Thank you for the kind remark. I would like to discuss a couple of points you may need to review. <<[Putin] How you can defend him is beyond my understanding>> I am not defending Putin. You are "off base" with that whole concept, and maybe this utube interview will help you see through the fog of war, and see the mountain of BS in the press. Don't take it from me, take it from the Ukrainians fighting the Russians. This is not really about Putin. It's Russia as a Nation. Earlier I posted a utube video by another ex USA marine on another thread. He is a Russian Asset, and pro Russian. His business. He also mentions the 3:1 ratio, and Russian Forces plainly do not have that advantage, but in fact the reverse, a 1:3 ratio. You can compare the two videos. This war is not "Putin" he is reacting to what is expected of him by the Russian people, rightly or wrongly. . Lots of issues. The short analysis is "bullets win, people lose". That what wars basically are. I am not really going to talk about Trump much etc, that is "small potatoes" compared to the wars, other then to say "Russiagate" was a big continuous 5 year lie. If you cannot see that now, and all the other problems it caused, including a deliberate ploy to "Russia Hating" then I am sorry. You will have to attend to the spec of dust blurring the vision in your eye before drawing attention to the apparent hefty log in my eye. One other minor Trump point and (strangely enough) Scott Ritter. Regarding the Jan 6th supposed "Insurrection" which btw I found to be so overblown I found it laughable.That was just my ignorance btw as I later found out. A lot of USA elections had problems with voting issues, including the election of JFK. Boxes of votes were found adrift after the election for example. I am finally understanding that the meeting of the Electoral Votes [Electoral College] and the decision made is sacrosanct. That is central to the way the USA Republic works. Trump and his supporters were wrong to try and interfere with that process, as Scott Ritter points out in the video. . That did catch me a bit off guard, and I concede the point. The Election went to Biden.. As far I am concerned I see things in colour, the issues are not just "Black and White" as the main stream media (MSM) makes it all out to be. If you think it is, sorry, we may as well not waste each others breath any further.
