Thank you Diane for your continuous excellent reporting & analysis - I can't praise you enough!!! Your thoughts on Ukr make me so happy & the fact that Ukr is celebrating Christmas 'with' the free world is a sign of great change. Pres Zelenskyy has been a world hero - his steadfast leadership & never giving up . . . is the story of the century. A Ukr Churchill. Slava Ukraine & have a safe & wonderful Christmas.

Hope has always been that “Feather in the Heart,” or the better words she used that I inaccurately remember from the Emily Dickinson poem. In any event, the personal strength of soul and the wisdom to understand we are none of us free, until all of us are free!

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul—"

I don't mean to correct you so much, as thank you for the Dickinson poem.

It fits the holiday season, too.

Thanks Diane for all your observations and comments. Kleptocracy under Putin and his vile lickspittles is endless. Now North Korea sending more troops to Ukraine. And no comments from me about the incoming US government. Just hope you are right and have a good Christmas and New year and rest.
