hey…hey you…yeah you…

don’t give up on humanity

[his-heart-hymns]

World war 2 officially started when Germany invaded Poland,but prior to that Germany had already annexed a number of territories and the rest of the Europe just meekly accepted.

When russia annexed Georgia and crimea Europe once again accepted the aggression and the result is full blown invasion of Ukraine.

At what point do we learn from history???

Will history repeat itself???

I can’t be the only one thinking that humanitarian aid is not a solution. It fights symptoms, but until that cause is eradicated, the need for aid doesn’t go away.

With so much conflict, globally, I want to help, but I don’t have money to spare.

What I can do is contact my legislators. I can call for arrests or ceasefires or peace talks. There is so much emphasis on humanitarian aid and not enough on fixing the problem.

Don’t get me wrong, humanitarian aid makes it so that there is someone alive to enjoy a “post problem” world, but we have to fix the problem. We can’t have generations growing up in the same conflict their whole life.

Now the nuance is that I’m from a foreign country and it never goes well when a foreign country steps in to take over, but the US could stop ACTIVELY CONDONING GENOCIDE. And maybe use its weight to pressure people for good.

And also, you’d think people would hear about an unstable country have a governmental collapse. But I found out that Feb 20 was when the DRC government dissolved and they are now building a new one today. I found that out today. Maybe the media could step the fuck up?

The Neologism "Polymachia" in History

Welcome to our latest blog post where we delve into the concept of "polymachia" and its application in history. "Polymachia" refers to multiple one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict. It's a term that can be used to describe a wide range of situations, from real-world conflicts to hypothetical scenarios. In history, there are multiple events that involve multiple actors engaged in different fights or battles to achieve a common goal. By examining these events through the lens of "polymachia," we gain a better understanding of how multiple actors can work together in a conflict.

In this blog post, we will be discussing three historical examples that illustrate how "polymachia" can be used to describe different forms of conflicts. These examples are: The Second World War, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the outbreak of the First World War. Each of these examples will provide an in-depth look into how "polymachia" can be used to describe conflicts, whether it's multiple states allying with one another, non-state actors defending people, or entangling alliances spiraling into more widespread polymachia. By understanding these historical examples, we can gain a better understanding of how "polymachia" can be used to describe conflicts and how multiple actors can work together in a larger conflict.

Example 1: The Second World War

World War II: An Exploration of "Polymachia" in Global Conflicts

The Second World War, which lasted from 1939 to 1945, is one of the most significant conflicts in human history. It was a global war that involved multiple nations fighting in different theaters of war, with multiple battles happening simultaneously. The war was fought between the Axis powers (comprising of Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the Allies (comprising of the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom). The Allies fought against the Axis powers in different parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific.

This conflict can be seen as an example of "polymachia" where multiple states were engaged in different fights to achieve a common goal of defeating the Axis powers. The different theaters of war and battles that took place simultaneously can be seen as different one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict. The different alliances that the states formed can be seen as different actors searching for context-specific solutions to achieve a common goal.

The Second World War is one of the most significant historical examples of "polymachia" that showcases how multiple states can work together in a larger conflict to achieve a common goal. It also illustrates how the different theaters of war and battles that took place simultaneously can be seen as different one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict.

Example 2: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

Self-Defense and Resistance: Resistance Fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a Jewish resistance that occurred in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. The Warsaw Ghetto was a neighborhood in Warsaw, Poland where the Nazis confined the Jewish population before their mass extermination. Jewish resistance fighters, who were not a part of any official military organization, fought against the German army in the Warsaw Ghetto. This fight lasted for nearly a month and was one of the first armed uprisings by Jews during World War II.

This event can be seen as an example of "polymachia" where non-state actors were engaged in different fights to achieve a common goal of self-defense. The Jewish resistance fighters were not part of any state, but they were searching for context-specific solutions to defend themselves and their community. They were a dispersed group of people who were fighting against a much stronger enemy, and their actions can be seen as different one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising illustrates how non-state actors can also play a vital role in a conflict and how they can be engaged in different fights to achieve a common goal. It also illustrates how "polymachia" can be used to describe the actions of a dispersed group of people who are not part of any state but are fighting for self-defense.

Example 3: The Outbreak of the First World War

Entanglement and Escalation: The Consequences of Alliances in Wider Scale Wars

The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 was a global conflict that was caused by the complex web of alliances between different European countries. The war started with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and quickly escalated into a global conflict. The war involved multiple nations fighting in different theaters of war, with multiple battles happening simultaneously. The warring nations formed alliances and coalitions, each fighting for different reasons and in different places.

This can be seen as an example of "polymachia" where multiple states were engaged in different fights, but due to the entangling alliances, the conflict spread and escalated into a larger, more widespread war. The different battles and theaters of war can be seen as different one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict. The entangling alliances can be seen as different actors searching for context-specific solutions to achieve a common goal.

