  1. It was enlightening hearing one TV's top journalists and news presenter's, Chuck Todd, interview two people who probably know more than anyone else on what it is going to take to end the hideous and immoral and cruel Ukraine war. Former Ambassador to the Ukraine Bill Talyor and retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Ben Hodges are experts and they tell it like it is with no spin. General Hodges outlines an analyis of how the Ukrainians can win this war. He shows us how it is probably going to happen. Many people undoubtedly think that it would be more than wise to follow General Hodges' battle plan to the letter; I certainly do. We live 2,000 kilometers from Kiev and many people here are hesitant to speak their minds but they are secretly appalled at the way the Russians have attacked civilians and infra-structure which makes no military sense. Not only in Russia, what I see is that Putin's claws reach far into the mentality of surrounding countries. We see a large part of the world riding the fence as well. But wondering why your president is not gung-ho on sending in the deciding instruments of war, we have to remember the North American proverb of not judging someone until you walk 15 days in their moccasins; in other words, President Biden has a lot of bla-bla-ing to do with America's allies before each new tactical weapon is agreed upon to be sent to the Ukrainian military. Let's be real: the Ukraine is the existential crisis of our time; lose the Ukraine and democracy takes a body blow that could take decades to recover from. We are all aware there are no angels in any government anywhere; corruption and God knows what else plague the human condition in both camps of any conflict. Poor decisions by inexperienced or corrupt officials are the downside of our democratic institutions, but if we let Ukraine slip through our fingers, I believe we are going to be delivering an unappetizing borsch to our children's children for generations to come...
