Thanks for the Past Couple of Years

    Here’s an extra-large thank you to Israel and Ukraine
       who have fought the West’s wars for them
    holding Iran and its proxies, and Putin’s Russia at bay

    Imagine if Putin was now attacking the Baltics or Poland
       or if Jerusalem and Israel, Iran had overrun

    Of course, then the West could stop obsessing about gender and race
       as criminal regimes spat missiles and drones in her soft, fleshy face

All it takes for evil to flourish, is for good men to do nothing, it's time the west woke up to what's going on. Sadly in the UK we have a two tier Prime minister he's full of s..t.

Nice contrasting poetic discussion, Gershon; that we like to pipe in our two cents about, too. I don't think most people would want their stock portfolio or real estate values to drop, but Putin and company coincidentally(I think not) give the US plenty of needed(not for the children this time) money printing and digitalization firepower. If that fails, maybe they'll roll out flocks of bird flu and plenty of money to fix it!

With inflation, we are now piping in three cents, maybe even a nickel soon...

Well put, GW. Our governments brag about all the help they’re giving and then sit back and let those two nations fight those tyrannical regimes alone. I don’t want to be in a country at war… but I cannot reconcile that with letting David take on Goliath on our behalf. Mind you, I fear today’s western soldiers wouldn’t march forth without Shiny boots and matching handbags… oh… and a pocket mirror.

These wars should have been over long ago. But the West has forgotten that the objective of war is to win.

Great truths written here Gershon. This is what is wrong with America they are focused on Tampon Tim"s sick agenda and criminal Hunter Biden"s treason deals with China, instead of what is important to America's allies. It makes you sick...