The outbreak of the First World War is an example of how the problem of entangling alliances can lead to a situation of "polymachia" where multiple nations are drawn into a conflict, leading to a wider scale of warfare. It also illustrates how "polymachia" can be used to describe a conflict where multiple nations were engaged in different fights but due to the entangling alliances, the conflict spread and escalated into a larger, more widespread war.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, "polymachia" is a term that can be used to describe multiple one-on-one battles or many fights happening simultaneously in a larger conflict. Through the examination of historical examples, we have seen how "polymachia" can be used to describe a wide range of situations, from real-world conflicts to hypothetical scenarios. By understanding how "polymachia" can be used to describe different forms of conflicts, we gain a better understanding of how multiple actors can work together in a larger conflict.

The three historical examples discussed in this blog post are: The Second World War, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the outbreak of the First World War. Each of these examples illustrates how "polymachia" can be used to describe different forms of conflicts, whether it's multiple states allying with one another, non-state actors defending people, or entangling alliances spiraling into more widespread polymachia. The Second World War illustrates how multiple states can work together in a larger conflict to achieve a common goal, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising illustrates how non-state actors can be engaged in different fights to achieve a common goal of self-defense, and the outbreak of the First World War illustrates how the problem of entangling alliances can lead to a situation of "polymachia" where multiple nations are drawn into a conflict, leading to a wider scale of warfare.

By understanding these historical examples, we can gain a better understanding of how "polymachia" can be used to describe conflicts and how multiple actors can work together in a larger conflict. We hope that this blog post has helped you understand the concept of "polymachia" and its application in history.

Women and girls are the first to suffer when drought strikes poor and rural areas, and water strategies around the world must reflect this, the UN has said in a plea to countries to mend conflicts over water resources.

Stress on water resources, which is being exacerbated by the climate crisis, as well as overuse and pollution of the world’s freshwater systems, is a large source of conflict, according to the latest UN world water development report.

The impacts of sharing water, and the possibilities of harnessing cooperation over water resources into wider peace strategies, are often overlooked, the report’s authors found. Better cooperation over freshwater access would also play a role in improving the lives of women and girls.

Women and girls carry primary responsibility for water collection in poor and rural areas around the world, and a lack of safe sanitation is a factor in girls dropping out of education, and increases their vulnerability and that of women.

Audrey Azoulay, director general of Unesco, the UN agency that publishes the annual report on behalf of UN-Water, said: “As water stress increases, so do the risks of local or regional conflict. Unesco’s message is clear: if we want to preserve peace, we must act swiftly not only to safeguard water resources but also to enhance regional and global cooperation in this area.”

The UN’s annual world water development report did not delve into such conflicts, as that would have been “too politically sensitive”, according to the report’s editor-in-chief, Rick Connor.

He said: “Water has most often been a tool, a target or a victim of warfare but not typically the cause of war. Disputes over water can occur when demand exceeds supply, when availability is compromised due to pollution, when access to an allocation of water is restricted, or when water supply and sanitation services are disrupted. These disputes can range from legal disputes to violent altercations, often reflecting event specific and location specific social, political, environmental, demographic conditions.”

The impacts of water shortages and tensions over water include forced migration, food insecurity and other health threats and particular dangers for women and girls, the report found.

Little progress has been made on water issues in recent years as the climate crisis, pollution and overuse of freshwater resources in some areas have put further stress on water. Nearly half of the world’s population lacks access to hygienic sanitation, and about 2.2 billion people cannot rely on a safe supply of drinking water. These levels of unmet need around the world have increased markedly over the past two decades, despite being targeted as one of the UN’s sustainable development goals for 2030.

Instead, if trends continue, water shortages are likely to affect even more people in the future. Global freshwater demand will outstrip supply by 40% by the end of this decade, according to the preliminary findings of the biggest report yet on the world’s water, which is due to be published this September by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, which is separate to the annual world water development report of UN-Water.

In 2022 about half of the world’s population experienced severe water scarcity for at least part of the year, and between 2002 and 2021 droughts afflicted more than 1.4 billion people.

The Next Great War: The End of History and the Last Hegemon

Join me this week as I explore the competition between the US, China, and Russia, the battle for hegemony, and the potential for a great power war. Let’s also unpack the inability of academia to challenge great power revisionism together. Don’t miss out!

In the field of international relations, still marked by the memories of the great power wars from the first half of the previous century, the focus is primarily on understanding international conflict. This focus is particularly sharp when it comes to conflicts between great powers, as these are the actors that establish order within the system[1].  In this perspective, states are like…

What caused the Ukraine-Russia war??

After the collapse of soviet union in 1991 many countries were formed.Ukraine was one of them.Russia the successor state of soviet union wanted every former soviet country to remain pro russia and avoid the American led order and institutions. Nato a security alliance was formed to stop and protect Europe from communist soviet union.After the collapse of soviet union till now 7 former soviet countries have joined nato which is highly disliked by Russia.When the russians saw ukraine becoming pro west it invaded crimea(a part of ukraine).The other reason behind the invasion of crimea is russia dose not have enough warm water ports most of its ports freeze during winter making it difficult for the russian navy to project power.

Russia fears ukraine becoming a part of European union and Nato.If Ukraine becomes part of nato a huge amount of natoweaponary will be stationed on the russian-Ukrainian border which will become a national security threat for russia.

Russia Hates the American heagemony and dose not wants its former soviet countries to become pro US but remain as russian vessel states.
