Well, there are 3 ways for large numbers of people to die: war, disease, and famine.
We've had disease (covid). We've got war (most immediately Russia-Ukraine), and famine is expanding. It's a self reinforcing loop too. Somehow, I don't think the next decades are going to significantly settle down.
You forgot the 4th rider: stupidity.
In all the pictures of the four riders I've seen he must have already fallen off.
Nah, he is there. It's just that people can't see him. His existance is only abvious through indirect observations.
which includes Azog brigades that are a bit like the far right parties in the EU. So after a peace is formed, those people need to be represented in Ukraine's goverment to some extent, to avoid more fighting.
Well... Asov as a regiment was only made an army part after 2014. And most of them are probably dead now.
They don't have the size to be politically important - nor directly. Maybe if they get hero status for Mariuopol, but here again: If some survive.
Don't forget that Ukraine was maybe the only European country that did not have far right wingers in their parliament - after 2014 and the officialization of the Asovs.
I flatly reject Putin's claim that the child of holocaust survivors, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, is a Nazi.
For Putin an Ukrainian Nazi is someone who does not see himself as Russian. Everyone who sees himself as Ukrainian is bad, bad is Nazi.
That's about the "thought" process.
About the German Greens and pacifists:
I think there is confusion about the term. For side A) it means no weapon and fighting whatever happens. For side B) it means avoiding fighting and not using military as a political means.
Or in other words: A) says: You have to defend by holding out the other cheek, while for B) they would never attack, but defend.
That is why the Greens (and others) in Germany where so adamant about Iran/Iraq wars and heavily protested the Afghan war, but group B) which is the biggest has no big problems helping Ukraine. They don't like it, but they know, if Ukraine falls Putin will just go on.
Both sides accuse the other of having a fundamental misunderstanding of reality (here: what motivaes Putin to attack or not attack).
