There should be a presidential election in Ukraine to see if the country still supports this proxy war against Russia.
During the American Civil War, in 1864 there was still a presidential election with Lincoln pitted against the peace candidate McClelland. Lincoln won and the war continued, but I don’t think that would be the case in Ukraine.
I think the Ukranian people have a right to say whether they want the proxy war against Russia to continue. Americans were given that right in 1864, even at the height of our civil war. That’s called democracy.
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.
