True Sam, but the sorrow they create is enormous. One would think by now, with thousands of years history, that a civilized world would be able to spot one in the making. and sort it.

Greeting Harry. You are so right when you say these models of wickedness and evil create a quicksand of sorrow that seemingly has no bottom! When will we ever learn?! Hope you had a wonderful Easter. Blessings to you my friend!

True, very true, and I hope it will stay applicable for today's Tyrants, despots, and dictators ( all three words are Greek words, my friend, Sam.) Well done! Blessings!

This is a case where I hope that history will impose its repetitive nature. There is wisdom in the saying "what goes around comes around" and we reap what we sow. Can't happen too quickly. And the Greeks do have a way with words! ;) Blessings dear friend. Happy Easter!

Sam..I think of all the dead Ukrainians. They citizens died horrible deaths. Those lovely Nazis, 3000 tried at Nuremberg, all were excused. Yes! Majority of Nazi leaders, blew their brains out or drank poison.fast and out! And some shot all their family. All of Europe was decimated. Soldiers drunk, raping women Meanwhile Nazis lived high on the hog. China is killing anyone they choose. Even beating dogs to death, Leaders are not starving. USA Leaders? Ripping us all off....Oink
