew out. She touched them - and the pain went away.🕊
Then hope flew down to earth to help people who had fallen prey to the evil vices and diseases that still plague mankind."
As it happens, hope always comes after trouble and makes people believe in the best. Even today, in Ukraine's darkest times, hope comes to those who are suffering. But Pandora's Box is open not only in Ukraine!
Uncle Vova opened Pandora's Box in Russia!
First of all, it should be noted that those cadet boys who swore so heartfelt and devoutly in loyalty to Uncle Vova, have long since reached conscription age. It is unlikely that they are now singing - "Uncle Vova, we are with you". Many are already lying in Ukrainian soil. And many, instead of the "last battle" to which Putin called them, have chosen to flee to Georgia, Kazakhstan, and even, God forbid, to wild Mongolia.
Russia has never known such a mass exodus from moralization in its centuries-long history. Who can count now how many men of conscription age have left Russia and how many of them will return to their homeland? And this at a time of catastrophic population decline in a far from overpopulated country.
But this is not the final assault that Putin will bestow on Russia at the "curtain" of his reign.
By attempting to annex Ukrainian territories through "referendums," Putin is opening a "Pandora's Box" that could become a tool for Russia's own disintegration. After all, there is a separatist movement after defeat in this war. The regions, which are already honestly held as part of Russia, may have a reasonable question - "Why, was it possible?"
How happy China will be to take advantage of this Russian method. Why wouldn't it instigate similar referendums in the Siberian and Far Eastern regions?
If Russia uses nuclear weapons on Ukraine, everyone will use them on Russia, including biological and chemical weapons. Israel will use them on Iran, Iran on Israel. North Korea will hit South Korea and Japan. The U.S. and China, I don't know who. Pakistan and India at each other.
All in all, Putin has decided to light not only the whole of Russia on fire before he dies, but the whole planet. In revenge for his obstruction. And he crossed everyone - China, the West, the rulers of the world, the oligarchs, the chemists, all the peoples of the world. Cooler even than Yanukovich. The whole planet wants to kill Putin as quickly as possible, time is short - a few weeks to put out the fire. "We'll blow up the world fire on the mountain of all the bourgeois."
So Putin is a suicide bomber, his days are numbered. His death benefits everyone!!!👌
Yes! Ukraine is fighting for its territorial integrity. And it is supported and assisted by almost the entire civilized West.
And who will support Russia if it itself is the initiator of such methods of tearing away other people's territories?
Putin is clearly towing the path of Hitler, and I hope he is disposed from his position before its too late.
There is no justification for the violence against the Ukrainians .
