    Default For the rest of the story/ies

    I'm not going to get drawn into a lot of discussion about Ukraine and Russia,
    however i would like to offers a few places where folks might want to check to get a broader picture or views of various issues and news items.

    And in general for the record
    •I'm Anti-War.

    •the Russian gov't in general is a "bad guy", but I'm not sure the Ukrainian gov't is a "good guy".

    •I'm not convinced that wholesale support for Ukraine is the best thing.

    •There's No doubt that the wholesale condemnation of Russia is 100% Hypocritical on the part of the US and allies since under "the Bush doctrine" (and without it) we've invaded Iraq and bombed the living Sh•t out of Bagdad and many other cities of Iraq. Via operation "SHOCK AND AWE" etc. And we had troops going door to door into Iraqi homes, with the death of thousands of civilians and torture and all the usual attendant atrocities of war. All because of so-called threats to us from a small nation thousands of miles away.
    And Iraq is only ONE nation we've attacked, bombed the cities of and done 'regime change' in over the past 100 years.
    (all for good reason i'm sure... just like Putin has good reasons right )

    •I'm sure we should avoid war with Russia, EVEN at great political cost. It's self-destructive to do otherwise.
    Even if we 'look' weak . There's a book that says something like "...Pride goes before destruction...".


    Anyway, If anyone is interested in seeing extra info or info from another perspective here are some sites to consider.
    As with all media, take the meat and leave the bones.

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
    Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God.
    1 Peter 2:16
