The aggressor with regard to the Ukraine proxy war isn’t Russia, but US/NATO. Russia is just defending itself against this stealth invasion by Europe.
If anything, we owe Putin a debt of gratitude for the restraint he has shown. Otherwise, we would all be in basements waiting for the missiles to fall.
This proxy war is just more insane and counterproductive US foreign policy. After Iraq and Vietnam, I guess we should expect this — foreign policy that makes no sense and that is not in our interest.
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.
