    I just don't know about info we get, from any source These days, especially Big Media. I think the only way we would really know the truth is to see it with our own eyes. I know some have, and we had a speaker at church last Sunday from Uganda. When he was 6 war broke out there, I don't recall everything he said, and it was a little hard to understand his English, but I got some main points.

    Russia is not a country that we are at war with, and America has never actually been in a war against Russia. In fact, Russia and America have often been allies, although not a close friendship between the two countries.
    Russia has sent help when we needed it, too. I remember one of our ice breaker ships was stuck in the ice and Russia sent their ships to save our people.

    They have helped out with transport to and from the ISS sometimes as well, and have just now brought home one of our stranded atsronauts from the space station because NASA can’t get there to bring them home, and the one astronaut is sick.

    Americans seem to be having trouble telling the good guys from the bad guys in multiple situations these days. The Biden administration has played a role in that.

    Many know little about Zelensky and Ukraine. Some are either too young or may have forgotten that Russia has played a role in much that was evil. Some of us just don't want to be involved in this Biden war. Biden has not conducted it correctly with his start and stop approach. Others say NATO is next if Putin takes Ukraine and they want to prevent that. .

    In the same vein some people can't see a difference between Israel and terrorism.

    When something breaks out with China and Taiwan we will probably see people who side with China.

    I think our schools have played a role in blurring the lines, so has immigration, a diminished belief in God and cultural and political influences, to name a few. We are not the country we used to be, IMO.

    Putin's goal is to eliminate Ukrainian people, identity, history, territory, culture. That makes Putin evil. I don't understand sympathy for a brutal, murderous dictator. The Ukrainian people voted to be independent.

    He should ask, "Can a pantsless, piano-playing comedian be competent to led a nation in war?"

    President Trump has announced that he is meeting with Zelensky tomorrow morning at Trump Towers in New York. Some people are saying that Netenyahu and Putin are also in New York, and so is Biden; so something is maybe happening there.

    It is the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly. Lots of foreign diplomats are in the country, but I don't think Putin is one of them. He would be a fool to come here. Netanyahu is here or will be. He is justifying killing more civilians in the last week than Putin has this year. I don't think Hezbollah is represented, but I think the President of Iran is also attending (not the Ayatollah).

    Now I hear that Zelenskyy is at the EU headquarters issuing an ultimatum to Europe and NATO: "Let us into NATO or we will pursue nuclear weapons." Russia says that if Ukraine is given the okay to develop nuclear weapons or is admitted to NATO, it will nuke Ukraine. The world knows there is nobody competent leading the U.S., so action must be taken in case there is a "competency takeover" of the U.S. government. At the moment the leaders who are at the top of the military ladder as there because of their gender, race, sexual preference, gender identity, or political philosophy. Very little competence near the top and our enemies (and "friends") know it. North Korea is also reportedly sending troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine. As we spiral toward Hades....

    Yep. North Korean troops are supposedly already there. They are to fight only in Russia and supposedly will not enter Ukraine.

    Bad either way but guess that it's better than Ukraine. Reminds me of a song by The Grass Roots, Live for Today, because thats all we really have.

    I just hope they stop killing each other. And we don't get any more involved.
