            He is trying to evoke war flames. This is the point that would be better for the world to take action—a sane action not playing in his game and with his rules.

                Hi Guys,

                I did a quick catchup read since my last comments. I see this thread is going strong with all sides having their say.

                Even here is Ennis (a small town in the West of Ireland where I live ..... currently!) is showing the effects of the mess in Ukraine. I have met with a number of people that have fled the Ukraine and I welcomed them. They are just ordinary people like you and me trying to get by the best they can!

                Until we see the World being run by 'ordinary people' we will never have peace and real prosperity. From what I see the World has and is being run by the elites from their cushy and safe positions. This has been the situation for many years. Does anyone seriously think that Hitler would have got into power and stayed for as long as he did without the backing of the elites?

                So, until we see something that resembles Direct Democracy happening Worldwide nothing will change and we will see 'business as usual' for the Elites. As Major General Smedley Butler said ..... 'War Is A Racket'. I think it's a great racket if you are part of the Elite group that finances it and profits hugely from it. By the way, the real Elites have no country and they don't want one! It's just a case of profit and lose for them. I imagine they would be totally happy living in outer space if they could have all the creature comforts they are used to. From this position they could really treat us like pawns on a chessboard. I would include, Biden, Jinping, Putin, Jong-un, Johnson etc etc in the group of pawns even though may feel otherwise.

                So you may as well start being happy being a pawn as it's not going to change anytime soon.

                    You have got a lovely town, Mike!
                    Also, I am in total agreement with your thought, with a minor modification.

                      Not sure this thread would still be going what with the news fatigue etc. We are still being shocked though.

                      Health issues joined by a total pc failure it has taken some weeks to deal with. Very grateful for Chilblast who sorted the problems for me.

                        My closest friend lives in Moscow, so I have very regular contact. He reported 2 days ago that a number of Polititions in St Petersburg offically called for the sacking of Putin. He then stated that a number of Polititions in Moscow mirrored the sentiment. The sentiment can be summed up by this translated quote " We ask the President to resign due to the fact his views (sic) outdated beyond hope and prevent Russia from delevoment"
                        I know nothing of Russian politics but I am thinking they would not have made a statement without some sort of leverage, because they all face the wrath of POO-TIN and they risk there own freedom and perhaps lives.
                        I wonder how much length and breadth this sentiment has at those levels and how what it means in optential outcomes. I think this is exiting as it is the first such stirring of this type, as I understand it and the opinion of my Moscovite freind.

                          Wow Liam I had to go look that up, and it's true! What I was hoping, that the people would rise up against that guy, could be happening.

                          This is that statement- “The rhetoric you and your subordinates use is full of intolerance and aggression,” the statement said. “People once again fear and hate Russia while we threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons.” The Lomonosovsky district added: “Therefore, we ask for you to be relieved of your duties as your views and governance model are hopelessly outdated.”

                          Police pursue local Russian lawmakers who urged charging Putin with treason

                          In a brave display of resistance, local lawmakers in northern Russia called on the State Duma to censure President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. Instead, the lawmakers were quickly brought up on criminal charges, accused of discrediting the Russian army.

                              It seems the boot is on the other foot militarily too with significant gains by the Ukrainians.

                              They seem more positive than ever that they can win on the ground which is a good sign.

                                It saddens me to see continuing revelations of humanitarian crimes in this conflict. Various mentions to the effect that Putin is being criticised with impunity suggest he is coming to the end of his popularity in Russia. For the sake of everyone, including Russians, I wish they would get a move on and depose Putin and his murdering associates. Before they do something monumentally bloody stupid and devastating for all.

                                Stay well folks, you and yours.

                                  Mordor is heading to mobilization. It's a matter of nearest period.

                                    Discovering those crimes on the recaptured grounds would remain an everlasting wound on the face of humanity. It has been a while since I have not chased after the Ukraine news as here has been an absolute mess after the death of Mahsa Amini. such tragic death...
