English to english translations are tricky. Being sure to see both points of view is a very good thing for China to do. Also for Russia to do. And for USA to do. Not to mention West Ukraine, and East Ukraine, and Donetsk, and Luhansk, and the other new country in the east. Seeing many points of view is an intelligent thing to do. Unintelligent people can't do that. Americans seem particularly myopic or is it Cyclopic? Translation services needed. Another reason to have resolution as soon as possible is that immediate, meaning right now, resolution will mean immediate cessation of shooting, injuring and killing. China's foreign minister has issued a call for Russia and Ukraine to restart peace talks "as soon as possible" as Beijing fears the conflict "could escalate and get out of control." It's also good to avoid escalation as escalation will lead to obliteration of a billion and starvation of another 5 billion, and fighting and death of another billion, or 2 billion. Every cloud has a silver lining and the CO2 Alarmists will be happy as that will mean less CO2 emissions and reversion to reglaciation and even more deceased. Of course 90% or 98% of CO2 Alarmists will also go through the dying process, so maybe they wouldn't be too happy about that. It's a year ago that I proposed the solution and constitution of new little countries in Eastern Ukraine, same as in ex-Yugoslavia, like Scotland has independence voting, as does Ireland, as did Brexit, as did Quebec, as did New Zealand. Unfortunately Hong Kong was thrown to the wolves and no voting was allowed. Similarly the megalomaniac thugs in Beijing disfavour voting in Taiwan which of course is a lovely little independent country that can easily manage their own affairs. While voting is less than perfect = greedy people vote to take opm and do all sorts of bad things, it does have some redeeming merits that make it generally attractive. It very much beats the political process currently being used in Bakhmut to decide who should collect taxes, fix roads, maintain property records, enforce commercial contracts and provide passports, record births, deaths and marriages, and allocate radio spectrum. The current political process being used is how chimpanzees arrange things in the jungle. Unfortunately Americans are very like chimps, so they persevere with the process. The same process was used by USA in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, Yemen and various other places. It doesn't seem to be a good way of sorting out who should arrange resealing of roads, and construction of storm-water drains, auction of spectrum and management of border crossings. My offer stands to manage the resolution discussions immediately. I've never been to Crimea though a couple of my ancestors visited there in the 19th century, suffering ill health as a result of injuries received. I did fly over it, in fear, a couple of weeks before the Malaysian airliner was shot down. I could hardly believe pilots were so totally retarded as to fly an airliner over such a war zone. They shut the stable door after the horse had bolted. Same as the idiot pilots who flew airliners across the USA in 1999 with the cockpit door open barely a metre from me [we were in the first row of seats] = I didn't say anything as aircrew are unintelligent and would take it as a threat and attack me. After the Twin Towers were removed, the geniuses running airlines figured out that CLOSING the cockpit doors is a better idea. Having an aircraft full of chimps with nothing between the chimps and flight controls is a bad idea. I'm also happy to resolve the political situation of Taiwan too. And we can do that one BEFORE anybody gets shot. While doing the Taiwan one, I'd like to throw in a free reconstitution of the UN into an organisation and political process fit for the 21st century = it's a bit silly for Fiji to have the same vote as India and for Brexit to have the same vote as China and Japan to be no more important than Iceland or Cook Islands. I'd like to include a constitutional process for Tradable Citizenship as a personal property right, so that people OWN their countries rather than being owned by them. And they can sell their citizenship at auction and go somewhere else, without losing their share of the value that has been created. Mqurice
