Corrine, don’t leave me, please?!
Though I know eventually you will,but, I can’t imagine it?
For other readers Corrine was the learned blogger when I was just starting out back in 08. She had a good site- and she was kind and supportive.
It’s been a long time

It really doesn’t. I know not everyone is like that. The problem is there are not enough that aren’t.

I was just thinking … it’s all about me. I came into this world at the beginning of WW2 and it looks like I might be going out on #3. I’ve always had respect for Putin, however. He’s not crazy; there’s a calm about him. In my estimation, he’s one of the very few sane rulers on this planet. I’m personally happy to go out on this note, but worry about what kind of world my grandkids might be sleep-walking into.

That’s possible Kaz
I’m also highly suspicious that we’re on the verge of some kind of financial collapse (Tom Luongo has been interesting on this)

In reply to Mark.

So many good points Mark.
Though I believe they need less soldiers, given the prolific use of drones, the soldiers will come from the migrants- that’s my suspicion.
As for industrial capacity- we don’t have it. Which only gives me reason for more concern.
Cause no real option will make the use of nuclear weapons more probable.

I agree, Putin has shown restraint and patience. – I’m not sure I could do that in this situation if I was a nation’s leader.

I might be reaching on this one, but…

They wouldn’t start a war because of the oncoming disaster which is going to unfold with regards to the injection damage from recent history no?
And than blame it on some biological weapons so they can hide the damage they have been responsible for ?

It can’t only be about investment losses by some companies………

You know now that I type it, it might as well be using ww3 to save they own skin. They need plausible story and the best thing they can probably come up with is ww3 with disregard to the Geneva conventions I guess.

I share the sense of foreboding expressed above. The situation is chaotic. Who is in charge in the final days of the Biden administration? Trump’s neo-con faction of hopeful appointees are making inflammatory policy statements willy nilly. Where is any leadership?
Gen. Bauer’s words are farcical…” businesses in Europe and the United States must prepare for scenarios akin to wartime.” Neither us in North America or Europe have the industrial capacity and infrastructure to ramp up quickly to any kind of war footing. We are still talking about windmills and solar panels and DEI.
Bauer feels the need remind us that war, ” would demand substantial civilian involvement. ” Somebody’s got to fill those body bags. Who’s lining up to be cannon fodder ?
The world seems to be in stasis sleepwalking into further tragedy.

Hi Penny:
Fortunately, IMO, there is one sane voice in the room. If the war does not happen, you can thank Putin.

In reply to Kaz. Yes, it appears as if the push for war has been accelerated And it's disconcerting!

Ever since the election results things seems to be getting pushed through in order to get the relationship degrade into war.

And I have been silent lately purely because I had nothing of value to add.
