Talk! Yet Aim Not To Wound. Thought is Your Friend. Embrace it. Own Your Emotions. Don’t Let Them Own You.

Racism is a false belief, born out of a desire to prematurely close the inquiry into what makes each of us human. At the root of such desire is fear – fear of knowing the other – which when unexamined leads to their devaluing, their mistreatment, their abuse and death.

The Nations Undecided in the War

Most are developing nations.And just as they are developing economically, they are developing their ability to take a moral stance.Put another way, they need more time to grow up. To mature.Notable examples are India and Turkiye (Turkey). Turkiye is even a member of NATO and yet they have not agreed to the sanctions imposed by…

Does Putin Have an Achilles Heel?

Putin speaks. The world has not yet acknowledged how complete my domination has been.From here, in Moscow, I can choose to kill every day. The number I want killed is entirely up to me. I can say, let me fire a missile into this town… no, let me hit the other town… or better yet,…

I Changed My Mind. Run, Biden

I am now in favor of Biden running for reelection in 2024.Did he stumble going up the stairs to his plane recently? So what?Does he stammer on occasion? So what?Does he miss a beat sometimes?

In his temporary lodging, Putin awakens in the middle of the night.Something was stirring in his mind that interrupted his sleep.He sits up on the side of the bed.He switches on the light on the nightstand. It’s 2:05 am.It’s the first night he spends at this location. It’s secure, with plenty of surveillance.Yesterday at midday,…

With everyone looking on, Putin said, ‘I want that land, so I’ll take it.’And we let him get away with it.But seeing Ukraine’s…

Comrade Xi

I hear that you want to be a peace maker in the war with Ukraine.Interesting.You have, obviously, no shame, sir, not a shred of it.You have encouraged Putin to kill thousands of Ukrainians and destroy their infrastructure,while helping him sacrifice thousands of his own people. That’s children without fathers, without uncles, spouses without husbands.So why…

Present circumstances are creating opportunities and reasons to end the conflict as soon as possible.One, Russia’s army has shown weaknesses we didn’t expect.There are feuds within their forces, which includes the mercenary Wagner group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin. How come such a group gets to play an oversize role in Russia’s defense forces? Something is…
