Thanks for sharing those thoughts Corinne.
And yes we need to remember Russia was crucial in the war against Hitler led Germany. It’s odd how many people believe it was America that won that peace (for lack of a better word) It wasn’t.

And yes many others were adversely affected by the war- not just the Jewish people- And they gained a homeland at the expense of many others- including the Palestinians while showing little concern for the massive sacrifices others made.

“Either way the end is the same, if we continue to confront …”
Very true. Thanks for that, Mark.

I was without a father until I was past 4 years old because he was a CDN military Captain away helping to fight Germany — with the help of Russia.

We need to remember that Russia was crucial in ending WWII.

It’s only now dawned on me how my own childhood was adversely affected by what the Nazis did to the Jews — because my mother feared for her husband’s life, and because when men go to war they don’t return as the same people who left us — due to what they have seen and been a part of.

I’ll never understand how Jewish people (with some exceptions, of course) can still claim our pity while seemingly not having an ounce of it for anyone else. Our family lives were completely altered by their horrific predicament, and yet they still warn their offspring not to get too friendly with gentiles.

It’s a phobia, really, and they are certainly phobic about Gazans — to the point of not even caring how many of their little children are slaughtered.

Hi Penny:
I don’t think there is any such thing as “a limited nuclear war”. If you go nuclear, you need to go all out or you risk losing. Hint: mutually assured destruction.
The modern Russian weapons make nuclear weapons obsolete except for wiping out all life on earth.

Clarifying Because nukes in the UK feels like a western threat is being made, as well as turning the country and it’s people into targets.

HI Gary
By nature I’m anti war-so all this terrifies me!
And you’re right- this is a way to become a target.

I’m truly concerned that a limited nuclear war is going to break out- How to define limited? I don’t know. Too many will die that’s for sure.
Diplomacy is clearly not a western trait at all. Despite what we may have been lead to believe. Because nukes in the UK feels like a western threat is being made.

I don’t like any of it!
