The Truth . . . Hurts !

Russians will stand up . . . it is just a matter of time . . . and when they do . . . out of outrage and hunger . . . God bless the Russian economy . . . It's 'Politicians' and ANYONE getting in their way !

The World has seen this Malevolence many times before . . . Probably Never at this scale . . .

When this comes home to Roost for the Russian People . . . we may even see civil war ??

With all the Billions of $$ on the sidelines . . . Moved to the west . . . Putin will wish he NEVER heard of The Ukraine . . .

He is already running scared by sending missiles to try and frighten people far from the front lines . . . What it has done is STRENGHTEN their resolve and the out right disgust in the West !

Every Missile delivered brings 10 more to defend from the west . . . Soon, this tragedy will come to a head . . . when it does . . . The Russian People, at large, will be paying the enormous bill for this egregious act of Putin's making . . . While the World supports Zelensky and his courageous people . . .

On the world's panic over fossil fuels led by unscientific Greenpeace headbangers, led by Merkel and her refusal to expand nuclear energy (hats off to France), here is something from The Spectator this week on Boris Johnson:

Deep down, I suspect, Boris must have known that (in the words of the commentator Robert Bryce) what the world needs now is cheap, abundant energy, period, full stop, end of discussion. In short, fossil fuels are mankind’s friend. The unpleasant irony is that their exploitation has made the world so rich that we have to put up with busybodies skirling about the dangers of climate change as they jet hither and yon to enjoy the fruits of a fossil-fuel-supported economy.

Trudeau and Biden led by anti-fossil fuels bullies.

As with all wars, it is the common masses that suffer. I recall the impact on me, standing infront of the Vietnam War Memorial in D.C. Over 50,000 everyday Americans gave their lives while 4 different administrations told half-truths to their citizens. Add to that how many lives of Veterans were destroyed. That conflict went on for what…roughly 20 years of US involvement? Putin is playing chess with the lives of so many. Somehow, the conflict had to start hitting Russian soil I think. A needless, sad time for so many
