You'll feel blessed to know this blog is taking a short pause. I'm traveling to attend the funeral of a dear friend, a fellow Marine Navigator, gone too soon. Since it's the Monday after, and still a hot topic, here are my thoughts and questions, of which, at least in my mind, there are more of than there are answers.
How is that the guy who wants peace is the bad guy?
Is it possible, at any time at all in the future, for there to be peace from this conflict without terms, whatever they might happen to be, that Russia agrees to?
How much is public opinion on Ukraine influenced by the military-industrial complex?
Is there any limit to the financial and other support for Ukraine?
How much is public opinion on what happened in the Oval Office informed by the full range of dislike of Trump's bombastic style, to full-on Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Did you watch the whole exchange in the Oval Office, or did you see what was reported on television?
Is there anything at all that took place in the Oval Office Friday that, in your opinion, Zelenskyy needs to apologize for, or was his demeanor and behavior exemplary and above reproach?
Have you heard or read reports that in recent weeks, that Zelenskyy has made and then quickly reneged on minerals deals with Trump Administration representatives?
Can Ukraine win the war without U.S. or other foreign troops on the ground engaged to fight Putin?
I agree, Putin was the aggressor and that Putin is the bad guy here. Are those of us who have doubts to downright distrust of Zelenskyy supposed to overlook it because Putin is bad?
Do you think there is or that there may be corruption associated with U.S. money and other support? Like kickbacks, payoffs, embezzlement, etc?
How long do you think things would have to remain as they are now, with the war ongoing, before Putin loses his resolve? Can Ukraine outlast Putin's resolve, even with our continued support?
Does the 1994 Arms Treaty with Ukraine have a "till death do us part" clause? Is there any point at which, despite our best efforts to support them, it simply "is what it is," despite that we've done our part?
Can we agree that Putin invaded Crimea on Obama's watch and Urkaine on Bidens watch, and nobody on Trump's watch?
Are the Ukrainian lands now occupied by Russia worth World War 3 and or a nuclear holocaust to you? Will you feel it was worthwhile that your kids and grandkids are dead?
You don't have to answer. I'll see y'all in a week or two.
