Ukraine was attacking Russians with Drones...

 ... well before the attack on the concert hall.  American intelligence agencies might have information linking ISIS to the attacks but, it's not our country at war.  Let Putin and Russia investigate:  this is not our war even though we are the weapons supplier.  

Thing is, we can tell Israel and Ukraine that our weapons must be used defensively only but yet we can see the attacks on Russia proper, and all the civilian deaths in Palestine they cause (don't tell me infants and children and unarmed mothers are legitimate Hamas threats or even "human shields" if the IDF is killing them without infants strapped to their hip.)

Do you know how many America soldiers died in VietNam?  Do you know what the generations who fought that war learned and taught their children if they came home?  It wasn't the same lessons Liz Cheney learned at her father's knee or Megan McCain, the daughter of the heroic POW and granddaughter of the WWII hero either.

Joe Biden's eldest son served, and lost.  He sounded like a nice man too, Beau, but he paid the ultimate price with a brain injury that might have been linked to his war service, as well as genetics. (?)  Hollywood and video games have sold Americans on the idea that War is Glory.  Defense industries, many on the East Coast in the counties closest to DC, thrive on arming up the world to take down so much infrastructure, civilization and kill Others.

Today is Palm Sunday in the Christian calendar, and we pray the week ahead is peaceful in the world going into Easter time ad Spring 2024.  I think most people anticipate a long hot summer -- we haven't have much precipitation up here in the rural farming regions, so drought might be a concern...

We don't have much leadership here at home anymore that unites us as Americans; we've  splintered up by too many identity groups and as we're competing more and more for basics like housing/shelter, there is a lot of competition for basic human needs...

Pray for a peaceful transition in the world as the wars are wrapped up... We can't keep supplying the weapons to keep them going without putting fat target on American backs.  You can never "clean up" as quickly as you can destroy, and the post-war deaths will likely be greater in number than those killed in action.

Politically, I think Joe Biden should spend this week in emergency talks with Congress, crafting a plan to wean both Ukraine and Israel off our support. Encourage them to work for peace:  for Israel, tell them every dollar paid to build a Palestinian port or air drop food and aid comes from their allowance.  Slowly this summer, transfer any aid that might have helped Israel militarily -- Netanyahu has told us the Israelis are prepared to continue their war alone -- to saving Palestinian lives.

The pictures we are going to see coming out of Gaza once journalists do not fear being killed for getting in there and covering the scene will likely sicken most Americans.  That this was done in our name.  It's not political advice I'm giving but humanitarian, but I also do think that severing our ties with Netanyahu's Israel sooner rather than later is the only hope Biden and the Dems have left of retaining their weak grip of power on our nation.

The answer isn't More Guns, friends.  The answer is a change in leadership and if the establishment politicians in Washington cannot do that, American voters on the ground here will continue voting for Change, I fear.  The current crew in Congress cannot deliver, and some of them have enriched themselves (and their own) for years and years and years while America and the world find themselves today in a worse place thanks to our "interventions".
