Maasai Warriors

I know I have been gone for a while. And I really hate to come back with a post like this., but I can’t help it. As I am sure many of you have, I have been watching Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. I’ve been on this earth for a very long time and I have never seen war like we see it now on TV. Disturbing is a gross understatement. My heart bleeds for the Ukrainian people.

 

At the same time, my disdain for our government and NATO has never been higher. I know, “we don’t want to go to war with Russia”. I get it. On the other hand, back in the late 1930s there was another madman with an agenda. His name was Adolph Hitler. Had we all as a group (such as NATO) decided to stop him before he killed 6 million Jews, Japan would have never been encouraged to enter the war and we may have averted WWll. Right now we see China thinking, if Putin did it, we can too. And they will be invading Taiwan in the very near future.

 

We must stop this madman now. This is not the time to avoid confrontation. It is the time to confront it with a united force of the US and its NATO allies. Otherwise, Poland will be next and so it goes. WWIII will be here because of one man’s irrational appetite and our cowardly lack of response. Yes, I know about all the sanctions we have placed on Russia. However, we still buy a portion of our oil from Russia and Europe still buys nearly 50% of theirs from Russia. So, if you think about it, the US and Europe are funding Putin’s war against Ukraine. We must become oil independent as we were during the Trump years and become the major supplier of oil for the US and Europe. That is the only way we cripple Russia.

 

Having said all of that, the most important thing we can do is to help Ukraine cut the head off of the snake before the snake bites us.

 

For those of ;you who are interested,, my hip replacement surgery went well, I am doing fine. Even driving now.
