Subject: Re: It's the 25th of Feb.... by GRIS on 2022/2/25 14:45:30 HELL OF A TRIP, MARCUS---LIKE THAT PICKUP! 20 DEGREES AND THE SUN IS SHINING, 34 THE PREDICTED HIGH. HOPE THE ROADS CLEAR OFF WELL BEFORE WE GO OVER TO OKMULGEE THIS AFTERNOON--- THE UKRAINIANS ARE FIGHTING BACK, LIKE THE TEXIANS AND TEHANOS AT THE ALAMO, WITH ABOUT THE SAME PROSPECTS. SEEMS DICTATORS ARE ALWAYS PRONE TO HUBRIS. FRANCO WAS ONE EXCEPTION THAT I CAN THINK OF. CLARIFICATION FOR THOSE WHO DON’T READ HISTORY: THE KIEVAN RUS, A SCANDINAVIAN, MOSTLY SWEDISH, SETTLEMENT IN THE 9TH / 10TH CENTURIES WERE, IN FACT, ONE OF THE WELLSPRINGS OF THE RUSSIAN NATION, RESPONSIBLE, AMONG OTHER THINGS, FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE EASTERN ORTHODOX RATHER THAN THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE UKRAINIANS DID, IN FACT WELCOME THE GERMANS IN WWII. AFTER STALIN HAD STARVED MILLIONS OF THEM TO DEATH ANYTHING LOOKED BETTER THAN COMMUNISM. AN ARMED UKRAINIAN RESISTANCE CONTINUED TO FIGHT THE REDS LONG AFTER THE END OF WWII. PUTIN WANTS HIS OLD EVIL EMPIRE BACK. INTERESTING TIMES INDEED! |
