"You are on a crusade, Peter, that you can't possibly win," Sylvia replied, wiping her tears away with the napkin that she hadn't used. "No one has ever won a crusade against war. War always happens. And if you risk everything to fight it, you destroy yourself, and I loose you too, together with everything we held dear."
"Actually, I am not the only one fighting this fight," I interjected. "Others are in this fight with me and are much more deeply committed to it than I am. Because of their effort the world might yet be spared a devastating nuclear war in the near term. There is hope at the end of that tunnel already, as slight as it is. I had a lengthy discussion with a high ranking Russian official during the conference. I suspect that he may try to stop the Ogarkov Plan by accelerating the collapse of the Soviet Union. We had extensive discussions about what it might take to save the Soviet Union from its already ongoing internal collapse. While it appears to be still possible to save the Soviet Union, he may be inclined to force his country into an accelerated economic collapse in order to prevent the prepared for nuclear nightmare. He appears to be willing to sacrifice the entire Soviet system for that, by not rescuing it from its present internal collapse. I think he sees no other option for stopping the Ogarkov Plan that seems to have taken on a life of its own. It appears that he MUST do this. I would say that this kind of a response to the greatest threat in modern history is far from being on a crusade."
"That's a hell of a desperate act alright, sacrificing the political system of his own country in order to save the nation and humanity?" Sylvia interjected quietly.
I nodded. "Compared to that, implementing the Principle of Universal Love is absolutely risk-free. However, in the case of Russia, my friend Nic appears to think that it is already far too late for the gentle kind of approach to head off the Ogarkov Plan. You can't turn on the Principle of Universal Love instantly, like one turns on a light bulb. Turning on the Principle of Universal Love involves a scientific development process, and a willingness to start the process. It's too late for that in the Soviet Union. As I said, the preparations for a nuclear war are already in progress. Nic knows that shutting down the Soviet Union would be extremely tragic for the Russian people under current circumstances. He fears that the Western imperial forces would then take over the political vacuum and loot the country to the bone, to the point that ten to fifteen million people would likely die of starvation under the looting-imposed austerity. That's the kind of crisis that we are facing, Sylvia, which has become so critical that no clean solution seems possible anymore."
I suggested that the Soviet Union is in the same kind of situation that mankind would be in if it failed to prepare itself for the coming Ice Age. From a certain point on it becomes too late to save the situation and avoid disaster. The Soviet Union is past that point, although it would be far easier for it to stop the Ogarkov Plan than for mankind to make up for its squandered opportunities in preparing itself when the Ice Age cooling begins. That is why the development of the Principle of Universal Love is so crucial at the present stage, because in real terms we are already in an Ice Age World. Its schedule is imperative."
I could see that this comparison stirred a struggle in Sylvia's mind, that she couldn't respond to in the manner that I evidently expected.
"And even if Nic's sacrificing of Russia were to happen to save mankind, with all these people being put to death in the process when the West begins to rape Russia, the Russian people still wouldn't be spared the real task of rallying around the Principle of Universal Love that alone can lead to a real solution. The imperative to create a real solution never goes away. It comes with the term, MUST, attached to it. Collapsing the Soviet Union to avoid a nuclear-war crisis is ultimately not a real solution. It's a Band-Aid measure at best, an extremely tragic emergency response to a manmade potential catastrophe. The lesser tragedy that results from the emergency response will be the price that Russia must then pay for its inability to respond properly and create a real solution. The Soviet Union has become trapped under western cultural warfare conditions that prevent the development of the real solution for the survival of all nations. The Soviet Union finds itself in the same trap today as the whole of mankind does, being trapped by the spell of the Global Warming Doctrine. The difference is that society doesn't even think in terms of an emergency response to the imperatives in an Ice Age World. That is what the issue is between us, Sylvia. It's about the need for an emergency response."
