It is inspirational to see people courageously defend thier convictions and way of life. Civil wars do happen, and unfortunately a difference in view occurred between the majority of Ukrainians and two regions in Eastern Ukraine. Mistakes were made, probably on both sides and disagreements deepened. There is nothing worse than a civil war within a country, and the very worst aspects of war come into play. It's like seeing two beautiful children get into a fight over a genuine difference, where both have a grievance, and not stop until they destroy each other. Some adults are better then others in quelling such a dispute. It's an art and a skill, and there is no hard set of rules that could be laid down to blindly followed to ensure success. Trump has demonstrated his political skills. Politics is a murky and mucky business, and Trump is a professional who manages to make things happen his way, for good or bad. I would regard him as a loyal American all things considered. There are some excellent Democrat candidates out there. I know many here are passionately anti Trump, no bones about it, but if his opposition manages to at least bring some of those more able and capable candidates to the fore, I am sure the world will be a better place for it. I appreciate your input to my enquiries and statements. There is much for me to study. Differences in interpretation and outlook is just part of human nature. One of them things. I hope you, and the other thread contributers, have a good weekend and enjoy some leisure time. A rested sound mind is better in dealing the adversities of life. Thanks for the recommendations and links.
