Salvete Omnes,
it is not going to be about horses and riders, as the war rages on in Ukraine (map)
eh, the imperially-minded Russian Federation and their supreme leader Putin put their armies, in some strange limited fashion and against the typical Soviet-Russian military doctrines of artillery war, against poor Ukraine and her armies.
My hopes and thoughts are with the poor people of Ukraine - especially the civilian population that is already suffering from this assault and heinous imperialism by Russian government. But I truly pity the wasted, in my opinion, lives of these Russian soldiers who have died and will die fighting for the imperial Russian idea. Their mothers will weep in the same way the Ukrainian mothers will...
Poland, where until this armed conflict some 2 million Ukrainians had been working and thus prospered, already took in some 145,000 refugees - women and children - from Ukraine. Slovakia took at least 20,000, while Hungary and Romania probably also a large number too, but I have not checked Romanian and Hungaria news. Also there is Moldova with her rebellious area of Transdnisitria.
Ukrainian men and boy - age 18 to 60 - are staying in Ukraine to fight of this invasion, as they should, because this is what men are for; men are to defend their children and their women.
I hear that some of the Ukrainian men living in Poland are going back to Ukraine - God bless them.
My friend Anton Wysocki has been fighting in Sumy, eastern Ukrainian city north of Kharkov, - he is a great artist and patriot, historian and writer. Hope , these find artists - Sergei Shamnkov and Antoly Telenik are safe and unhurt, but they live in Odessa and Kherson oblast respectively.
But now the invade Ukraine needs you to tell your governments to step in and stop this invasion and armed conflict - weak US leadership did nothing to prevent this war, while European Union but for Poland and the Baltic Republic(old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), was lukewarm, and only yesterday Federal Republic of German decided to allow for some arms - RPG and Stingers - to be shipped to Ukraine (how they gonna do this remains to be seen). Poland has been sending aid, including military supplies, and receiving refugee and wounded?.
But then how is European Union to function without Russian natural gas and countless other materials and resources delivered from the still functioning pipelines?
Pipelines like the Yamal pipeline and NordStream-1. When Germany turned off her nuclear energy plants, save for only one that is to be decommissioned later this year.
Where renewable energy has proven itself to be a dismal failure. Where world leadership is populated by likes of Soros, Schwab and Gates and their ilk from World Economic Forum (WEF) and WHO(run by PRoC and WEF).
I hope this is not going to turn in all out nuclear war and thus world conflict(Russian Federation being one hell of a nuclear power), as the arch-enemy of Israel the Islamic Republic of Iran already probably has nuclear capabilities and Israel has been bombing war-ravaged Syria and Iranian targets in Syria. Nuclear powers - Pakistan is in conflict with India about Kashmir, while India herself with Peoples Republic of China, and PRofChina wants to take Taiwan (a sovereign state) - with US fleet's warship sailing through the Formosa/Taiwan Straits.
Our world is in flux - hope peace will prevail, too bad Belarus is on the wrong side in this conflict.

ReplyDeleteThere is war in Ukraine, Russian Federation armies invaded sovereign Ukraine.
Anatoly Telenik is in Skadovsk, Kherson oblast.
I exchange messages with Anatoly, and I gather from them that the town - as small as it is - has not experienced fighting early this morning. They have experienced problems with electricity, internet and cell phone service. and they are afraid the will have no service at all. They are civilians, the town is smallish and with no military significance.
This war is nothing but a crime against humanity.
