Uhh, let's see.‪.‬ Saksham Sharma

this one is a short five-minute podcast i wrote for the Department of justice's audio-visual creation competition. It's something really think a lot about, the fact that empowerment could fall short against the friction that the patriarchy poses. that's something we need to explore, so Uhh, let's see..

So, this entire Russian Invasion of Ukraine was as unnecessary as this Podcast. I mean, the world has gone through enough bs, this political point of view of "eradicating" any potential threat can wait a few months, GOD! But, this entire charade actually showed us that the world we live in, the system and order we hope would save us from any conflict is actually very fragile and those who have power, don't actually hesitate to use it. It's incredibly scary. The interesting thing is, all the diplomatic tactics actually are amongst the leaders, the soldiers whose lives are basically the leverage over which a country brags its incredible military strength is actually kinda undermined. Moreover, the civilians who are trapped between the gunfire have it the worst, they have literally no control over anything and they just lose their lives to pointless propaganda.

We know all that, but what the world is not exactly promoting is how the Russians who are miles away from gunfire have had it pretty bad and are in desperate need of help and support. their country has been sabotaged and the leaders who claim to be on a "righteous path" could quite literally be power-hungry warmongers who wouldn't think twice before murdering thousands to "prove a point"

I believe Russians have gotten the bad end of a horrible deal and they need our sympathy and empathy. wonder why? Uh, Let's See..
