Yet another horror of the Trump presidency... https://apnews.com/article/un-russia-ukraine-war-resolution-trump-zelenskyy-cde221e5850196776525403e788c272c

Yevgeny Prigozhin allegedly died in a plane crash. Now who could have seen that coming?

Russia (now) Blames USA for Drone Attack on Kremlin UnAssociated Press May 4, 2023 May 3, 2023 there was allegedly a drone attack on the Kremlin. After first blaming Ukraine, Russia now is blaming the US. Ukraine says the attack was staged by Russia. This just in! Russia is (now) blaming Biden, Biden is blaming Putin, Putin is blaming Zelenskyy, and more recently, Baby Yoda has been implicated, but he said, "Ask Big Bird you should!"

While I was watching the news, My son (5th grade) asked me if we were heading for World War III. I can remember growing up, thinking that I was going to end up drafted and in a war (Vietnam was in the news at that time). I asked him what he knew about WWI and WWII. Then I decided he needed a crash course (of history). I found the answer on YouTube.com. These are both informative and entertaining. He has since watched several others in the series. WW1 - Oversimplified (part 1) WW1 - Oversimplified (part 2) WW2 - Oversimplified (part 1) WW2 - Oversimplified (part 2)

Of course, my observations about how much more things are costing me, are much ado about nothing when you consider that Ukrainian civilians have been tortured and shot with their hands tied behind their backs by invading Russian soldiers.

Russian Soldiers Leave Chernobyl UnAssociated Press March 31, 2022 After bombing and taking over the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant disaster site early in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian soldiers who had dug in defensive positions in the contaminated ground, have been seen leaving the area. They are easy to see, one observer said. "They glow in the dark, and keep repeating, 'brains!'"

Elon Musk has challenged Vladimir Putin to fight. If it happens, Elon should eat afterward, so he doesn't risk being poisoned. https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-challenges-vladimir-putin-132916353.html https://youtu.be/s0bClUp9I6w

Russia is split politically, just like the USA. Some support the big lie, and others are devastated by what's happening. This is why we have to never allow a selfish tyrant access to our highest political office. The fate of the world cannot be dictated by madmen. The truth is real, and lies are distrucive--regardless of the political affiliation they spawn from.

"That is a peaceful, sovereign society captain. No I don't think we should attack." "Tell you what, let's go down to sickbay, and Spock can drive the ship..."

From what I understand, there is a difference between the Russians who only speak Russian, and those who also speak English. This is to be expected. The ones who speak English are able to digest news from other sources other than the Russian state.

There once was a man named Putin, Who thought he was highfalutin, He told a big lie, Ordered people to die, And that's how they started the shootin'.

On sale nowhere!

The Russian government, more accurately the Putin Administration, has now made it a criminal offense to refer to the attack on Ukraine, with the words, "War," "Invasion," or "Assault." This is due to what the Putin Administration is calling fake news. This reminds me of former United States president Trump, who used the term fake news frequently when he was caught telling lies. Regardless, this will make journalism much more difficult for anyone under the influence of Putin's Russia. But I will try to break it down so that everyone is happy. From now on instead of using the word "War," we will use "Putin." Instead of using the word "Invasion," we will use "unprovoked attack." Instead of the word "Assault," we will use the word "murdering." In the interest of not spreading fake news, that means that, Putin's unprovoked attack, is murdering Ukrainian civilians.

Remember when Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy into supporting his conspiracy theories about Joe (and son Hunter) Biden? Remember how Zelenskyy refused to lie even though Trump blocked payment of a (U.S.) congressionally mandated military aid package to Ukraine? Remember how Trump tried to make it look like Ukraine interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections--instead of Russia? Remember how Trump said Vladimir Putin is a genius for invading Ukraine? Do you think it's possible that Trump is a puppet who Putin can influence to do his bidding? Could they be working together? Or is this big string of evidence just a huge coincidence? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Ukraine_scandal

The word “ war ,” carries a number of (ideas and) meanings. It is even embedded into many cultures, as the way for young men to prove their strength and courage. But war, also means death, torture, destruction and sorrow. War, after all, is more accurately defined as, “state sanctioned murder.” We condemn street gangs for shooting and killing each other. Sometimes they kill innocent civilians as well. And war, does exactly the same thing—except it has been sanctioned (and ordered) by a government (or organized group) against another (and its population). As we seem to believe that we are more advanced than our predecessors, and more intelligent than animals, it seems that our large brains and amazing communications skills are being underutilized and greed and the need to dominate and injure is still coursing through humanity. Make no mistake. War is murder. And those who use war to promote their interests, are murderers of the worst kind.
