There is a basic reason why Putin ordered the invasion of
Ukraine. He and his cronies have stolen everything they can
steal. It is similar to the Argentine strongman Gaultier, who
with his cronies had looted the Argentine economy to the
bone. So to distract public attention away from their crimes
Gaultier decided that taking the Falklands from Britain was a
great idea. A victory of that sort would buoy up his standing
and ..., yeah it did not work. Putin's invasion of Ukraine
was meant to do just the same, and the outcome does not look
too different.
The fall of the Soviet Union did not displace people in
charge. All they did was to tear up their communist party
cards, and the commissars of various industries declared
themselves capitalists and owners. They became the oligarchs
of Russia and these gangsters have been plundering Russia
ever since. The Russian economy has barely muddled along for
the last 3 decades. Putin is probably the second most wealthy
man in the world.
Please folks, knock off the religious rubbish. I see
absolutely no reason to think there exist any form of
disembodied conscious agent.
*I wholeheartedly agree with your points in this post. However,

yourself how there is anything in the universe that knows
anything. AG*
It evolved. It turns out that knowing stuff improves the chance
of being naturally selected to reproduce.
Sure, but what is the origin of the self-reflective function of mind
or consciousness? AG
It makes it possible to entertain and deceive others. Every hear of
seduction?
