No Winner

Ukraine and Russia, what a dire predicament, an anticipated situation, Muscles being flexed, by both sides, world jittery expecting confrontation, A conspiracy theory, answer perhaps to depopulation? So many hungry and dying in every nation, With this thought in mind, full steam ahead, no dissuasion! I am not a conspiracy theory fan, realize politics are for politicians Humanity however, knows not the truth, dreading a Ukraine invasion, West and Ukraine together, but Russia’s equation? More than likely China, what a combination, Millions will die, someone please use your powers of persuasion.

I sure hope someone does. The situations not looking good at all. A good, thought-provoking write.

It always seems the powers that be can’t go long without a war. Can there be such a thing as an honest politician? I understand your views Jennifer. Blessings xxoo

We don't know the outcome, but God knows. On our knees then those shooting prayers all day when we think of the world's conditions, will make a big difference. I appreciate this well thought out work. It made me stop and think. Your visits to my page are uplifting. Sara

Ditto that, Jen. Somebody really ought to smear something on the little fella’s door handle. Terry

Jennifer, You penned a great poem about this mucked world we live in. Although I do not believe they will launch a devastating war, I feel the end is closer than I ever imagined. I'm happy to know you and explore your wonderful poetry, and thanks for your splendid visit to my page.

the puppet masters are working all over the world and bringing to pass mass horror in all corners of the world. This one is particularly dire looking. What a messed up world, Jennifer. I do believe the end is closer than I ever believed it would be by now.

Yes Jennifer, two men one in each country, prepared to slaughter millions plus their own, for what? greed, power, certainly not self esteem surely. So many clues in history, born in the middle of the second world war, with another called Hitler...Maybe Nostradamus prophecy for the worst conflict ever on this planet, before a great peace and journeys to the star, i fear for my grandchildren and great grandchildren. Brilliant poetry Jennifer, one for today. Hoping i'm wrong, and peace remains

Hello Jennifer ... all war offers is tragedy and if this one flares up, Lord only knows what other countries are going to be drawn into it. Wisely written Jennifer - Lindsay

Yep, if politicians would be forced to put themselves and their wives (or husbands) and children on the front-line, most of these wars would stop before started...but not all, unfortunately. Let us pray together for saner hearts and minds. Joe.

I so agree with you Jo, I'm no politician, but do follow world politics and at the moment the politicians remind me of the witches in Shakespeares play Macbeth 'double double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble' what an apt couplet for today's scenario. Thank you for such a sensible answer, just imagine, i don't think wars would ever come to pass. Hugs and blessings Jennifer

In a war, there are no winners ! I don't know much the political situation you are talking about. But understand your point of argument. A beautifully executed poem, dear Jennifer !

What's troubling to me is this: So few realize that Russia invaded the Donbuss region of Ukraine in 2014. Since then, thousands have died in a war fiercer than anything US troops experienced in Iraq or Afghanistan. Putin's just widening the scope of his ambitions here. (I really don't know what he's waiting for. Biden won't lift a finger to stop him, nor will NATO, and the whole world knows it). ~ More bloodshed ahead

Maybe Biden asked him to wait till after the midterms?

You are so right Jennifer. We would all be losers. Prayers can move mountains and that would be my action. Blessings xxoo

Hard to believe some are still arguing over borders and are willing to send soldiers to kill and die in order to satisfy the politician's greed. Let us pray for peace, and for wisdom and diplomacy to prevail over all disputes. Well written, dear friend. Blessings and hugs ~ John

Hi John my friend, so many will die, is this what they really want, such thoughts come to mind - has it been discussed already among the major players, scary! Thank you my dear friend for your always thoughtful comments, HUGS AND BLESSINGS, Jennifer

Well said Jennifer, wars solve nothing and only bring about wanton destruction and a high death toll. Tom

Thank-you Tom - I think emotions are running high on both sides and no ones is stopping to think and then what? So the one invades and others reciprocate, and the what WW 111????really scary things going on in the world at present. Blessings, Jennifer
