To your last entry which is machiavellian in content, i would ask you to listen to this video and what this man and his wife have told us and not taking democracy for granted. The battle will never be finished till Putin and his brand of despot thugs and the dissemblers who are accomplices like Donald Trump are vanquished.

Russia is not an easy one to vanquish. do you remember when we were discussing about the Blinken's speech on sanctions that they would have bent russia soon, and I expressed my doubts, I said: surely not on the short term, maybe the medium.long term. But now it appears that even on the pretty long term Russia can withstand these sanctions.
Also, going on with the war entails the danger of an atomic escalation, even because of errors. That would mean irremediable pollution of the atmosphere with radioactivity for many years.

Steve, I keep being amused by your remarks on Mr. Trump. You told in a previous post that you use intuition, but with that guy, it is emotion that seems to overwhelm your whole being.
