Dear All,
I agree with the views expressed. In the short term that boycott is our
obligation, in a medium term we would see. It will depend on the course
of war and the atrocities committed.
I copy from an excellent text by Y. Harari in the Guardian:
*We can all be inspired to dare to do something, whether it is make a
donation, welcome refugees, or help with the struggle online. **The war
in **Ukraine** wil**l shape the future of the entire world. If tyranny
and aggression are allowed to win, we will all suffer the consequences.
There is no point to remain just observers. It’s time to stand up and be
counted.*
*Unfortunately, this war is likely to be long-lasting. Taking different
forms, it may well continue for years. But the most important issue has
already been decided. The last few days have proved to the entire world
that Ukraine is a very real nation, that Ukrainians are a very real
people, and that they definitely don’t want to live under a new Russian
empire. The main question left open is how long it will take for this
message to penetrate the Kremlin’s thick walls.*
Regards--Pedro
