Putin's war will change many things. There is a certain militaristic euphoria in the West. A🧵of pacifist reflection: 👇
1/10 Ukraine has been calling for weapons to defend itself. Overcoming initial reluctance, European countries are now offering them.
2/10 Arming Ukraine could slow down the Russian offensive and force negotiations. A fundamental goal. But it can also unleash more forceful Russian military action, and a war spiral of unpredictable consequences. A big dilemma.

La Guerra de Putin va a cambiar muchas cosas. Se percibe cierta euforia militarista en occidente. Abro hilo de una reflexión pacifista, quizás polémica: 👇
1/10 Ucrania pide armas para defenderse. Salvando reticencias iniciales, los países europeos ahora se las ofrecen.
2/10 En el mejor de los casos, armar a Ucrania puede frenar la ofensiva rusa y forzar unas negociaciones. Un objetivo fundamental. Pero también puede desatar una acción militar rusa más contundente, y una espiral bélica de imprevisibles consecuencias. Un gran dilema.

Pres. Bush announcing begining of hostilities
The casus belli was, "Iraq possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction and therefore the world needed saving". United Nations Security Council resolution 678, passed in Nov. 1990, allowed the use of force to end Iraq occupation of Kuwait and RESTORE INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY.
A recent resolution 1441passed in Nov. 2002, required Iraq to allow inspections by UNMOVIC and IAEA and if there was further Iraqi breach reported to the Council, the matter would return to the Council for discussions as to next cause of action.
