The description in UKRAINE'S VICTORY IS COMING covered aspects of Putin's invasion of Ukraine; his war against the country and its people to establish post-Cold War security architecture, a major feature of his imperial dream to integrate Russia into Western and global institutions -- UKRAINE'S VICTORY IS COMING is an unforgettable hymn to people 'fighting for their own country'; it is a hymn to democracy, and a hymn to the Ukrainian people. It began with President Volodomyr Zelenskiyy's prose poem to Putin -- to Ukrainians -- and to the world:
"Do you still think that we are “one nation”?
Do you still think that you can scare us, break us, make us make concessions?
You really did not understand anything?
Don't understand who we are?
What are we for?
What are we talking about?
Read my lips:
Without gas or without you?
Without you. "
and it ended with the words of Oleksii Reznikov, Minister of Defense of Ukraine,
“We have learned not to be scared,”
“Now we ask the rest of you not to be scared too.”
Reading and thinking about UKRAINE'S VICTORY IS COMING was the most memorable early morning hour I have spent in months.
Thomas McKelvey Cleaver's report about the Ukrainian military's achievements during Putin's war
against their country is also a hymn to people 'fighting for their country'. Tom speaks to us all.
He has coordinated all the aid that has been given by the US and NATO. Without him, you can be certain it wouldn't have happened and Putin would have been "proven right."
Good to see you, Allen. I am a person of her word. Less than 24 hours have gone but enough time to think that, perhaps, Biden deserved stronger approval when you first challenged me. Withal, Biden bringing NATO together in support of Ukraine as well as supplying munitions and money (while not soon enough or as much as Ukraine needs from your perspective) and enacting severe sanctions against Putin's Russia demonstrate his 'credible' policies toward Ukraine and Russia from my perspective.
OK. I'll give you all that. There is no denying that Biden's foreign policy is good for all of us including Ukraine but I still want to know what is his end game regards the war. That no one has answered yet.
As Ukraine proves itself more capable, the US will support them more. The fact there is an idiot in command of enough nuclear weapons to still wipe out the world is something that cannot be forgotten ever.
Ah, yes, the nuclear scare. Honest to God, Americans are the most frightened people on earth. There will be no nuclear war. I the stuff won't work as it has not been maintained any better than his tanks. 2. Putin may be a lunatic but his generals are not. The countries closest to Ukraine are not worried about nucs, they are worried about Russia and rightfully so.
The answer doesn't rest with Biden -- what about the inner circle in Russia? How will Putin's future be determined, and Russia without Putin -- what will that mean? That is the best I can do 'Will', but it is my good fortune to communicate with you.
TC, I don't know that I ever learned as much from a series of exchanges than from this one. Thank you for keeping me on board and for being my valued teacher.

Thank you.
Fern, have you found a credible Biden policy towards Russia and Ukraine yet. And I mean what he is doing, not what he is saying.
He has coordinated all the aid that has been given by the US and NATO. Without him, you can be certain it wouldn't have happened and Putin would have been "proven right."

You should have been a politician
Shall I thank you for that, Allen?
It depends on which kind of mad Irish/Jewish politician you would have been, Fern. :-)
I think it is safe to assume you would have been the hell-raising variety, for good causes.
TC, I don't know that I ever learned as much from a series of exchanges than from this one. Thank you for keeping me on board and for being my valued teacher.
You're a "tough house" to play, Fern, but worth the effort.
: - )
I think you're somewhere in the vicinity of 1000% there, Tom.
Lordy Fern, what good trouble we can make!! I am 1/2 Irish and a bit Jewish, with some hard working German in the mix. And, obviously, mad. What fun!
I always knew we were family! (the Irish in me was through marriage, friendship and spirit).
