Prediction Contradiction

'Experts' assured us the Cold War was over
       that Russia’s a bit player now

    My hat’s off to them: We’ve got a Hot War brewing ~
       but Russia’s on offense, somehow

I have no words, luckily, you are political enough for both of us.

I am reminded of the lyrics of a Tom Lehrer song: "Once we thought all Germans were warlike and mean / but that couldn't happen again / we taught them a lesson in 1918 / and they've hardly bothered us since then". What goes around comes around... put a bad person in a position of power and bad things are bound to happen. Divine Passover blessings to you, my friend ~ John

George Carlin isn't around anymore so I guess I'll have to say it: Every time we use hand sanitizer, we are avoiding the plague like the plague, yuk yuk

I remember that Tom Lehrer song, John... Appreciate your insightful comment, your sincere wishes - and that you're not afraid to tackle a subject most on the Soup avoid like the plague... Enjoy the Easter Holiday. Blessings and Bounty, Gersho
