4 Anos de Guerra - Rússia Ataca Kiev (Kyiv) para "Celebrar"

Rússia atacou com 50 mísseis e quase 300 drones a infraestrutura e mesmo prédios civis na Ucrânia no dia em que a estúpida guerra completa quatro anos.

Publiquei recentemente sobre essa guerra para avaliar o que Santo Agostinho e São Tomás de Aquino diriam sobre a justiça dessa guerra.Leiam clicando aqui.

Estou agora a planejar escrever sobre o que a filósofa católica moderna Elizabeth Anscombe diria. Não é tão interessante quanto Agostinho e Aquino, nem mesmo tão católico quanto eles, mas é um debate filosoficamente importante. Primeiro, vou tentar apresentar o artigo em um seminário sobre Anscombe, para ver a reação e ver se cabe publicar.

Rezemos pela paz entre a "Grande" e a "Pequena" Rússia.
