Astute commentary, GW. To those in the world who believe Ukraine is overrun by Nazis, Mr. Putin is a hero. To the rest of us, not so much. His "Ministry of Truth" is working overtime propagating misinformation.

"Might is right and justice is the will of the strong" persists despite people wishing it were not so for THOUSANDS of years. One hopes your god ends its lunch break soon! Aloha!

Hi Gershon, I agree with the others below, this is good insight. You would think the world would be in better shape by now. It saddens me to see how things still are. Thanks for sharing such a write. Have a nice day and weekend-Alexis

Wonderful insight, Gershon. Life does seem to be circular, doesn't it? When I look too much at our world today, I feel sick inside. Thanks for sharing, Bill

Sad that these people are so mixed up. I enjoyed reading your quotes from others. It is a sad situation we are seeing on TV the inhumanity of it all. Sara
