The possible peace
24
Mar
The roman pax meant the submission of the dominated peoples to
the Roman empire and the end of resistance, which in fact is not peace because there is no end to the oppression of a people and this means that somehow there will persist some kind of revolt that will explode in new war.
Thus, some kind of reconciliation is necessary in which both parties do not feel that their dignified existence as a people or nation, a people within territorial and political limits, can go forward enjoying the freedom to express their customs and values.
The ceasefire is the end, albeit temporary, of hostilities, it is what opens the way for a possible dialogue or reconciliation, where concessions will be analyzed from both sides, when there is no clear possibility of this dialogue, the only way to establish peace is a third force that enters the conflict without the desire to antagonize any of the parties, but to stop them.
The problem is complex, because in extreme polarization there is no reliable force for peace, and it is very difficult for the two belligerent sides to accept it, and this can not only fuel the war even more, but can accelerate a process of extending it to other countries outside the conflict.
For humanitarian reasons, even if this risk exists, it is the only possible peace, running the risk of extrapolating the war beyond its limits, however putting it within the limits becomes imperative when there is a risk of hostilities so wide that they could affect the dearest human principles.
The current escalation that puts us on the brink of this abyss is the case, because the risk of an even greater wave of violence outside the limits of the three countries in conflict (Belarus is at war) is not just a possibility, Poland is starting to involve and the borders of NATO how to prepare.
The UN does not have enough political strength to be this force, it is necessary to create a somewhat “neutral” bloc (in a war this is almost impossible) that can place military forces sent to the conflict region and force a ceasefire, this it is possible peace.
Desirable peace is an agreement between conflicting parties, this seems more distant every day.
