    Putin, Ukraine, and what next?

    Sear, your idea as to "Half to Russia, and half to Ukraine" is an excellent idea. It would not only show the Russians "so called Government" in real terms what the cost of inflecting the pain on Ukraine is really about. If the conflict goes on much long could Russia simply "drop a A bomb" on the...

    Can a quotation brighten your day?

    I sometimes wonder, if as you age you start to reflect on the past more then before. You youngsters (I am reflecting on 83 yrs) sometimes see things us "oldens" either forget or are confused about but in some ways may be we can add a little experience and colour too. And yes I totally agree as...

    When tanks roll, currencies stampede. How deep into your pocket can Vlad Putin reach ?

    Conspiracy Theories: a COVID-19 Example

    Perhaps, but at the time of the announcement, the claim that the virus was "man made" did not have a great deal of coverage. Question, if the Virus did suddenly jump from animal to man, one wonders why it took so long? And the Laboratory was very close to where the Virus suddenly appeared!

Unless you believe in...

    Conspiracy Theories: a COVID-19 Example

    It appears that a growing number are casting blame as to a "Leak in a laboratory" in China. Something that when this Virus was first discovered was quickly "put aside".

    Putin, Ukraine, and what next?

    Reports of Russian missile attack near the Polish border. It needn't be deliberate. If the missile's guidance system malfunctions, that could be enough to bring NATO into it. Sear So very true, and further what say you that if it did happen and miss-guided missile did land in N.A.T.O...

    Sorry about the bus route. Surely it may seem a victory. BUT ! Sear In this no it was bad decision, if only because no one had asked the residents their views.

    Putin, Ukraine, and what next?

    I gather Chamberlain was a good man, but lacked the Machiavellian ruthlessness necessary to subdue a megalomaniac like Hitler.

    Some very young children observe details that might escape elder observers. Sear Could that be that their minds are not full of the "crap" we tend to "absorb" during our life's. " Sometimes it can manifest as charisma. Sear" Totally agree, and we have seen this when certain Politicians are...

    I am very much a believer, in "Observation " . I also believe some, have the power to "project their image " a sort invisible force. It can take the power of your voice, which then seems to calm "aggression" in some people, or may be it's the power of a personality .
