I've been meaning to write something about the Russian/Ukraine situation, but I don't know what to say. It is inspiring to see them standing so bravely in front of their blue and yellow flags, but then you think geez, a lot of them could soon be dead. And the Russkies too, those poor conscripts, a lot of them could soon be dead. And if the Russkies win, what would they win? It would be like Iraq for them, and if the honey-seeking bear's nose gets poked so badly that it runs back into the woods, well that would not be so bad, except a lot of people would still be dead, and the bear would still be out there in the woods.
What is Putin thinking? There is a parade of experts on CNN, this one thinking Putin is thinking this, those other guys thinking that he is thinking that, and myself I think he does not have any solid plans, he is just poking, prodding, looking to see if there is something to be gotten out of it. And I don't see what he is likely to get and am thinking he will just do some face-saving do se do, and slink back, but what if he gets pissed off like someone whose key does not fit into the lock so they start kicking the door? I just don't know.
And now he is cozying up to the Chinese who are cozying up right back. Their earlier friendship ended when the Stalin died and the Russkies opened up a bit, which pissed off the Chinese who had liked Stalin just fine but the new guys were too wishy washy and they parted ways. but now that the Russkies have a new Stalin things can be patched up again.
And as of this morning, the Canadians are still not busting heads in Ottawa, what is it with those guys?
Well I don't have much in the tank today, could use some input from the other dawgs. What about if we talked about where we lived, I in my condo, and Old Dog newly in the senior living, Beagles in the swamp on the edge of America and Boxer over there on the east coast, which to us midwesterners is kind of like England was to the colonies, before, you know, the troubles.
Well, happy Friday.
