Putin's war is hopeless for Russian solders

“B**ch, we haven't been on vacation for years and f**k it,” the soldier still fighting in the war said. “When are you going home, Vasya? At least tell me,” the wounded soldier asked. He replied: “I wish I knew.” The second soldier asked the wounded soldier how many people were in the hospital with him. He replied: “More than 500 people! Many more will come...” Describing the ongoing war which he is still participating in, the fighting soldier said: “Everything is the same as it used to be.” He added: “From here, we must move on to Sinkivka.” “They're making it difficult for us, squeezing our rights everywhere,” the injured soldier exclaimed. “The second year has passed, darn it! If I hadn't been injured, I would have stayed there.”   https://www.gbnews.com/  Britans News Channel “The most critical time in any battle is not when I’m fatigued, it’s when I no longer care.” ―  Craig D.

I came in from the wilderness, a creature

Shelter From the Storm   'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm Not a word was spoken between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelet

Dictator in a democracy?

Image
(Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post) Former president Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he doesn't intend to be a dictator if he's elected “except for Day 1” Today's serial killers only kill on Day 1.  After that, they are found and shot.  How much damage can a person do in one day?  How much collateral damage, political or otherwise are we willing to tolerate?  Tired of the discord?  Vote? news source    Sarah Ellison   Washington Post

He had warned that without the desperately needed aid funding, Ukraine's military could be overrun. 'If Putin takes Ukraine, he won't stop there,' Biden said earlier. Putin will attack a NATO ally, he predicted, and then 'we'll have something that we don't see and that we don't have today: American troops fighting Russian troops,' Biden added.    msn.com We live in a society of consumerism.  To some degree it is good until those who got, want more and think they can change the age of man with their accumulated wealth and yes, our technology.  The global economy was a good idea.  All nations contributed what they had with material resources and human talent until Russia and Trump tipped the balance of power and greed.  Those in con
