Continue to pray - and FAST, of course.
But not just for the peace of Europe and Russia. But in particular - as absurd, naive and unconspiracist as it sounds - for the mind, heart and soul of Vladimir Putin. And especially right now - that he find the grace and courage to re-open channels of direct communication with Ukrainean President Zelenskyy. As preface, I mean, to an extremely cautious, measured and tentative de-escalation. As improbable as such an outcome might seem.
Because I have the mounting sense that - however justified Putin may be in his long-term fears of a militaristic, self-infatuated, over-ideologized West - he simply has no idea what volatile lunatics he is dealing with. And not just "down the road," but right at this moment. And again, not nearly so much within Ukraine as well beyond her western borders.
