The Current Disaster in Ukraine

Many apparently believe that when the Berlin Wall came down back in 1989, and then two years later the USSR imploded, that these events signalled the final end to the 'Cold War'. This is rather strange when you actually consider all that took place after these events, and the current (and rather sad) state of the world today. The 'Cold War' over? It never ended!
In fact, the so-called Doomsday Clock is now closer to midnight than it's EVER been, and maybe I shouldn't, but I DO worry about the war in Ukraine getting worse, and spreading to other nations within Eastern Europe. Need I worry? I think so!
The truth is I don't "support" either side in that, profoundly stupid, war. Both sides (and by that expression, I mean NATO and Russia, not Ukraine and Russia) in the conflict seem determined to make it even worse, and being the politicians they are, they don't give a damn about anyone or anything apart from "saving face"! It's sickening, it truly is.

@LordShadowfire that'll bring a worse candidate , you do realise he's just a puppet for some rich russian billionaires

@ihurtmychin I don't know. Seems like some of those Russian billionaires don't like where he's going with this war.

@LordShadowfire if so then it'll stop , hope it does .. the world has suffered enough already , if doesnt stop it'll be worse .. even if it stops now it'll take years to recover from the consequences of that war

@ihurtmychin I mostly agree but not with the point that Putin is the puppet. On the contrary, Putin is the most powerful member of the oligarchy.

Considering that this whole campaign has been an utter failure I wouldn't be surprised if the replacement (yes, even a worse one) would pull the country out of the conflict and blame it on Putin.

@ihurtmychin No, getting involved in a war for 20 years, only to retreat at the end of it, is something that only America does! 😂
