The wildfires in Russia that are currently destroying hundreds of thousands of acres of land, villages, towns and military bases, and disabling major cities like Moscow is, of course, a result of the abnormally high temperatures and lack of complacency with the fire prevention laws. But, with the magnitude of the disaster increasing by the day, one cannot help but feel like there is something else in all of this. Perhaps a 'warning shot' of sorts to a nation that leads a very wrong existence. Wrong by whose standards? By human standards. Bribery, corruption, lies, anger, lack of compassion, vulgarity, terrifying treatment of the elderly and animals and an aggressive outlook on the rest of the world. I'm sorry Russia, but that's you. It might not be too late to put out the fire, and nature will help, but it might be too late to save the country. Now that will require a miracle.
