back to normal

Back to normal The festivities are over, and the morning news is about the war in Ukraine, we are told how successful their army is shooting down 13 drones and killing a Russian in a boat. Regarding the ongoing slaughter in Gaza, it was hardly mentioned, one assumes it was too grisly a show so early in the morning. On another news channel, the boat is now a warship, and many sailors were killed the Zelinsky regime has changed the orthodox Christmas 7th of January to Europe's calendar to the applause of UE who takes delight in such matter President Zelinsky, who has not been elected to this job, insist he is winning the war against Russia, his view is echoed by Jens Stoltenberg, the NATO chief, acting as the USA's errand boy, and when a new NATO chief is elected, he has a job lined up as the governor of Oslo's State-directed bank.
