⁣You’re the one pushing for a military solution by arming Ukraine.

And now you complain that Russia is opting for a military solution.

Russia isn’t going to bend the knee to either you or Ukraine.

You need to convince Ukraine that it needs to accept peace on Russian terms.

Or face destruction.

Stop encouraging Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian, and then weep when Russia gives them this opportunity.

⁣THROUGH A GLASS, DARKLY: THE DONBAS AFTER THE WAR

For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

1 Corinthians 13:12

In 1961, Ingmar Bergman, the great Swedish film director, released his classic movie, Through a Glass Darkly, which explored a family’s descent into madness through the vehicle of faith.

The film is a contemporary adaptation of a theme explored by the Apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians in which he explains that mankind possesses a limited and unclear understanding of spiritual truths and God, likening this trait to seeing dimly through a darkened mirror.

The conflict in the Donbas in many ways captures the sentiment of Paul and the psychological drama of Bergman’s Swedish family, a human tragedy drawn from the breakdown in relations between the Russian and Ukrainian members of the same Slavic family.

To outsiders who know little or nothing of the nuanced history of the region, the conflict cannot be brought into proper focus, because the clouds of often contradictory information blurs our ability to discern fact from fiction, reality from fantasy.

This same fog of factual uncertainty blinds the participants, who should possess adequate internal filters capable of cleaning out the distortions and dissonance of their own history, and yet are driven to the cusp of madness, much like Bergman’s tragic Swedish family.

The conflict in the Donbas will end someday, hopefully sooner rather than later. Those directly impacted by the physical and psychological horrors of this tragedy will have to find a way to heal the wounds of war.

And those who observed this conflict from a distance, through a glass darkly, will need to understand that some things cannot be understood unless you first delve into the journey of the insanity of that which causes families to self destruct in the first place.

In this episode of The Russia House, Alexander Rogers, a Ukrainian who ended up advising the leaders of the Donbas after the events of 2014, helps bring clarity to the complexity of the Donbas conflict and, in doing so, offers a vision of redemption for the region and its people.
