The anti-Russia policy of the US government has been a disaster, and what we are encouraging in Ukraine has pretty much destroyed that country — the fault not of Russia, but of NATO’s aggressive expansion eastward, encouraged by the US.
With respect to Ukraine, Russia had no choice but to protect their “sphere of Influence” against this NATO aggressive expansion. That’s what great powers do. That’s what the US did in the Cuban Missile Crisis; that’s what the Russians are doing in Ukraine.
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
