Rock Paper Scissors and the Sacrificial Geometry of Imperial Proxy Wars
The short film 'Rock Paper Scissors,' co-written by a Ukrainian teenager named Ivan who later died in battle, captures the brutal civilian experience of the war in Ukraine, winning a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination. The tragic and heroic story of Ivan, sacrificed in a conflict fueled by Western geopolitical machinations and NATO expansion, stands as a damning indictment of a world order that consumes the youth of sovereign nations for imperial agendas.
